Deuteronomy 23:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ No Ammonite or Moabite may come into the meeting to worship the Lord. And none of their descendants for ten generations may come in. ⁴ This is because the Ammonites and Moabites did not give you bread and water when you came out of Egypt. And they hired Balaam to put a curse on you. He was the son of Beor from Pethor in Northwest Mesopotamia. ⁵ But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam. He turned the curse into a blessing for you. The Lord your God loves you.
