Tree Of Life Version

Deuteronomy 23:7-16 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

7. You are never to seek their shalom or welfare all your days.

8. “You are not to detest an Edomite, for he is your brother. You are not to detest an Egyptian, for you were an outsider in his land.

9. The children born to them—the third generation—may enter the community of Adonai.

10. “When you go out as an army camp against your enemies, you are to guard yourself from every evil thing.

11. If there is among you a man who is not clean from a nighttime emission, he is to go outside the camp—he may not reenter the camp.

12. Now toward evening he is to bathe in water, and when the sun sets, he may reenter the camp.

13. There is to be a place at hand for you outside the camp, and you are to go there outside.

14. You are to have a shovel for yourself among your weapons. Now when you sit down outside, you are to dig with it and turn and cover up what comes out of you.

15. For Adonai your God walks in the midst of your camp, to rescue you and to give your enemies over to you. Therefore your camp must be holy, so that He does not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.

16. “You are not to hand over to his master a slave who seeks refuge with you from his master.
