* 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 . * When the host goeth forth against thine enemies , then keep thee from every wicked thing . * 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 : * 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 . * Thou shalt have a place also without the camp , whither thou shalt go forth abroad : * 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 : * 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 . * Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee : * He shall dwell with thee , even among you , in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates sha #ar #, where it liketh him best : thou shalt not oppress him . * There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel Yisra #el #, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel Yisra #el #. * 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 . * Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother ; usury of money , usury of victuals , usury of any thing that is lent upon usury : * 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 . * 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 . * But if thou shalt forbear to vow , it shall be no sin in thee . * 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 . * When thou comest into thy neighbours vineyard , then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure ; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel . * 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 neighbours standing corn .
