Es soll kein Zerstoßener noch Verschnittener in die Gemeinde des HERRN kommen.
No entrará bastardo en la congregación de Jehová: ni aun en la décima generación entrará en la congregación de Jehová.
Celui qui est issu d'une union illicite n'entrera point dans l'assemblée de l'Eternel; même sa dixième génération n'entrera point dans l'assemblée de l'Eternel.
Niuno nato di pubblica meretrice entri nella raunanza del Signore; niuno de’ suoi fino alla decima generazione, entri nella raunanza del Signore.
Nenhum bastardo entrará na congregação do SENHOR; nem ainda a sua décima geração entrará na congregação do SENHOR.
「私生子不可入耶和華的會;甚至到第十代,也不可入耶和華的會。
