/Chapter 23

Deuteronomy

ESV

Chapter 23

1No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord. 2“No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation, none of his descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord. 3“An Ammonite or Moabite may not enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the Lord forever, 4because they did not meet you with food and with water on the way, when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5Nevertheless, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loved you. 6You shall not seek their peace or their prosperity all your days forever. 7“You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a sojourner in his land. 8The children of the third generation of them may enter the assembly of the Lord. 9“When you go out to war against your enemies, then keep yourself from every evil thing. 10“If any man among you becomes unclean by an emission in the night, then he shall go outside the camp. He shall not come inside the camp, 11but when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water, and as soon as the sun has set, he may come into the camp. 12“You shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out to it. 13And you shall have a trowel among your tools, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig a hole with it and turn back and cover up your excrement. 14Because the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you. 15“You shall not deliver a slave to his master when he has escaped from his master to you. 16He shall dwell with you, in your midst, in the place that he shall choose within one of your towns, wherever it suits him. You shall not wrong him. 17“None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, nor any of the sons of Israel be a cult prostitute. 18You shall not bring the fee of a prostitute or the wages of a dog into the house of the Lord your God in payment for any vow, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God. 19“You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest. 20You may charge a foreigner interest, but you may not charge your brother interest, that the Lord your God may bless you in all that you undertake in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 21“If you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay fulfilling it, for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin. 22But if you refrain from vowing, you will not be guilty of sin. 23You shall be careful to perform what has passed your lips, for you have voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God what you have promised with your mouth. 24“If you go into your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, as many as you wish, but you shall not put any in your bag. 25If you go into your neighbor's standing grain, you may pluck the ears with your hand, but you shall not put a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain.
