[The Pentateuch]

¶ The .xxiij. Chapter

None that is gelded or hath his privy members cut of, shall come in to the congregation of the Lord. And he that is borne of a common woman shall not come in the congregation of the Lord, no in the tenth generation he shall not enter in to the congregation of the Lord. The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not come in to the congregation of the Lord, no not in the tenth generation, no they shall never come in to the congregation of the Lord, because they met you not with bred and water in the way when ye came out of Egypt, and because they hired against the Balaam the son of Beor the interpreter of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. Never thelesse the Lord thy God would not hearken unto Balaam, but turned the curse to a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God loved thee. Thou shalt never therefore seek that which is prosperous or good for them all thy days for ever.

NOne that is gelded or hath his preuey membres cutt of, shall come in to the congregacion of the Lorde. And he that is borne of a comen woman shall not come inthe congregacion of the Lorde, no in the tenth generacyon he shall not entre in to the congregacyon of the Lorde. The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not come in to the cō gregacyon of the Lorde, no not in the tenth generacion, no they shall neuer come in to the cō gregacion of the Lorde, because they met you not with bred and water in the waye when ye came out of Egipte, and because they hyred agenst the Balaam the sonne of Beor the interpreter of Mesopotamia, to curse the. Neuer thelesse the Lorde thy God wolde not herken vnto Balaam, but turned the curse to a blessinge vnto the, because the Lorde thy God loued the. Thou shalt neuer therfore seke that which is prosperouse or good for them all thy dayes for euer.
