< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 Not he will go [one who] is wounded of crushing and [one who] is cut off of penis in [the] assembly of Yahweh.
No man whose private parts have been wounded or cut off may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
2 Not he will go a bastard in [the] assembly of Yahweh also a generation tenth not it will go of him in [the] assembly of Yahweh.
One whose father and mother are not married may not come into the meeting of the Lord's people, or any of his family to the tenth generation.
3 Not he will go an Ammonite and a Moabite in [the] assembly of Yahweh also a generation tenth not it will go of them in [the] assembly of Yahweh until perpetuity.
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their people to the tenth generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people:
4 On [the] thing that not they met you with food and with water on the way when came out you from Egypt and that he hired on you Balaam [the] son of Beor from Pethor Aram Naharaim to curse you.
Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.
5 And not he was willing Yahweh God your to listen to Balaam and he turned Yahweh God your for you the curse into blessing for he loved you Yahweh God your.
But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.
6 Not you will seek peace their and good their all days your for ever.
Do nothing for their peace or well-being for ever.
7 Not you will abhor an Edomite for [is] relative your he. Not you will abhor an Egyptian for a sojourner you were in land his.
But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.
8 Children who they will be born to them a generation third it will go of them in [the] assembly of Yahweh.
Their children in the third generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
9 If you will go out a camp on enemies your and you will keep yourself from every thing evil.
When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil thing.
10 If he will be among you a man who not he will be clean from a happening of night and he will go out to from [the] outside of the camp not he will come into [the] middle of the camp.
If any man among you becomes unclean through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:
11 And it will be to [the] turning of evening he will wash with water and just as goes the sun he will come into [the] middle of the camp.
But when evening comes near, let him take a bath: and after sundown he may come back to the tents.
12 And a hand it will belong to you from [the] outside of the camp and you will go out there towards outside.
Let there be a place outside the tent-circle to which you may go;
13 And a spade it will belong to you with equipment your and it will be when sitting down you outside and you will dig with it and you will turn and you will cover excrement your.
And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:
14 For Yahweh God your [is] walking back and forth - in [the] midst of camp your to deliver you and to deliver up enemies your before you and it will be camps your holy and not he will see among you [the] nakedness of a thing and he will turn away from after you.
For the Lord your God is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you.
15 Not you will deliver up a slave to master his who he will deliver himself to you from with master his.
Do not give back to his master a servant who has gone in flight from his master and come to you:
16 With you let him remain in midst your in the place which he will choose in one of gates your in the good [place] to him not you will maltreat him.
Let him go on living among you in whatever place is most pleasing to him: do not be hard on him.
17 Not she will be a female cult prostitute any of [the] daughters of Israel and not he will be a male cult prostitute any of [the] sons of Israel.
No daughter of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.
18 Not you will bring [the] price of a prostitute and [the] hire of a dog [the] house of Yahweh God your for any vow for [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh God your also both of them.
Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting to the Lord your God.
19 Not you will charge interest to countryman your interest of money interest of food interest of any thing which someone will pay interest.
Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:
20 To the foreigner you will charge interest and to countryman your not you will charge interest so that he may bless you Yahweh God your in every undertaking of hand your on the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it.
From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
21 If you will vow a vow to Yahweh God your not you will delay to pay it for certainly he will require it Yahweh God your from with you and it will be on you sin.
When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin.
22 And if you will refrain to make a vow not it will be on you sin.
But if you take no oath, there will be no sin.
23 [the] utterance of Lips your you will take care and you will do just as you have vowed to Yahweh God your voluntariness [that] which you have spoken with mouth your.
Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.
24 If you will go in [the] vineyard of neighbor your and you will eat grapes according to appetite your satiety your and into vessel your not you will put [them].
When you go into your neighbour's vine-garden, you may take of his grapes at your pleasure, but you may not take them away in your vessel.
25 If you will go in [the] standing grain of neighbor your and you will pluck off ears of corn with hand your and a sickle not you will wield on [the] standing grain of neighbor your.
When you go into your neighbour's field, you may take the heads of grain with your hand; but you may not put your blade to his grain.
