Deuteronomy
Chapter 23
1
He that is wounded/crushed in the stones,
or
has his privy member cut off,
shall
not enter into the congregation of Jehovah/God.
2
A bastard shall not enter
into
the congregation of Jehovah/God;
even
to his tenth generation
shall
he not enter into the congregation of Jehovah/God.
3
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter
into
the congregation of Jehovah/God;
even
to their tenth generation
shall
they not enter into
the
congregation of Jehovah/God forever.
4
Because they met you not with bread
and
with water in the way,
when
you came forth out of Egypt;
and
because they hired against you
Balaam,
the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia,
to
curse you.
5
Nevertheless Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
would
not 'hear, listen and obey' {shama'}
unto
Balaam; but Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
turned
the curse into a blessing unto you,
because
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead loved you.
6
You shall not seek their peace nor 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 stranger in his land.
8
The children that are begotten of them
shall
enter into the congregation of Jehovah/God
in
their third generation.
9
When the host goes forth against your enemies,
then
guard/keep you from every wicked thing.
10
If there be among you any man,
who
is not clean by reason of uncleanness
that
chances him by night,
then
shall he go abroad out of the camp,
he
shall not come within the camp.
11
But it shall be, when evening cometh on,
he
shall wash himself with water.
And
when the sun is down,
he
shall come into the camp again.
12
You shall have a place also without the camp,
where
you shall go forth abroad.
13
And you shall have a paddle upon your weapon;
and
it shall be, when you wilt ease yourself abroad,
you
shall dig therewith,
and
shall turn back and cover that which comes from you.
14
For Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
walked
in the midst of your camp,
to
deliver you,
and
to give up your enemies before you;
therefore
shall your camp be holy . . .
that
He see no unclean thing in you,
and
turn away from you.
15
You shall not deliver unto his master
the
servant who is escaped from his master unto you.
16
He shall dwell with you, even among you,
in
that place which he shall choose in one of your gates,
where
it likes him best.
You
shall not oppress him.
{Ties
in with a reference to Jezebel in Revelation 2:20 and following}
17~~None
of the daughters of Israel
shall
be cult prostitutes
{religious prostitute - a priestess in the Phallic cult}
nor
shall any of the sons of Israel be cult prostitutes
{a priest in the Phallic Cult}.
18~~You
shall not bring the hire of a temple prostitute
or
the wages of a dog
{male prostitute in homosexual activity}
into
the house of Jehovah/God your Elohiym/God
for
a votive offering
{an offering used to fulfill a vow}.
For
both these are abominations
to
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/God.
19
You shall not lend upon usury to your brother;
usury
of money, usury of victuals,
usury
of any thing that is lent upon usury.
20
Unto a stranger you may lend upon usury;
but
unto your brother you shall not lend upon usury . . .
that
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
may
bless you in all that you set your hand to
in
the land where you go to possess it.
21
When you shall vow a vow
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
you
shall not slack to pay it.
For
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
will
surely require it of you;
and
it would be sin in you.
22
But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.
23
That which is gone out of your lips
you
shall guard/keep and perform;
even
a freewill offering,
according
as you have vowed
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
which
you have promised with your mouth.
24
When you come into your neighbor's vineyard,
then
you may eat grapes your fill at your own pleasure;
but
you shall not put any in your vessel.
25
When you come into the standing corn of your neighbor,
then
you may pluck the ears with your hand;
but
you shall not move a sickle
unto
your neighbor's standing corn.
