Deuteronomy 23:2 in Context — Deuteronomy 23

1 Celui dont les testicules ont été écrasés ou l’urètre coupé n’entrera point dans l’assemblée de l’Éternel.

2 Celui qui est issu d’une union illicite n’entrera point dans l’assemblée de l’Éternel; même sa dixième génération n’entrera point dans l’assemblée de l’Éternel.

3 L’Ammonite et le Moabite n’entreront point dans l’assemblée de l’Éternel, même à la dixième génération et à perpétuité,

4 parce qu’ils ne sont pas venus au-devant de vous avec du pain et de l’eau, sur le chemin, lors de votre sortie d’Égypte, et parce qu’ils ont fait venir contre toi à prix d’argent Balaam, fils de Beor, de Pethor en Mésopotamie, pour qu’il te maudisse.
