종교 집회에 참석할 수 없는 사람들

23 “불알이 상했거나 생식기가 잘라진 자는 [a]종교 집회에 참석하지 못합 니다.

“사생자는 종교 집회에 참석하지 못하며 그의 10대 후손까지도 참석하지 못합니다.

“암몬 자손과 모압 자손은 종교 집회에 참석하지 못합니다. 그들의 10대 후손까지도 참석할 수 없습니다.

그들은 여러분이 이집트에서 나와 이 곳으로 오는 도중에 빵과 물을 가지고 여러분을 맞아 주지 않았으며, 심지어 메소포타미아의 브돌 사람 브올의 아들인 발람에게 뇌물을 주어 여러분을 저주하라고 했습니다.

그러나 여호와께서는 여러분을 사랑하시기 때문에 발람의 말을 듣지 않으시고 여러분을 위해 저주를 축복으로 바꾸셨습니다.

여러분은 평생 암몬 사람과 모압 사람을 도우려고 하지 마십시오.

그러나 에돔 사람을 미워해서는 안 됩니다. 그들은 여러분의 친척들입니다. 그리고 여러분은 이집트 사람을 미워하지 마십시오. 여러분이 한때는 그들의 땅에서 살았습니다.

이집트에서 여러분과 함께 나온 이집트 사람은 3대 후손부터 종교 집회에 참석할 수 있습니다.”

진영을 정결하게 하라

“여러분이 싸우러 나가 진을 치고 있을 때는 모든 악한 일을 멀리하십시오.

10 밤에 몽설하여 불결하게 된 사람은 진영 밖으로 나가 거기 머물러 있다가

11 저녁때쯤 목욕을 하고 해가 진 다음에 진영으로 돌아오도록 하십시오.

12 “여러분은 진영 밖에 대소변 보는 곳을 마련하고

13 삽을 가지고 가서 땅을 파고 대변을 본 후에 그것을 덮어야 합니다.

14 여러분의 하나님 여호와께서 여러분을 보호하고 여러분의 원수들을 쳐서 이기게 하시려고 여러분의 진영에서 두루 다니십니다. 그러므로 여러분은 진영을 거룩하게 하십시오. 그러면 여호와께서 여러분 가운데서 불결한 것을 보시고 여러분을 떠나시는 일이 없을 것입니다.”

여러 가지 법

15 “만일 어떤 종이 그의 주인을 떠나 도망치면 여러분은 그를 억지로 돌아가게 하지 말고

16 어디든지 그가 원하는 곳에 살게 하고 그를 학대하지 마십시오.

17 “이스라엘 사람 가운데 창녀나 남창이 있어서는 안 됩니다.

18 여러분은 [b]그런 인간들이 번 더러운 돈을 여러분의 하나님 여호와의 성전에 서약을 갚는 예물로 가져오지 마십시오. 여러분의 하나님 여호와께서는 그런 자들을 아주 미워하십니다.

19 “여러분은 같은 이스라엘 사람에게 돈이나 양식이나 그 밖에 어떤 것을 빌려 주고 이자를 받지 마십시오.

20 여러분이 외국인에게는 이자를 받을 수 있으나 여러분의 동족에게 이자를 받아서는 안 됩니다. 여러분이 동족에게 이자를 받지 않으면 여러분의 하나님 여호와께서 여러분이 들어가 차지할 땅에서 여러분이 하는 모든 일에 복을 주실 것입니다.

21 “여러분이 여호와께 맹세한 것은 빨리 이행하도록 하십시오. 여러분의 하나님 여호와께서는 반드시 그것을 요구하실 것입니다. 여러분이 맹세한 것을 지키지 않으면 그것은 죄가 됩니다.

22 맹세를 하지 않는다고 해서 그것이 죄가 되는 것은 아닙니다.

23 그러나 일단 여러분이 맹세를 하게 되면 반드시 그 맹세를 지켜야 합니다. 그것은 여러분 자신이 선택한 것이며 여러분의 하나님 여호와께 맹세한 것이기 때문입니다.

