1 No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off may enter the assembly of the LORD.
2 No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the LORD; none of his descendants, even to the tenth generation, may enter the assembly of the LORD.
3 No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the LORD; none of their descendants, even to the tenth generation, may ever enter the assembly of the LORD,
4 because they did not come to meet you with food and water on your journey after you left Egypt, and because they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Mesopotamia to curse you.
5 But the LORD your God refused to listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6 As long as you live, never seek their peace or their good.
7 Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, for you lived as a sojourner in his land.
8 Children born to them in the third generation may enter the assembly of the LORD.
9 When you are encamped against your enemies, keep yourself away from anything evil.
10 If one of your men is unclean because of something that happened during the night, he must leave the camp and stay outside it.
11 Toward evening he is to wash himself with water, and at sunset he may return to the camp.
12 Set aside a place outside the camp to go out to as a latrine.
13 Among your equipment have a digging tool, and when you relieve yourself outside, dig a hole with it and then cover up your excrement.
14 For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to rescue you and to hand your enemies over to you. So your camp must be holy, so that he will not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.
15 If a slave has escaped from his master and taken refuge with you, do not hand him back to his master.
16 Let him live among you wherever he likes, in whichever of your towns he chooses. Do not mistreat him.
17 None of the daughters of Israel is to be a cult prostitute, and none of the sons of Israel is to be a cult prostitute.
18 Do not bring a prostitute's fee or the price of a dog into the house of the LORD your God to pay any vow, for the LORD your God detests them both.
19 Do not charge your brother interest, whether on money, food, or anything else that may earn interest.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything you set your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.
21 If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not delay in fulfilling it, for the LORD your God will certainly demand it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.
23 Be careful to do whatever has passed your lips, since you freely vowed it to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
24 When you enter your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat all the grapes you want, as many as will satisfy you, but do not put any in your basket.
25 When you enter your neighbor's field of standing grain, you may pick the heads with your hand, but do not put a sickle to your neighbor's grain.
