DEU 23:1–23:25 ©

The Book of Deuteronomy 23

23No man with crushed testicles or a severed penis may worship with Yahweh’s people.

2No child of an Israelite father and a non-Israelite mother or his descendants, extending to the tenth generation, may worship with Yahweh’s people.

3No Ammonites or Moabites may worship with Yahweh’s people, extending to the tenth generation. 4One reason for this is that their leaders refused to give you food and water when they were traveling from the nation of Egypt to the region of Canaan. Another reason is that they paid Balaam son of Beor from the town of Pethor in the region of Mesopotamia to curse you Israelites. 5But Yahweh our God did not pay attention to Balaam; instead, he caused Balaam to bless you rather than curse you, because Yahweh our God loves you. 6As long as Israel is a nation, you must not do anything to cause things to go well for those two people groups to enable them to prosper.

7But do not despise any Edomites, because they are descendants of your ancestor Isaac, just like you are. And do not despise people from Egypt, because they treated your ancestors well when they first lived in Egypt. 8The grandchildren of people from Edom and Egypt who live among you now may worship with Yahweh’s people.

9When your fighting men are living in camp in time of war, they must avoid doing things that would make them unacceptable to God. 10If any soldier becomes unacceptable to God because semen comes out of his body during the night, the next morning he must go outside the camp and stay there during that day. 11But in the evening of that day he must bathe, and at sunset he will be allowed to come back into the camp.

12Your fighting men must have a toilet area outside the camp where you can go when you need to. 13When you go to fight against your enemies, carry something to dig with along with your weapons, in order that when you need to defecate, you can dig a hole, and then cover up the hole when you have finished defecating in it. 14You must keep the camp acceptable to Yahweh our God, because he is with you in your camp to protect you and to enable you to defeat your enemies. Do not do anything disgraceful that would cause Yahweh to abandon you.

15If slaves who escape from their masters come to you and request you to protect them, do not send them back to their masters. 16Allow them to stay among you, in whatever town they choose because they like it, and do not mistreat them.

17Do not allow any Israelite man or woman to become religious prostitutes. 18Also, do not allow any woman who earned money from being a prostitute or any man who earned money being a homosexual prostitute to bring any of that money into the temple of Yahweh our God, even if they solemnly promised to pay that money to him. Both of these sexual practices are disgusting to Yahweh our God.

19When you lend money or food or anything else to a fellow Israelite, do not charge them interest. 20You are allowed to charge interest when you lend money to foreigners, but not when you lend money to Israelites. Do this in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.

21When you solemnly promise to give something to Yahweh your God or to do something for him, do not delay in doing it. Yahweh expects you to do what you promised, and if you do not do it, you will be sinning. 22But it is not sinful not to solemnly promise things to Yahweh. 23But if you voluntarily promise to do something for Yahweh our God, you must surely do it.

24When you walk through someone else’s vineyard, you are allowed to pick and eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not put any in a container and take them away. 25When you walk along a path in someone else’s field of grain, you are allowed to pluck some of the grain by hand and eat it, but you must not cut any of his grain with a sickle.
