Deuteronomy

Incest

No man shall take his father’s wife; let him not dishonor his father.

Law on the Purity of the Assembly

The man whose testicles are crushed and whose penis is cut shall not be admitted into the assembly of the Lord.

Nor shall the half-breed be admitted into the assembly of the Lord, even to the tenth generation.

The Ammonite or Moabite shall never be admitted into the assembly of the Lord, even after the tenth generation,

because when you came forth from Egypt, they did not go out to meet you with bread and water. Still, instead, they hired Balaam, the son of Beor, from Pethor in Mesopotamia, to curse you.

But the Lord, your God, did not listen to Balaam and turned the curse into a blessing because the Lord loves you.

You shall never share your prosperity or happiness with these people.

You shall not regard the Edomite as abominable, for he is your brother, or the Egyptian, because you were a pilgrim in his land.

From the third generation, their descendants can be admitted into the assembly of the Lord.

Law on the Purity of the Camp

When you set out against your enemies, you shall keep yourselves from every evil act.

If there is among you a man who is not clean because of nocturnal emission, he shall go and stay outside the camp.

When evening comes, he shall bathe himself; after sunset, he may enter the camp.

You shall have a place outside the camp for your natural needs.

You shall bring a stick with your equipment to dig a hole and cover the excrement with the soil unearthed.

Because the Lord, your God, walks in the camp to protect you and give your enemy into your hands; your camp must be sacred, that the Lord may not see anything indecent in it; otherwise, he will turn away from you.

Law Concerning Runaway Slaves

You shall not turn over to his master the slave who ran away from his house and sought refuge with you.

He shall stay with you among your household, in the place he chooses in one of your cities, where it seems best for him. You shall not oppress him.

Various Laws

There shall not be among the daughters of Israel a consecrated prostitute or a consecrated homosexual among the sons of Israel.

You shall not bring into the house of the Lord, your God, a gift for prostitutes, or the wages of a dog, that is, a homosexual, to pay for the vow that you have made, for both of these are abominable in the eyes of the Lord.

You shall not lend with interest to your brothers in money, food, or anything else.

You can lend with interest to a foreigner, but not to your brother, so that the Lord, your God, may bless you in all your undertakings in the land you are to possess.

If you make any vow to the Lord, you shall not be late in fulfilling it, for the Lord will indeed require it of you, and it would be charged as a sin against you.

If you abstain from making vows, you do not commit any sin.

Fulfill your promises, and if you make any vow, you shall offer what you have promised to the Lord.

If you go through your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you wish, but you may not bring any away.

If you pass through the wheat fields of your neighbor, you may pluck the ears with your hand, but you shall not put a sickle to your neighbor’s standing wheat.
