Deuteronomy 23:7 Context
5Neuerthelesse, the Lord thy God would not hearken vnto Balaam: but the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing vnto thee, because the Lord thy God loued thee. 6Thou shalt not seek their peace, nor their prosperity all thy dayes for euer. 7¶ Thou shalt not abhorre an Edomite, for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhorre an Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land. 8The children that are begotten of them, shal enter into the cōgregation of the Lord, in their third generation. 9¶ When the hoste goeth foorth against thine enemies, then keepe thee from euery wicked thing.
