Deuteronomy 23

Deuteronomy 23 specifies exclusions from YHWH's assembly (e.g., those with crushed testicles, Ammonites, Moabites); rules for military camps, escaped slaves, prohibiting Israelite whores or sodomites, and rejecting harlot or dog hire for vows; and lending practices distinguishing brothers from foreigners.[1]
