1 No man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off can belong to the Lord’s assembly.
2 No one born of an illegitimate marriage can belong to the Lord’s assembly either. Not even the tenth generation of such children can belong to the Lord’s assembly.
3 Ammonites and Moabites can’t belong to the Lord’s assembly. Not even the tenth generation of such people can belong to the Lord’s assembly, as a rule,
4 because they didn’t help you with food or water on your journey out of Egypt, and because they hired Balaam, Beor’s son, from Pethor of Mesopotamia to curse you.
5 But the Lord your God wasn’t interested in listening to Balaam. The Lord your God turned that curse into a blessing because the Lord your God loves you.
6 So don’t be concerned with their health and well-being as long as you live.
