1 Who may not enter into the congregation. 9 Uncleanness to be avoided in the host. 15 Of the fugitive servant. 17 Of filthiness. 18 Of abominable sacrifices. 19 Of usury. 21 Of vows. 24 Of trespasses.

 23:1 ¶ He that is wounded in the stones, 6481 1795 z8803 or hath his privy member 8212 cut off, 3772 z8803 shall not x3808 enter 935 z8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD. 3068

 23:2 A bastard 4464 shall not x3808 enter 935 z8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD; 3068 even x1571 to his tenth 6224 generation 1755 shall he not x3808 enter 935 z8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD. 3068

 23:3 An Ammonite 5984 or Moabite 4125 shall not x3808 enter 935 z8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD; 3068 even x1571 to their tenth 6224 generation 1755 shall they not x3808 enter 935 z8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068 forever: 5769 5704

 23:4 Because 1697 x5921 they x834 met 6923 z8765 you not x3808 with bread 3899 and with water 4325 in the way, 1870 when ye came forth 3318 z8800 out of Egypt; 4714 x4480 and because x834 they hired 7936 z8804 against x5921 thee x853 Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 of Pethor 6604 x4480 of Mesopotamia, 763 to curse 7043 z8763 thee.

 23:5 Nevertheless the LORD 3068 thy God 430 would 14 z8804 not x3808 hearken 8085 z8800 unto x413 Balaam; 1109 but the LORD 3068 thy God 430 turned 2015 z8799 x853 the curse 7045 into a blessing 1293 unto thee, because x3588 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 loved 157 z8804 thee.

 23:6 Thou shalt not x3808 seek 1875 z8799 their peace 7965 nor their prosperity 2896 all x3605 thy days 3117 forever. 5769

 23:7 ¶ Thou shalt not x3808 abhor 8581 z8762 an Edomite; 130 for x3588 he x1931 [is] thy brother: 251 thou shalt not x3808 abhor 8581 z8762 an Egyptian; 4713 because x3588 thou wast x1961 a stranger 1616 in his land. 776

 23:8 The children 1121 that x834 are begotten 3205 z8735 of them shall enter 935 z8799 into the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068 in their third 7992 generation. 1755

 23:9 ¶ When x3588 the host 4264 goeth forth 3318 z8799 against x5921 thine enemies, 341 z8802 then keep y8104 z8738 thee x8104 from every x4480 x3605 wicked 7451 thing. 1697

 23:10 ¶ If x3588 there be x1961 among you any man, 376 that x834 is x1961 not x3808 clean 2889 by reason of uncleanness that chanceth 7137 x4480 him by night, 3915 then shall he go y3318 z8804 abroad y2351 x3318 out of x413 x4480 x2351 the camp, 4264 he shall not x3808 come 935 z8799 within 8432 x413 the camp: 4264

 23:11 But it shall be, x1961 when evening 6153 cometh on, 6437 z8800 he shall wash 7364 z8799 [himself] with water: 4325 and when the sun 8121 is down, 935 z8800 he shall come 935 z8799 into 8432 x413 the camp 4264 [again].

 23:12 ¶ Thou shalt have x1961 a place x3027 also y3027 without 2351 x4480 the camp, 4264 whither x8033 thou shalt go forth 3318 z8804 abroad: 2351

 23:13 And thou shalt have x1961 a paddle 3489 upon x5921 thy weapon; 240 and it shall be, x1961 when thou wilt ease 3427 z8800 thyself abroad, 2351 thou shalt dig 2658 z8804 therewith, and shalt turn back 7725 z8804 and cover 3680 z8765 x853 that which cometh 6627 from thee:

 23:14 For x3588 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 walketh 1980 z8693 in the midst 7130 of thy camp, 4264 to deliver 5337 z8687 thee, and to give up 5414 z8800 thine enemies 341 z8802 before 6440 thee; therefore shall thy camp 4264 be x1961 holy: 6918 that he see 7200 z8799 no x3808 unclean 6172 thing 1697 in thee, and turn away 7725 z8804 from x4480 x310 thee. y310

 23:15 ¶ Thou shalt not x3808 deliver 5462 z8686 unto x413 his master 113 the servant 5650 which x834 is escaped 5337 z8735 from x4480 x5973 his master 113 unto x413 thee:

 23:16 He shall dwell 3427 z8799 with x5973 thee, [even] among 7130 you, in that place 4725 which x834 he shall choose 977 z8799 in one 259 of thy gates, 8179 where it liketh him best: 2896 thou shalt not x3808 oppress 3238 z8686 him.

 23:17 ¶ There shall be x1961 no x3808 whore 6948 of the daughters 1323 x4480 of Israel, 3478 nor x3808 a sodomite 6945 of the sons 1121 x4480 of Israel. 3478

 23:18 Thou shalt not x3808 bring 935 z8686 the hire 868 of a whore, 2181 z8802 or the price 4242 of a dog, 3611 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 thy God 430 for any x3605 vow: 5088 for x3588 even x1571 both 8147 these [are] abomination 8441 unto the LORD 3068 thy God. 430

 23:19 ¶ Thou shalt not x3808 lend upon usury 5391 z8686 to thy brother; 251 usury 5392 of money, 3701 usury 5392 of victuals, 400 usury 5392 of any x3605 thing 1697 that x834 is lent upon usury: 5391 z8799

 23:20 Unto a stranger 5237 thou mayest lend upon usury; 5391 z8686 but unto thy brother 251 thou shalt not x3808 lend upon usury: 5391 z8686 that x4616 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 may bless 1288 z8762 thee in all x3605 that thou settest 4916 thine hand 3027 to in x5921 the land 776 whither x834 x8033 thou x859 goest 935 z8802 to possess 3423 z8800 it.

 23:21 ¶ When x3588 thou shalt vow 5087 z8799 a vow 5088 unto the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 thou shalt not x3808 slack 309 z8762 to pay 7999 z8763 it: for x3588 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 will surely y1875 z8800 require 1875 z8799 it of x4480 x5973 thee; and it would be x1961 sin 2399 in thee.

 23:22 But if x3588 thou shalt forbear 2308 z8799 to vow, 5087 z8800 it shall be x1961 no x3808 sin 2399 in thee.

 23:23 That which is gone out 4161 of thy lips 8193 thou shalt keep 8104 z8799 and perform; 6213 z8804 [even] a freewill offering, 5071 according as x834 thou hast vowed 5087 z8804 unto the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 which x834 thou hast promised 1696 z8765 with thy mouth. 6310

 23:24 ¶ When x3588 thou comest 935 z8799 into thy neighbor's 7453 vineyard, 3754 then thou mayest eat 398 z8804 grapes 6025 thy fill 7648 at thine own pleasure; 5315 but thou shalt not x3808 put 5414 z8799 [any] in x413 thy vessel. 3627

 23:25 When x3588 thou comest 935 z8799 into the standing corn 7054 of thy neighbor, 7453 then thou mayest pluck 6998 z8804 the ears 4425 with thine hand; 3027 but thou shalt not x3808 move 5130 z8686 a sickle 2770 unto x5921 thy neighbor's 7453 standing corn. 7054
