1 Dans ce temps, on lut en présence du peuple dans le livre de Moïse, et l’on y trouva écrit que l’Ammonite et le Moabite ne devraient jamais entrer dans l’assemblée de Dieu,

2 parce qu’ils n’étaient pas venus au-devant des enfants d’Israël avec du pain et de l’eau, et parce qu’ils avaient appelé contre eux à prix d’argent Balaam pour qu’il les maudît; mais notre Dieu changea la malédiction en bénédiction.

3 Lorsqu’on eut entendu la loi, on sépara d’Israël tous les étrangers.
