23:1 He that is wounded in the stones 6481 8803 1795, or hath his privy member 8212 cut off 3772 8803, shall not enter 935 8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068.

23:2 A bastard 4464 shall not enter 935 8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068; even to his tenth 6224 generation 1755 shall he not enter 935 8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068.

23:3 An Ammonite 5984 or Moabite 4125 shall not enter 935 8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068; even to their tenth 6224 generation 1755 shall they not enter 935 8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068 for 5704 ever 5769:

23:4 Because 1697 they met 6923 8765 you not with bread 3899 and with water 4325 in the way 1870, when ye came forth 3318 8800 out of Egypt 4714; and because they hired 7936 8804 against thee Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 of Pethor 6604 of Mesopotamia 763, to curse 7043 8763 thee.

23:5 Nevertheless the LORD 3068 thy God 430 would 14 8804 not hearken 8085 8800 unto Balaam 1109; but the LORD 3068 thy God 430 turned 2015 8799 the curse 7045 into a blessing 1293 unto thee, because the LORD 3068 thy God 430 loved 157 8804 thee.

23:6 Thou shalt not seek 1875 8799 their peace 7965 nor their prosperity 2896 all thy days 3117 for ever 5769.(prosperity: Heb. good)

23:7 Thou shalt not abhor 8581 8762 an Edomite 130; for he [is] thy brother 251: thou shalt not abhor 8581 8762 an Egyptian 4713; because thou wast a stranger 1616 in his land 776.

23:8 The children 1121 that are begotten 3205 8735 of them shall enter 935 8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068 in their third 7992 generation 1755.

23:9 When the host 4264 goeth forth 3318 8799 against thine enemies 341 8802, then keep 8104 8738 thee from every wicked 7451 thing 1697.

23:10 If there be among you any man 376, that is not clean 2889 by reason of uncleanness that chanceth 7137 him by night 3915, then shall he go 3318 8804 abroad 2351 out of the camp 4264, he shall not come 935 8799 within 8432 the camp 4264:

23:11 But it shall be, when evening 6153 cometh on 6437 8800, he shall wash 7364 8799 [himself] with water 4325: and when the sun 8121 is down 935 8800, he shall come 935 8799 into 8432 the camp 4264 [again].(cometh…: Heb. turneth toward)

23:12 Thou shalt have a place also 3027 without 2351 the camp 4264, whither thou shalt go forth 3318 8804 abroad 2351:

23:13 And thou shalt have a paddle 3489 upon thy weapon 240; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease 3427 8800 thyself abroad 2351, thou shalt dig 2658 8804 therewith, and shalt turn back 7725 8804 and cover 3680 8765 that which cometh 6627 from thee:(wilt…: Heb. sittest down)

23:14 For the LORD 3068 thy God 430 walketh 1980 8693 in the midst 7130 of thy camp 4264, to deliver 5337 8687 thee, and to give up 5414 8800 thine enemies 341 8802 before 6440 thee; therefore shall thy camp 4264 be holy 6918: that he see 7200 8799 no unclean 6172 thing 1697 in thee, and turn away 7725 8804 from thee 310.(unclean…: Heb. nakedness of any thing)

23:15 Thou shalt not deliver 5462 8686 unto his master 113 the servant 5650 which is escaped 5337 8735 from his master 113 unto thee:

23:16 He shall dwell 3427 8799 with thee, [even] among 7130 you, in that place 4725 which he shall choose 977 8799 in one 259 of thy gates 8179, where it liketh him best 2896: thou shalt not oppress 3238 8686 him.(liketh…: Heb. is good for him)

23:17 There shall be no whore 6948 of the daughters 1323 of Israel 3478, nor a sodomite 6945 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.(whore: or, sodomitess)

23:18 Thou shalt not bring 935 8686 the hire 868 of a whore 2181 8802, or the price 4242 of a dog 3611, into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 thy God 430 for any vow 5088: for even both 8147 these [are] abomination 8441 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430.

23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury 5391 8686 to thy brother 251; usury 5392 of money 3701, usury 5392 of victuals 400, usury 5392 of any thing 1697 that is lent upon usury 5391 8799:

23:20 Unto a stranger 5237 thou mayest lend upon usury 5391 8686; but unto thy brother 251 thou shalt not lend upon usury 5391 8686: that the LORD 3068 thy God 430 may bless 1288 8762 thee in all that thou settest 4916 thine hand 3027 to in the land 776 whither thou goest 935 8802 to possess 3423 8800 it.

23:21 When thou shalt vow 5087 8799 a vow 5088 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430, thou shalt not slack 309 8762 to pay 7999 8763 it: for the LORD 3068 thy God 430 will surely 1875 8800 require 1875 8799 it of thee; and it would be sin 2399 in thee.

23:22 But if thou shalt forbear 2308 8799 to vow 5087 8800, it shall be no sin 2399 in thee.

23:23 That which is gone out 4161 of thy lips 8193 thou shalt keep 8104 8799 and perform 6213 8804; [even] a freewill offering 5071, according as thou hast vowed 5087 8804 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430, which thou hast promised 1696 8765 with thy mouth 6310.

23:24 When thou comest 935 8799 into thy neighbour's 7453 vineyard 3754, then thou mayest eat 398 8804 grapes 6025 thy fill 7648 at thine own pleasure 5315; but thou shalt not put 5414 8799 [any] in thy vessel 3627.

23:25 When thou comest 935 8799 into the standing corn 7054 of thy neighbour 7453, then thou mayest pluck 6998 8804 the ears 4425 with thine hand 3027; but thou shalt not move 5130 8686 a sickle 2770 unto thy neighbour's 7453 standing corn 7054.
