3
"An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord forever,

because they did not meet you with bread and water on the road when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you

6

"When the army goes out against your enemies, then keep yourself from every wicked thing.
10
If there is any man among you who becomes unclean by some occurrence in the night, then he shall go outside the camp; he shall not come inside the camp.
11
But it shall be, when evening comes, that he shall wash with water; and when the sun sets, he may come into the camp.
12
Also you shall have a place outside the camp, where you may go out;
13
and you shall have an implement among your equipment, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and turn and cover your refuse.
14
For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that He may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you
15
"You shall not give back to his master the slave who has escaped from his master to you.
16
He may dwell with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within one of your gates, where it seems best to him; you shall not oppress him.
17
"There shall be no ritual harlot of the daughters of Israel, or a perverted one of the sons of Israel.
