Deuteronomy 23:3
Ammonite <05984> [Ammonite.]
These nations were subjected for their impiety, wickedness, and enmity to Israel, (ver. 4, 5,) to peculiar disgrace; and on this account were not permitted to hold any office among the Israelites. This did not, however, disqualify them from becoming proselytes; for Ruth, who was a Moabitess, was married to Boaz, and became one of the progenitors of our Lord.
Deuteronomy 23:1
man <06481> [wounded.]
enter <0935> [shall not enter.]
It is evident that his law was not meant to exclude such Israelites either from the common benefits of civil society, or any essential religious advantages; but merely to lay them under a disgraceful distinction. This would tend to discourage parents from thus treating their children; a practice which was exceedingly common in those ages and countries. To this they were induced by the custom which prevailed, of employing such in the houses of the great and the courts of princes; so that they often rose to the highest posts of honour and authority. Some expositors therefore consider the phrase, "shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord," as meaning, that they should be incapable of bearing any office in that government which was placed over the people of God, who must thus enter a protest against this custom, and deliver selfish parents from this temptation.
Deuteronomy 11:1
love <0157> [thou shalt.]
This verse is the practical improvement of the conclusion of the foregoing chapter; while the next verse begins another view of the subject.
do ..... keep <08104> [keep.]
statutes <02708> [his statutes.]
Nehemiah 13:1
day <03117> [that day.]
Some suppose that the events recorded in these verses took place several years after those related in the preceding chapter, while Nehemiah was absent at the Persian court; but the introductory language, on that day, seems rather to imply that they occurred immediately, or at least about that time.
read <07121> [they read. Heb. there was read.]
hearing <0241> [audience. Heb. ears. the Ammonite.]
Moabite <04125> [Moabite.]
Nehemiah 13:26
Solomon <08010> [Did not Solomon.]
many <07227> [yet among.]
loved <0157> [who was beloved.]
