 23:1  He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy
member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the
LORD.
 23:2  A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the
LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the
congregation of the LORD.
 23:3  An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the
congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall
they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
 23:4  Because they met you not with bread and with water in
the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they
hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of
Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
 23:5  Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto
Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing
unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
 23:6  Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all
thy days for ever.
 23:7  Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he [is] thy
brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a
stranger in his land.
 23:8  The children that are begotten of them shall enter into
the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
 23:9  When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then
keep thee from every wicked thing.
 23:10  If there be among you any man, that is not clean by
reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he
go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
 23:11  But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash
[himself] with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come
into the camp [again].
 23:12  Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither
thou shalt go forth abroad:
 23:13  And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it
shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig
therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from
thee:
 23:14  For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp,
to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee;
therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing
in thee, and turn away from thee.
 23:15  Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant
which is escaped from his master unto thee:
 23:16  He shall dwell with thee, [even] among you, in that
place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it
liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
 23:17  There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor
a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
 23:18  Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price
of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for
even both these [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God.
 23:19  Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of
money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon
usury:
 23:20  Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto
thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy
God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in
the land whither thou goest to possess it.
 23:21  When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou
shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely
require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
 23:22  But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in
thee.
 23:23  That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and
perform; [even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast
vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy
mouth.
 23:24  When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then
thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou
shalt not put [any] in thy vessel.
 23:25  When thou comest into the standing corn of thy
neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but
thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing
corn.
