3 No Ammonite or Moabite (from father: what father?) or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD {YHWH}, even to the tenth generation. 4 For they did not meet you⁺ with food and water on your⁺ way out of Egypt (land of bondage), and they hired Balaam (not of the people) son of Beor (burning) from Pethor (soothsayer) in Aram-naharaim (Aram of the two rivers) to curse you. 5 Yet the LORD your God {YHWH Eloheka} would not listen to Balaam (not of the people), and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you. 6 You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live. 7 Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian (double straits), because you lived as a foreigner in his land. 8 The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD {YHWH}.
