Deuteronomy 23:3-6
Lexham English Bible

3 An Ammonite or a Moabite may not come into the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants[a] may come into the assembly of Yahweh forever,[b] 4 because[c] they did not come to meet you with food and with water when you came out of Egypt,[d] and also because[e] they[f] hired Balaam, son of Beor, from Pethor, in Aram Naharaim[g] to act against you to curse you. 5 But Yahweh your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, and Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because Yahweh your God loved you. 6 You shall not promote their welfare or their prosperity all your days forever.[h]

Deuteronomy 23:3-6
New International Version

3 No Ammonite(A) or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.(B) 4 For they did not come to meet you with bread and water(C) on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam(D) son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim[a](E) to pronounce a curse on you.(F) 5 However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse(G) into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves(H) you. 6 Do not seek a treaty(I) of friendship with them as long as you live.(J)
