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.
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] 3 After hearing that, they separated out all of the foreigners.
Deu 23:3-5:
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]
Num 22:1-6:
22 Then the Israelis set off for the Moav plains, and they camped there across the river from Yeriho (Jericho). 2 The Moabite King Balak (Tsipor’s son), saw everything that Yisrael had done to the Amorites, 3 and when he realised that the Israelis were very numerous, the Moabite people became sick with fear. 4 and they told the elders at Midyan, “Now all that lot will devour everything that’s around us, just like a cow completely cleans out a green field.”
Now Tsipor’s son Balak was Moav’s king at that time, 5 and he sent messengers to Beor’s son Bileam (Balaam) at Petor (which was their tribal land near the Euphrates river). He requested help, saying, “Listen, there’s a population here that came out from Egypt. Wow, they’ve covered the entire surface in this region and they’re living opposite me.[ref] 6 So now please come and curse this people group for me because they are more numerous than us, then perhaps I’ll be able to attack them and drive them out of the area, because I know that anyone you bless will be blessed, and those who you curse will be cursed.”
