Deuteronomy 23:4-12 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

4. because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way, when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.

5. Nevertheless the Lord your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam; but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the Lord your God 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 lived as a foreigner in his land.

8. The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the Lord’s assembly.

9. When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.

10. If there is amongst you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;

11. but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.

12. You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
