Foreigners Are Separated from Israel

13 On that day ^(A)they read from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and there was found written in it that ^(B)no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God, ² because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, but ^(C)hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, ^(D)our God turned the curse into a blessing. ³ So when they heard the law, ^(E)they separated ^(F)all foreigners from Israel.
