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 »No podrá entrar en la asamblea del SEÑOR ningún hombre que tenga magullados los testículos o mutilado el pene.
2 »No podrá entrar en la asamblea del SEÑOR quien haya nacido de una unión ilegítima; tampoco podrá hacerlo ninguno de sus descendientes, hasta la décima generación.
3 »No podrán entrar en la asamblea del SEÑOR los amonitas ni los moabitas, ni ninguno de sus descendientes, hasta la décima generación.
4 Porque no te ofrecieron pan y agua cuando cruzaste por su territorio, después de haber salido de Egipto. Además, emplearon a Balán hijo de Beor, originario de Petor en Aram Najarayin, para que te maldijera.
5 Sin embargo, por el amor que el SEÑOR tu Dios siente por ti, no quiso el SEÑOR escuchar a Balán, y cambió la maldición en bendición.
