Es soll auch kein Hurenkind in die Gemeinde des HERRN kommen, auch nach dem zehnten Glied, sondern soll allewege nicht in die Gemeinde des HERRN kommen.
No entrará Ammonita ni Moabita en la congregación de Jehová; ni aun en la décima generación entrará en la congregación de Jehová para siempre:
L'Ammonite et le Moabite n'entreront point dans l'assemblée de l'Eternel, même à la dixième génération et à perpétuité,
L’Ammonita, nè il Moabita, non entri nella raunanza del Signore; niuno dei lor discendenti in perpetuo, fino alla decima generazione, entri nella raunanza del Signore.
Nenhum amonita nem moabita entrará na congregação do SENHOR; nem ainda a sua décima geração entrará na congregação do SENHOR eternamente.
「 亞捫 人或 摩押 人不可入耶和華的會;甚至到第十代,也永不可入耶和華的會。
