[1] He who is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall
not enter into the assembly of Yahweh. [2] A bastard shall not enter into
the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation shall none of his
enter into the assembly of Yahweh. [3] An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not
enter into the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation shall none
belonging to them enter into the assembly of Yahweh forever: [4] because
they didn`t meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came
forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of
Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you. [5] Nevertheless Yahweh your
God wouldn`t listen to Balaam; but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a
blessing to you, because Yahweh your God loved you. [6] You shall not seek
their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever. [7] You shall not
abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian,
because you were a sojourner in his land. [8] The children of the third
generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of Yahweh.
[9] When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall keep you
from every evil thing. [10] If there be among you any man, who is not clean
by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go abroad out
of the camp, he shall not come within the camp: [11] but it shall be, when
evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is
down, he shall come within the camp. [12] You shall have a place also
outside of the camp, where you shall go forth abroad: [13] and you shall
have a paddle among your weapons; and it shall be, when you sit down
abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which
comes from you: [14] for Yahweh your God walks in the midst of your camp,
to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore shall
your camp be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn
away from you. [15] You shall not deliver to his master a servant who is
escaped from his master to you: [16] he shall dwell with you, in the midst
of you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where
it pleases him best: you shall not oppress him. [17] There shall be no
prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of
the sons of Israel. [18] You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or
the wages of a dog, into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow: for even
both these are an abomination to Yahweh your God. [19] You shall not lend
on interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of victuals,
interest of anything that is lent on interest: [20] to a foreigner you may
lend on interest; but to your brother you shall not lend on interest, that
Yahweh your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land
where you go in to possess it. [21] When you shall vow a vow to Yahweh your
God, you shall not be slack to pay it: for Yahweh your God will surely
require it of you; and it would be sin in you. [22] But if you shall
forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you. [23] That which is gone out of
your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have vowed to Yahweh
your God, a freewill-offering, which you have promised with your mouth.
[24] When you come into your neighbor`s vineyard, then you may eat of
grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your
vessel. [25] When you come into your neighbor`s standing grain, then you
may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your
neighbor`s standing grain.
