* He that is wounded in the stones , or has his private parts 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 all of you came forth out of Egypt ; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia , to curse you . * Nevertheless the LORD your God would not hearken unto Balaam ; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing unto you , because the LORD your God loved you . * You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days for ever . * You shall not detest an Edomite ; for he is your brother : you shall not detest an Egyptian ; because you were a stranger in his land . * The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation . * When the host goes forth against yours enemies , then keep you from every wicked thing . * If there be among you any man , that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chances him by night , then shall he go abroad out of the camp , he shall not come within the camp : * But it shall be , when evening comes on , he shall wash himself with water : and when the sun is down , he shall come into the camp again . * You shall have a place also without the camp , where you shall go forth abroad : * And you shall have a paddle upon your weapon ; and it shall be , when you will ease yourself abroad , you shall dig therewith , and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you : * For the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp , to deliver you , and to give up yours enemies before you ; therefore shall your camp be holy : that he see no unclean thing in you , and turn away from you . * You shall not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto you : * He shall dwell with you , even among you , in that place which he shall choose in one of your gates , where it likes him best : you shall not oppress him . * There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel , nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel . * You shall not bring the hire of a whore , or the price of a dog , into the house of the LORD your God for any vow : for even both these are abomination unto the LORD your God . * You shall not lend upon interest to your brother ; interest of money , interest of victuals , interest of any thing that is lent upon interest : * Unto a stranger you may lend upon interest ; but unto your brother you shall not lend upon interest : that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you set yours hand to in the land where you go to possess it . * When you shall vow a vow unto the LORD your God , you shall not slack to pay it : for the LORD your God will surely require it of you ; and it would be sin in you . * But if you shall forbear to vow , it shall be no sin in you . * That which is gone out of your lips you shall keep and perform ; even a freewill offering , according as you have vowed unto the LORD your God , which you have promised with your mouth . * When you come into your neighbour 's vineyard , then you may eat grapes your fill at yours own pleasure ; but you shall not put any in your vessel . * When you come into the standing corn of your neighbour , then you may pluck the ears with yours hand ; but you shall not move a sickle unto your neighbour 's standing corn .
