Deuteronomy 23:2-4

The Voice

² No one born from an illegal or incestuous union may come and worship the Eternal. This prohibition stays in effect for 10 generations. ³ No Ammonite or Moabite may join the Israelite community and come and worship the Eternal. This prohibition stays in effect for 10 generations. ⁴ This is because they wouldn’t give you any food or water when you came out of Egypt and because they hired someone to curse you instead—Balaam (Beor’s son) from Pethor in northwest Mesopotamia.^[a]
