1 He that is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).
2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); even to his tenth generation, he shall not enter into the congregation of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).
3 A Tribal One (Ammonite) or One Of His Father (Moabite) shall not enter into the congregation of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) forever:
4 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Double Straights (Egypt); and because they hired Not of the People (Balaam) the son of Burning (Beor) Soothsayer (Pethor) of the Land of the Two Rivers (Mesopotamia), to curse you.
5 Nevertheless I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) would not listen to Not of the People (Balaam); but I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) turned the curse into a blessing for you because I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) loved you.
6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 You shall not abhor a Redite (Edomite); for he is your brother: you shall not abhor a Double Straighter (Egyptian); because you were a stranger in his land.
8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) in their third generation.
9 When the host goes forth against your enemies, then keep yourself from every wicked thing.
10 If there is 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:
11 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.
12 You shall have a place also outside the camp, where you shall go to:
13 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:
14 For I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) 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 sees no unclean thing in you, and turns away from you.
15 You shall not deliver to his master the servant which is escaped from his master to you:
16 He shall dwell with you, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of your gates, where it suits him best: you shall not oppress him.
17 There shall be no temple prostitutes of the daughters of God Prevails (Israel), nor a temple prostitute of the sons of God Prevails (Israel).
18 You shall not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog*, into the house of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) for any vow: for both, are an abomination unto I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym).
19 You shall not lend with interest to your brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent with interest:
20 To a stranger you may lend with interest; but to your brother, you shall not lend with interest: that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) may bless you in all that you set your hand to in the land where you go to possess it.
21 When you vow a vow to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), you shall not slack to pay it: for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 But if you shall decline to vow, it shall be no sin in you.
23 That which is gone out of your lips you shall keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according to the vow you have vowed to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), which you have promised with your mouth.
24 When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat grapes to fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.
25 When you come into the standing corn of your neighbor, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle on your neighbor’s standing corn.
*Price
of a dog is a Hebrew euphonism for a male prostitute.
