4. No Ammonite or Moabite may ever come into the assembly of the Lord, nor may any of their descendants even to the tenth generation come into the assembly of the Lord,
5. because they would not come to meet you with food and water on your journey after you left Egypt, and because they hired Balaam, son of Beor, from Pethor in Aram Naharaim, to curse you.
6. The Lord, your God, would not listen to Balaam but turned his curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord, your God, loves you.
7. Never seek their welfare or prosperity as long as you live.
8. Do not abhor the Edomite: he is your brother. Do not abhor the Egyptian: you were a resident alien in his country.
9. Children born to them may come into the assembly of the Lord in the third generation.
10. When in camp during an expedition against your enemies, you shall keep yourselves from anything bad.
11. If one of you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he shall go outside the camp; he shall not come back into the camp.
12. Toward evening, he shall bathe in water; then, when the sun has set, he may come back into the camp.
13. Outside the camp you shall have a place set aside where you shall go.
14. You shall keep a trowel in your equipment and, when you go outside to relieve yourself, you shall dig a hole with it and then cover up your excrement.
15. Since the Lord, your God, journeys along in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to give your enemies over to you, your camp must be holy, so that he does not see anything indecent in your midst and turn away from you.
16. You shall not hand over to their master any slaves who have taken refuge with you from their master.
17. Let them live among you in any place they choose, in any one of your communities that seems good to them. Do not oppress them.
18. There shall be no temple prostitute among the Israelite women, nor a temple prostitute among the Israelite men.
19. You shall not offer a prostitute’s fee or a dog’s pay as any kind of votive offering in the house of the Lord, your God; both these things are an abomination to the Lord, your God.
20. You shall not demand interest from your kindred on a loan of money or of food or of anything else which is loaned.
