Deuteronomy 23

⁵ Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.

⁶ You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.

⁸ The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.
