Deuteronomy 23:3-7 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

3. An Ammonite or a Moabite may not come into the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants may come into the assembly of Yahweh forever,

4. because they did not come to meet you with food and with water when you came out of Egypt, and also because they hired Balaam, son of Beor, from Pethor, in Aram Naharaim to act against you to curse you.

5. But Yahweh your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, and Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because Yahweh your God loved you.

6. You shall not promote their welfare or their prosperity all your days forever.

7. “You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian because you were an alien in his land.
