They found 2 written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite may ever enter the assembly of God, 13:2 for they had not met the Israelites with food 3 and water, but instead had hired Balaam to curse them. (Our God, however, turned the curse into blessing.)
13:23 Also in those days I saw the men of Judah who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
