1 He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly. 2 A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into Yahweh’s assembly. 3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into Yahweh’s assembly forever, 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 Yahweh your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because Yahweh 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 Yahweh’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 among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to 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. 13 You shall have a trowel among your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement; 14 for Yahweh your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.

15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you. 16 He shall dwell with you, among you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.

17 There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel. 18 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to Yahweh your God.

19 You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest. 20 You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.

21 When you vow a vow to Yahweh your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for Yahweh your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you. 22 But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you. 23 You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to Yahweh your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do. 24 When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container. 25 When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.

1 "睾丸受伤的, 或生殖器被割除的, 不可进耶和华的会。(本节在《马索拉抄本》为23:2)

2 私生子不可进耶和华的会; 他的后代直到第十代, 也不可进耶和华的会。

3 亚扪人或摩押人不可进耶和华的会; 他们的后代直到第十代, 也永远不可进耶和华的会。

4 因为你们出埃及的时候, 他们没有拿食物和水在路上迎接你们, 又因为他们从两河之间的亚兰的毗夺雇了比珥的儿子巴兰, 来攻击你, 咒诅你。

5 但耶和华你的 神不愿听从巴兰; 耶和华你的 神使咒诅的话变为你的祝福, 因为耶和华你的 神爱你。

6 你一生一世永不可寻求他们的平安和他们的福乐。

7 "你不可厌恶以东人, 因为他是你的兄弟; 不可厌恶埃及人, 因为你在他的地上作过寄居的。

8 他们所生的子孙到了第三代, 就可以进耶和华的会。

9 "你出兵安营攻打仇敌的时候, 要谨守自己, 远避一切恶事。

10 "如果你们中间有人因为夜间偶然梦遗而不洁净, 就要出到营外去, 不可进入营中。

11 到了黄昏的时候, 他要用水洗澡; 日落了, 他才可以进入营中。

12 你在营外要有厕所, 你可以出到那里去便溺。

13 在你的器械中, 要有一把锹; 你在外面便溺以后, 可以用来铲土, 转身把粪便掩盖。

14 因为耶和华你的 神常在你的营中行走, 要拯救你, 要把你的仇敌交在你的面前; 所以你的营要圣洁, 免得他看见你那里有污秽的东西, 就离开你。

15 "如果一个奴仆离开了他的主人, 逃到你那里来, 你不可把他送交他的主人。

16 他要在你中间和你同住, 住在他自己选择的地方, 住在他喜欢的城市, 你不可欺负他。

17 "以色列的女子中不可有庙妓, 以色列的男子中不可有男庙妓。

18 妓女所得的酬金, 或男妓所得的代价, 你不可带入耶和华你的 神的殿里还任何的愿, 因为这两样都是耶和华你的 神厌恶的。

19 你借给你兄弟的银钱、食物, 或是任何可以生利的东西, 都不可取利。

20 借给外族人, 你倒可以取利; 只是借给你的兄弟, 你就不可取利; 好使耶和华你的 神, 在你要去得为业的地上, 和你手里所办的一切事上, 赐福给你。

21 "如果你向耶和华你的 神许了愿, 就不可迟延还愿, 因为耶和华你的 神必向你追讨, 那时你就有罪了。

22 如果你不许愿, 你倒没有罪。

23 你嘴里说出来的, 你要谨守; 你亲口应许的甘心祭, 就是你向耶和华你的 神许的愿, 你要实行。

24 "你进了你邻舍的葡萄园, 你可以随意吃饱葡萄, 只是不可装在你的器皿里。

25 你进了你邻舍的麦田, 你可以用手摘麦穗, 只是不可在你邻舍的麦田里挥动镰刀。"
