* He who is wounded in the testicles , or has his private part cut off , shall not enter into the assembly of LORD . * A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of LORD , even to the tenth generation none of his shall enter into the assembly of LORD . * An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of LORD , even to the tenth generation none belonging to them shall enter into the assembly of LORD forever , * because they met you not with bread and with water on the way , when ye came forth out of Egypt , and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia , to curse thee . * Nevertheless LORD thy God would not hearken to Balaam , but LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing to thee , because LORD thy God loved thee . * Thou shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days forever . * Thou shall not abhor an Edomite , for he is thy brother . Thou shall not abhor an Egyptian , because thou were a sojourner in his land . * The sons of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of LORD . * When the army goes forth against thine enemies , then thou shall keep thee from every evil thing . * If there be among you any man , who is not clean by reason of an accident by night , then he shall go abroad out of the camp . He shall not come inside the camp . * But it shall be , when evening comes on , he shall bathe himself in water , and when the sun is down , he shall come inside the camp . * Thou shall have a place also outside the camp , where thou shall go forth abroad . * And thou shall have a paddle among thy weapons , and it shall be , when thou sit down abroad , thou shall dig with it , and shall turn back and cover that which comes from thee . * For LORD thy God walks in the midst of thy camp , to deliver thee , and to give up thine enemies before thee . Therefore thy camp shall be holy , that he may not see an unclean thing in thee , and turn away from thee . * Thou shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to thee . * He shall dwell with thee , in the midst of thee , in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates , where it pleases him best . Thou shall not oppress him . * There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel , neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel . * Thou shall not bring the hire of a harlot , or the wages of a dog , into the house of LORD thy God for any vow , for even both these are an abomination to LORD thy God . * Thou shall not lend upon interest to thy brother : interest of money , interest of food , interest of anything that is lent upon interest . * To a foreigner thou may lend upon interest , but to thy brother thou shall not lend upon interest , that LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou put thy hand to , in the land where thou go in to possess it . * When thou shall vow a vow to LORD thy God , thou shall not be slack to pay it . For LORD thy God will surely require it of thee , and it would be sin in thee . * But if thou shall forbear to vow , it shall be no sin in thee . * That which has gone out of thy lips thou shall observe and do , according as thou have vowed to LORD thy God , a freewill-offering , which thou have promised with thy mouth . * When thou come into thy neighbor 's vineyard , then thou may eat thy fill of grapes at thine own pleasure , but thou shall not put any in thy vessel . * When thou come into thy neighbor 's standing grain , then thou may pluck the ears with thy hand , but thou shall not move a sickle to thy neighbor 's standing grain .