24 “여러분은 남의 포도원에 들어가서 먹고 싶은 대로 마음껏 포도를 따먹을 수 있습니다. 그러나 그것을 따 가지고 가서는 안 됩니다.

25 여러분은 남의 곡식 밭에 들어가서 손으로 이삭을 잘라먹을 수 있습니다. 그러나 그 곡식에 낫을 대서는 안 됩니다.”

Exclusion From the Assembly

23 [a]No one who has been emasculated(A) by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the Lord.

No one born of a forbidden marriage[b] nor any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.

No Ammonite(B) or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.(C) For they did not come to meet you with bread and water(D) on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam(E) son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim[c](F) to pronounce a curse on you.(G) However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse(H) into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves(I) you. Do not seek a treaty(J) of friendship with them as long as you live.(K)

Do not despise an Edomite,(L) for the Edomites are related to you.(M) Do not despise an Egyptian, because you resided as foreigners in their country.(N) The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.

Uncleanness in the Camp

When you are encamped against your enemies, keep away from everything impure.(O) 10 If one of your men is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp and stay there.(P) 11 But as evening approaches he is to wash himself, and at sunset(Q) he may return to the camp.(R)

12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. 13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement. 14 For the Lord your God moves(S) about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy,(T) so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.

Miscellaneous Laws

15 If a slave has taken refuge(U) with you, do not hand them over to their master.(V) 16 Let them live among you wherever they like and in whatever town they choose. Do not oppress(W) them.

17 No Israelite man(X) or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.(Y) 18 You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute[d] into the house of the Lord your God to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detests them both.(Z)

19 Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest.(AA) 20 You may charge a foreigner(AB) interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless(AC) you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.

21 If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it,(AD) for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.(AE) 22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.(AF) 23 Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the Lord your God with your own mouth.

24 If you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat all the grapes you want, but do not put any in your basket. 25 If you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pick kernels with your hands, but you must not put a sickle to their standing grain.(AG)

  4. Deuteronomy 23:18 Hebrew of a dog

23 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the Lord for ever:

Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

Nevertheless the Lord thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God loved thee.

Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.

Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.

The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the Lord in their third generation.

When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.

10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:

11 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:

13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:

16 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.

17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:

20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.

23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.

24 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.

25 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.

Those Excluded from the Congregation

23 “He who is emasculated by crushing or mutilation shall (A)not enter the assembly of the Lord.

“One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord.

(B)“An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord forever, (C)because they did not meet you with bread and water on the road when you came out of Egypt, and (D)because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of [a]Mesopotamia, to curse you. Nevertheless the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God (E)loves you. (F)You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.

“You shall not abhor an Edomite, (G)for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because (H)you were an alien in his land. The children of the third generation born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.

Cleanliness of the Campsite

“When the army goes out against your enemies, then keep yourself from every wicked thing. 10 (I)If there is any man among you who becomes unclean by some occurrence in the night, then he shall go outside the camp; he shall not come inside the camp. 11 But it shall be, when evening comes, that (J)he shall wash with water; and when the sun sets, he may come into the camp.

12 “Also you shall have a place outside the camp, where you may go out; 13 and you shall have an implement among your equipment, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and turn and cover your refuse. 14 For the Lord your God (K)walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that He may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you.

Miscellaneous Laws

15 (L)“You shall not give back to his master the slave who has escaped from his master to you. 16 He may dwell with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within one of your gates, where it [b]seems best to him; (M)you shall not oppress him.

17 “There shall be no ritual [c]harlot (N)of the daughters of Israel, or a (O)perverted[d] one of the sons of Israel. 18 You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the Lord your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are [e]an abomination to the Lord your God.

19 (P)“You shall not charge interest to your brother—interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest. 20 (Q)To a foreigner you may charge interest, but to your brother you shall not charge interest, (R)that the Lord your God may bless you in all to which you set your hand in the land which you are entering to possess.

21 (S)“When you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and it would be sin to you. 22 But if you abstain from vowing, it shall not be sin to you. 23 (T)That which has gone from your lips you shall keep and perform, for you voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God what you have promised with your mouth.

24 “When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes at your pleasure, but you shall not put any in your container. 25 When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, (U)you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.
