Deuteronomio 23:3

Listen to Deuteronomio 23:3
3 Ningún amonita ni moabita entrará en la asamblea del SEÑOR; ninguno de sus descendientes, aun hasta la décima generación, entrará jamás en la asamblea del SEÑOR,

Deuteronomio 23:3 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 23:3

An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of
the Lord
Or marry an Israelitish woman, as Jarchi, and so the Targum of Jonathan,

``the male Ammonites and Moabites are not fit to take a wife of the congregation of the Lord;''

for the Jews restrain this to men, because it is, as Aben Ezra observes, an Ammonite, not an Ammonitess, a Moabite, not a Moabitess; they allow that females of those nations might be married to Israelites, that is, provided they were proselytesses, as Ruth was F13:

even to their tenth generation, shall they not enter into the
congregation of the Lord for ever;
that is, not only to the tenth generation, but for ever; and this law was understood as in force in Nehemiah's time, which was more than ten generations from the making of it; though now, as these nations are no more a distinct people, they suppose it is no longer binding F14.

Deuteronomio 23:3 In-Context

1 Ninguno que haya sido castrado o que tenga cortado su miembro viril entrará en la asamblea del SEÑOR.
2 Ningún bastardo entrará en la asamblea del SEÑOR, ninguno de sus descendientes, aun hasta la décima generación, entrará en la asamblea del SEÑOR.
3 Ningún amonita ni moabita entrará en la asamblea del SEÑOR; ninguno de sus descendientes, aun hasta la décima generación, entrará jamás en la asamblea del SEÑOR,
4 porque no fueron a vuestro encuentro con pan y agua en el camino cuando salisteis de Egipto, y porque alquilaron contra ti a Balaam, hijo de Beor, de Petor en Mesopotamia, para maldecirte
5 Mas el SEÑOR tu Dios no quiso escuchar a Balaam, sino que el SEÑOR tu Dios te cambió la maldición en bendición, porque el SEÑOR tu Dios te ama.
