1 Those who are crushed with yatra or have a childbirth member cut off can not enter the community of the Lord.
2 The son of a harlot can not enter the congregation of the Lord, and his tenth generation can not enter the community of the Lord.
3 The Ammonite and the Moabite can not enter into the congregation of the Lord, and the tenth generation of them can not enter the company of the Lord forever,
4 Because they did not meet you with bread and water in the way when you came from Egypt, and because they hired Balaam, the son of Beor, from Pethor of Mesopotamia to curse you;
5 But the LORD your God did not desire to listen to Balaam and the Lord your God turned his curse into a blessing to you, for the Lord your God loves you.
6th Do not wish them peace and prosperity all your days, forever.
7th Do not be disgraced by the Edomite, for he is your brother; Do not be disgraced by the Egyptian, for you were an alien in his land;
8 The children who are born with them can enter the community of the Lord in the third generation.

9 When you go on a campaign against your enemies, beware of all the bad.
10 If you have someone who is unclean from what happened at night, then he must go out of the camp and not enter the camp,
eleven And when evening comes, he must wash [his body] with water, and after the sun goes down he can enter the camp.
12 The place should be at your place outside the camp, wherever you go;
13 In addition to your weapon, you must have a scapula; And when thou shalt sit down outside [camp], dig it [pit] and again, with your stool;
14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to deliver up thine enemies [into thy hand], but [therefore] thine army shall be holy, lest he see what is shameful in thee, and depart from thee.

15 Do not give a slave to his lord when he comes running to you from his master;
16 Let him live with you, among you in a place that he will choose in one of your dwellings, where he will like; Do not oppress him.
17th There must not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, nor a fornicator of the children of Israel.
18 Do not bring the wages of the harlot and the price of the dog to the house of the Lord your God for any vow, for both are an abomination to the Lord your God.
19 Do not give up to your brother your silver, or bread, or anything else that you can give to growth;
20 You shall give a foreigner to growth, but do not give up your brother to growth, so that the Lord your God will bless you in everything that is done by your hands, on the land that you are going to take possession of.
21 If you give a vow to the Lord your God, immediately fulfill it, for the Lord your God will require it from you, and on you there will be sin;
22 If you did not give a vow, there will be no sin on you.
23 What came out of your mouth, observe and do as you promised to the Lord your God a voluntary offering, of which you spoke with your mouth.
24 When you enter into the vineyard of your neighbor, you can eat the berries of your fill, how much [your] soul wants, and do not put it in your vessel.
25 When you come to the harvest of your neighbor, tear the ears of your hands with your hands, but do not take the sickle to the harvest of your neighbor.
