He that is
wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member
cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of
the Lord.
02 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.
03 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:
04 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.
05 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.
06 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their
prosperity all thy days for ever.
07 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.
08 The children that are begotten of them shall
enter into the congregation of the Lord in their
third generation.
09 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.
