This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
23:1 Excluded people
23 No man with crushed testicles or a severed penis is allowed to enter into Yahweh’s assembly.
2 No illegitimate child[fn] is allowed to enter into Yahweh’s assembly, even down to the tenth generation.
3 No Ammonite or Moabite is allowed to enter into Yahweh’s assembly, even down past the tenth generation[ref] 4 since they wouldn’t even sell you bread and water when the people were travelling from Egypt to Canaan. What’s more, they hired Beor’s son Bil’am (Balaam) (from Petor in Aram-Naharayim) to curse you 5 However, your god Yahweh took no notice of Bil’am and turned the curse into a blessing because he loves you,[ref] 6 so you must never strive for peace or prosperity for the Ammonites or the Moabites.
7 In contrast, don’t despise the Edomites because they’re your cousins (descendants of your ancestor Yitshak). And don’t despise the Egyptians, because you lived there as foreigners. 8 The third generation (grandchildren) of any of Edomites or Egyptians that live among you, may enter Yahweh’s assembly.
23:2 Or possibly, child from mixed parentage.
Neh 13:1-2:
13 That day, the Mosheh scroll was read out aloud to the people, and it was discovered that it had been written that no Ammonite or Moabite is ever allowed to join the congregation[ref] 2 because instead of helping the travelling Israelis with food and water, they had hired Bil’am (Balaam) to curse them (even though God had turned that curse into blessing).[ref]

16 Yahweh met with Bileam and gave him a message and told him, “Go back to Balak, and give him that message.” 17 So he returned to him where he was standing with the leaders from Moab beside the altar, and Balak asked him, “What did Yahweh say?”
18 Then Bileam gave his speech,
“Look here, Balak, and listen.
≈Pay attention to me, son of Tsipor.
19 God doesn’t lie because he’s not a human being,
≈and he’s not a mortal who might change his mind.
Whatever he’s said, he’ll do it.
≈Anything he promised, he’ll make it happen.
20 Listen, I’ve received a command to bless.
≈Yes, he’s decided to bless and I can’t reverse it.
