New Living Translation

Deuteronomy 23:4-8 New Living Translation (NLT)

4. These nations did not welcome you with food and water when you came out of Egypt. Instead, they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in distant Aram-naharaim to curse you.

5. But the lord your God refused to listen to Balaam. He turned the intended curse into a blessing because the lord your God loves you.

6. As long as you live, you must never promote the welfare and prosperity of the Ammonites or Moabites.

7. “Do not detest the Edomites or the Egyptians, because the Edomites are your relatives and you lived as foreigners among the Egyptians.

8. The third generation of Edomites and Egyptians may enter the assembly of the lord.
