Nehemiah 13:1-3

Foreigners Excluded

1 On that day 1they read aloud from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and there was found written in it that 2no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God,
2 because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, but 3hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, 4our God turned the curse into a blessing.
3 So when they heard the law, 5they excluded 6all foreigners from Israel.
