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 L’eunuco a cui sono state infrante o mutilate le parti, non entrerà nella raunanza dell’Eterno.
2 Il bastardo non entrerà nella raunanza dell’Eterno; nessuno de’ suoi, neppure alla decima generazione, entrerà nella raunanza dell’Eterno.
3 L’Ammonita e il Moabita non entreranno nella raunanza dell’Eterno; nessuno dei loro discendenti, neppure alla decima generazione, entrerà nella raunanza dell’Eterno;
4 non v’entreranno mai, perché non vi vennero incontro col pane e con l’acqua nel vostro viaggio, quand’usciste dall’Egitto, e perché salariarono a tuo danno, Balaam figliuolo di Beor, da Pethor in Mesopotamia, per maledirti
5 Ma l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, non volle ascoltar Balaam; ma l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, mutò per te la maledizione in benedizione, perché l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, ti ama.
