Nehemiah 13:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

13 And on that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people: and therein was found written, that the Ammonites and the Moabites should not come in to the church of God for ever:

² Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and water: and they hired against them Balaam, to curse them, and our God turned the curse into blessing.

³ And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated every stranger from Israel.
