* He that is wounded in the stones , or hath his privy member cut off , shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD . * 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 . * 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 : * 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 #Aram , to curse thee . * Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam Bil #am #; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee , because the LORD thy God loved thee . * Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever . * 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 . * The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation .
