chapter 23
1
An
eunuch, whose testicles are broken or cut away, or yard cut off, shall not
enter into the church of the Lord.
2 A mamzer, that is to say, one born of a prostitute,
shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until the tenth generation.
3 The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth
generation shall not enter into the church of the Lord for ever:
4 Because they would not meet you with bread and water
in the way, when you came out of Egypt: hand because they hired against thee
Balaam, the son of Beer, from Mesopotamia in Syria, to curse thee.
5 And the Lord thy God would not hear Balaam, and he
turned his cursing into thy blessing, because he loved thee.
6 Thou shalt not make peace with them, neither shalt
thou seek their prosperity all the days of thy life for ever.
7 Thou shalt not abhor the Edomite, because he is thy
brother: nor the Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land.
8 They that are born of them, in the third generation
shall enter into the church of the Lord.
9 When thou goest out to war against thy enemies, thou
shalt keep thyself from every evil thing.
10 If there be among you any man, that is defiled in a
dream by night, he shall go forth out of the camp.
11 And shall not return, before he be washed with water
in the evening: and after sunset he shall return into the camp.
12 Thou shalt have a place without the camp, to which
thou mayst go for the necessities of nature,
13 Carrying a paddle at thy girdle. And when thou
sittest down, thou shalt dig round about, and with the earth that is dug up
thou shalt cover
14 That which thou art eased of: (for the Lord thy God
walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies
to thee:) and let thy camp be holy, and let no uncleanness appear therein, lest
he go away from thee.
15 Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant
that is fled to thee.
16 He shall dwell with thee ill the place that shall
please him, and shall rest, in one of thy cities: give him no trouble.
17 There shall be no whore among the daughters of
Israel, nor whoremonger among the sons of Israel.
18 Thou shalt not offer the hire of a strumpet, nor the
price of a dog, in the house of the Lord thy God, whatsoever it be that thou
hast vowed: because both these are an abomination to the Lord thy God.
19 Thou shalt not lend to thy brother money to usury,
nor corn, nor any other thing:
20 But to the stranger. To thy brother thou shalt lend
that which he wanteth, without usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in
all thy works in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.
21 When thou hast made a vow to the Lord thy God, thou
shalt not delay to pay it: because the Lord thy God will require it. And if
thou delay, it shall be imputed to thee for a sin.
22 If thou wilt not promise, thou shalt be without sin.
23 But that which is once gone out of thy lips, thou
shalt observe, and shalt do as thou hast promised to the Lord thy God, and hast
spoken with thy own will and with thy own mouth.
24 Going into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayst eat
as many grapes as thou pleasest: but must carry none out with thee:
25 If thou go into thy friend's corn, thou mayst break
the ears, and rub them in thy hand: but not reap them with a sickle.
