Deuteronomy 23:1-11

[1] He that is wounded in the stones,  or hath his privy member  cut off,  shall not enter  into the congregation  of the LORD.  [2] 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.  [3] 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:  [4] 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. [5] 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. [6] Thou shalt not seek  their peace  nor their prosperity  all thy days  for ever.  [7] 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.  [8] The children  that are begotten  of them shall enter  into the congregation  of the LORD  in their third  generation.  [9] 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,  into  the camp
