Deuteronomy 23:3
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, even to the tenth generation.
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:
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the Lord’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the Lord’s assembly forever,
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of Jehovah for ever:
