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, 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.
