Exclusions from the Assembly
Deuteronomy 23:1-6
1
No man with crushed or severed genitals may enter the assembly of the LORD.
2
No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation.
3
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.
4
For they did not meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you.
5
Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
6
You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.
