Deuteronomy 23:3-25

23:3

An Ammonite
<05984>

or Moabite
<04125>

shall not enter
<0935> (8799)

into the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

even to their tenth
<06224>

generation
<01755>

shall they not enter
<0935> (8799)

into the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_:

23:4

Because
<01697>

they met
<06923> (8765)

you not with bread
<03899>

and with water
<04325>

in the way
<01870>_,

when ye came forth
<03318> (8800)

out of Egypt
<04714>_;

and because they hired
<07936> (8804)

against thee Balaam
<01109>

the son
<01121>

of Beor
<01160>

of Pethor
<06604>

of Mesopotamia
<0763>_,

to curse
<07043> (8763)

thee.

23:5

Nevertheless the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto Balaam
<01109>_;

but the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

turned
<02015> (8799)

the curse
<07045>

into a blessing
<01293>

unto thee, because the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

loved
<0157> (8804)

thee.

23:6

Thou shalt not seek
<01875> (8799)

their peace
<07965>

nor their prosperity
<02896>

all thy days
<03117>

for ever
<05769>_.

{prosperity: Heb. good}

23:7

Thou shalt not abhor
<08581> (8762)

an Edomite
<0130>_;

for he [is] thy brother
<0251>_:

thou shalt not abhor
<08581> (8762)

an Egyptian
<04713>_;

because thou wast a stranger
<01616>

in his land
<0776>_.

23:8

The children
<01121>

that are begotten
<03205> (8735)

of them shall enter
<0935> (8799)

into the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>

in their third
<07992>

generation
<01755>_.

23:9

When the host
<04264>

goeth forth
<03318> (8799)

against thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

then keep
<08104> (8738)

thee from every wicked
<07451>

thing
<01697>_.

23:10

If there be among you any man
<0376>_,

that is not clean
<02889>

by reason of uncleanness that chanceth
<07137>

him by night
<03915>_,

then shall he go
<03318> (8804)

abroad
<02351>

out of the camp
<04264>_,

he shall not come
<0935> (8799)

within
<08432>

the camp
<04264>_:

23:11

But it shall be, when evening
<06153>

cometh on
<06437> (8800)_,

he shall wash
<07364> (8799)

[himself] with water
<04325>_:

and when the sun
<08121>

is down
<0935> (8800)_,

he shall come
<0935> (8799)

into
<08432>

the camp
<04264>

[again]. {cometh...: Heb. turneth toward}

23:12

Thou shalt have a place also
<03027>

without
<02351>

the camp
<04264>_,

whither thou shalt go forth
<03318> (8804)

abroad
<02351>_:

23:13

And thou shalt have a paddle
<03489>

upon thy weapon
<0240>_;

and it shall be, when thou wilt ease
<03427> (8800)

thyself abroad
<02351>_,

thou shalt dig
<02658> (8804)

therewith, and shalt turn back
<07725> (8804)

and cover
<03680> (8765)

that which cometh
<06627>

from thee: {wilt...: Heb. sittest down}

23:14

For the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

walketh
<01980> (8693)

in the midst
<07130>

of thy camp
<04264>_,

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

thee, and to give up
<05414> (8800)

thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

before
<06440>

thee; therefore shall thy camp
<04264>

be holy
<06918>_:

that he see
<07200> (8799)

no unclean
<06172>

thing
<01697>

in thee, and turn away
<07725> (8804)

from thee
<0310>_.

{unclean...: Heb. nakedness of any thing}

23:15

Thou shalt not deliver
<05462> (8686)

unto his master
<0113>

the servant
<05650>

which is escaped
<05337> (8735)

from his master
<0113>

unto thee:

23:16

He shall dwell
<03427> (8799)

with thee, [even] among
<07130>

you, in that place
<04725>

which he shall choose
<0977> (8799)

in one
<0259>

of thy gates
<08179>_,

where it liketh him best
<02896>_:

thou shalt not oppress
<03238> (8686)

him. {liketh...: Heb. is good for him}

23:17

There shall be no whore
<06948>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Israel
<03478>_,

nor a sodomite
<06945>

of the sons
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{whore: or, sodomitess}

23:18

Thou shalt not bring
<0935> (8686)

the hire
<0868>

of a whore
<02181> (8802)_,

or the price
<04242>

of a dog
<03611>_,

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

for any vow
<05088>_:

for even both
<08147>

these [are] abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

23:19

Thou shalt not lend upon usury
<05391> (8686)

to thy brother
<0251>_;

usury
<05392>

of money
<03701>_,

usury
<05392>

of victuals
<0400>_,

usury
<05392>

of any thing
<01697>

that is lent upon usury
<05391> (8799)_:

23:20

Unto a stranger
<05237>

thou mayest lend upon usury
<05391> (8686)_;

but unto thy brother
<0251>

thou shalt not lend upon usury
<05391> (8686)_:

that the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

may bless
<01288> (8762)

thee in all that thou settest
<04916>

thine hand
<03027>

to in the land
<0776>

whither thou goest
<0935> (8802)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

it.

23:21

When thou shalt vow
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

thou shalt not slack
<0309> (8762)

to pay
<07999> (8763)

it: for the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

will surely
<01875> (8800)

require
<01875> (8799)

it of thee; and it would be sin
<02399>

in thee.

23:22

But if thou shalt forbear
<02308> (8799)

to vow
<05087> (8800)_,

it shall be no sin
<02399>

in thee.

23:23

That which is gone out
<04161>

of thy lips
<08193>

thou shalt keep
<08104> (8799)

and perform
<06213> (8804)_;

[even] a freewill offering
<05071>_,

according as thou hast vowed
<05087> (8804)

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

which thou hast promised
<01696> (8765)

with thy mouth
<06310>_.

23:24

When thou comest
<0935> (8799)

into thy neighbour's
<07453>

vineyard
<03754>_,

then thou mayest eat
<0398> (8804)

grapes
<06025>

thy fill
<07648>

at thine own pleasure
<05315>_;

but thou shalt not put
<05414> (8799)

[any] in thy vessel
<03627>_.

23:25

When thou comest
<0935> (8799)

into the standing corn
<07054>

of thy neighbour
<07453>_,

then thou mayest pluck
<06998> (8804)

the ears
<04425>

with thine hand
<03027>_;

but thou shalt not move
<05130> (8686)

a sickle
<02770>

unto thy neighbour's
<07453>

standing corn
<07054>_.
