Chapter 23
1 An eunuch, whose testicles are broken or cut away, or yard cut off, shall not enter into the church of the Lord.
2 A mamzer, that is to say, one born of a prostitute, shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until the tenth generation.
3 The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth generation shall not enter into the church of the Lord for ever:
4 Because they would not meet you with bread and water in the way, when you came out of Egypt: hand because they hired against you Balaam, the son of Beer, from Mesopotamia in Syria, to curse you.
5 And the Lord your God would not hear Balaam, and he turned his cursing into your blessing, because he loved you.
6 You shall not make peace with them, neither shall you seek their prosperity all the days of your life for ever.
7 You shall not abhor the Edomite, because he is your brother: nor the Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.
8 They that are born of them, in the third generation shall enter into the church of the Lord.
9 When you go out to war against your enemies, you shall keep yourself from every evil thing.
10 If there be among you any man, that is defiled in a dream by night, he shall go forth out of the camp.
11 And shall not return, before he be washed with water in the evening: and after sunset he shall return into the camp.
12 You shall have a place without the camp, to which you may go for the necessities of nature,
13 Carrying a paddle at your girdle. And when you sit down, you shall dig round about, and with the earth that is dug up you shall cover
14 That which you are eased of: (for the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies to you:) and let your camp be holy, and let no uncleanness appear therein, lest he go away from you.
15 You shall not deliver to his master the servant that is fled to you.
16 He shall dwell with you ill the place that shall please him, and shall rest, in one of your cities: give him no trouble.
17 There shall be no whore among the daughters of Israel, nor whoremonger among the sons of Israel.
18 You shall not offer the hire of a strumpet, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord your God, whatsoever it be that you have vowed: because both these are an abomination to the Lord your God.
19 You shall not lend to your brother money to usury, nor corn, nor any other thing:
20 But to the stranger. To your brother you shall lend that which he wants, without usury: that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works in the land, which you shall go in to possess.
21 When you have made a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it: because the Lord your God will require it. And if you delay, it shall be imputed to you for a sin.
22 If you will not promise, you shall be without sin.
23 But that which is once gone out of your lips, you shall observe, and shall do as you have promised to the Lord your God, and have spoken with your own will and with your own mouth.
24 Going into your neighbour's vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you please: but must carry none out with you:
25 If you go into your friend's corn, you may break the ears, and rub them in your hand: but not reap them with a sickle.
