Deuteronomy 23:3 (King James Version)
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
- Ammonite
- These nations were subjected for their impiety, wickedness, and enmity to Israel, (ver. 4, 5,) to peculiar disgrace; and on this account were not permitted to hold any office among the Israelites. This did not, however, disqualify them from becoming proselytes; for Ruth, who was a Moabitess, was married to Boaz, and became one of the progenitors of our Lord.
- Ruth 4:6 Ruth 4:10-22 ; Nehemiah 4:3 Nehemiah 4:7 ; Nehemiah 13:1 Nehemiah 13:2 Nehemiah 13:23 Isaiah 56:3
