23 “No man with crushed testicles^[a] or whose male organ is cut off^[b] may come into the assembly of Yahweh.

² An illegitimate child may not come into the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants^[c] may come into the assembly of Yahweh.

³ An Ammonite or a Moabite may not come into the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants^[d] may come into the assembly of Yahweh forever,^{[e] 4} because^[f] they did not come to meet you with food and with water when you came out of Egypt,^[g] and also because^[h] they^[i] hired Balaam, son of Beor, from Pethor, in Aram Naharaim^[j] to act against you to curse you. ⁵ But Yahweh your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, and Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because Yahweh your God loved you. ⁶ You shall not promote their welfare or their prosperity all your days forever.^[k]

⁷ “You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian because you were an alien in his land. ⁸ The children^[l] that are born to them in the third generation may come representing them^[m] in the assembly of Yahweh.
