Verse 2

A bastard{H4464} shall not enter{H935}{(H8799)} into the congregation{H6951} of the LORD{H3068}; even to his tenth{H6224} generation{H1755} shall he not enter{H935}{(H8799)} into the congregation{H6951} of the LORD{H3068}.

An Ammonite{H5984} or Moabite{H4125} shall not enter{H935}{(H8799)} into the congregation{H6951} of the LORD{H3068}; even to their tenth{H6224} generation{H1755} shall they not enter{H935}{(H8799)} into the congregation{H6951} of the LORD{H3068} for{H5704} ever{H5769}:

Verse 4

Because{H1697} they met{H6923}{(H8765)} you not with bread{H3899} and with water{H4325} in the way{H1870}, when ye came forth{H3318}{(H8800)} out of Egypt{H4714}; and because they hired{H7936}{(H8804)} against thee Balaam{H1109} the son{H1121} of Beor{H1160} of Pethor{H6604} of Mesopotamia{H763}, to curse{H7043}{(H8763)} thee.

Verse 5

Nevertheless the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} would{H14}{(H8804)} not hearken{H8085}{(H8800)} unto Balaam{H1109}; but the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} turned{H2015}{(H8799)} the curse{H7045} into a blessing{H1293} unto thee, because the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} loved{H157}{(H8804)} thee.

Verse 9

When the host{H4264} goeth forth{H3318}{(H8799)} against thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}, then keep{H8104}{(H8738)} thee from every wicked{H7451} thing{H1697}.

Verse 10

If there be among you any man{H376}, that is not clean{H2889} by reason of uncleanness that chanceth{H7137} him by night{H3915}, then shall he go{H3318}{(H8804)} abroad{H2351} out of the camp{H4264}, he shall not come{H935}{(H8799)} within{H8432} the camp{H4264}:

Verse 11

But it shall be, when evening{H6153} cometh on{H6437}{(H8800)}, he shall wash{H7364}{(H8799)} himself with water{H4325}: and when the sun{H8121} is down{H935}{(H8800)}, he shall come{H935}{(H8799)} into{H8432} the camp{H4264} again.

Verse 12

Verse 13

And thou shalt have a paddle{H3489} upon thy weapon{H240}; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease{H3427}{(H8800)} thyself abroad{H2351}, thou shalt dig{H2658}{(H8804)} therewith, and shalt turn back{H7725}{(H8804)} and cover{H3680}{(H8765)} that which cometh{H6627} from thee:

Verse 14

For the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} walketh{H1980}{(H8693)} in the midst{H7130} of thy camp{H4264}, to deliver{H5337}{(H8687)} thee, and to give up{H5414}{(H8800)} thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)} before{H6440} thee; therefore shall thy camp{H4264} be holy{H6918}: that he see{H7200}{(H8799)} no unclean{H6172} thing{H1697} in thee, and turn away{H7725}{(H8804)} from thee{H310}.

Thou shalt not deliver{H5462}{(H8686)} unto his master{H113} the servant{H5650} which is escaped{H5337}{(H8735)} from his master{H113} unto thee:

Verse 16

He shall dwell{H3427}{(H8799)} with thee, even among{H7130} you, in that place{H4725} which he shall choose{H977}{(H8799)} in one{H259} of thy gates{H8179}, where it liketh him best{H2896}: thou shalt not oppress{H3238}{(H8686)} him.

Verse 17

There shall be no whore{H6948} of the daughters{H1323} of Israel{H3478}, nor a sodomite{H6945} of the sons{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.

Verse 18

Thou shalt not bring{H935}{(H8686)} the hire{H868} of a whore{H2181}{(H8802)}, or the price{H4242} of a dog{H3611}, into the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} for any vow{H5088}: for even both{H8147} these are abomination{H8441} unto the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}.

Verse 19

Thou shalt not lend upon usury{H5391}{(H8686)} to thy brother{H251}; usury{H5392} of money{H3701}, usury{H5392} of victuals{H400}, usury{H5392} of any thing{H1697} that is lent upon usury{H5391}{(H8799)}:

Unto a stranger{H5237} thou mayest lend upon usury{H5391}{(H8686)}; but unto thy brother{H251} thou shalt not lend upon usury{H5391}{(H8686)}: that the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} may bless{H1288}{(H8762)} thee in all that thou settest{H4916} thine hand{H3027} to in the land{H776} whither thou goest{H935}{(H8802)} to possess{H3423}{(H8800)} it.

When thou shalt vow{H5087}{(H8799)} a vow{H5088} unto the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}, thou shalt not slack{H309}{(H8762)} to pay{H7999}{(H8763)} it: for the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} will surely{H1875}{(H8800)} require{H1875}{(H8799)} it of thee; and it would be sin{H2399} in thee.

Verse 22

But if thou shalt forbear{H2308}{(H8799)} to vow{H5087}{(H8800)}, it shall be no sin{H2399} in thee.

Verse 23

That which is gone out{H4161} of thy lips{H8193} thou shalt keep{H8104}{(H8799)} and perform{H6213}{(H8804)}; even a freewill offering{H5071}, according as thou hast vowed{H5087}{(H8804)} unto the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}, which thou hast promised{H1696}{(H8765)} with thy mouth{H6310}.

Verse 25

When thou comest{H935}{(H8799)} into the standing corn{H7054} of thy neighbour{H7453}, then thou mayest pluck{H6998}{(H8804)} the ears{H4425} with thine hand{H3027}; but thou shalt not move{H5130}{(H8686)} a sickle{H2770} unto thy neighbour's{H7453} standing corn{H7054}.
