Deuteronomy 23:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

^5 (4) because they did not supply you with food and water when you were on the road after leaving Egypt, and because they hired Bil‘am the son of B‘or from P’tor in Aram-Naharayim to put a curse on you. ^6 (5) But Adonai your God would not listen to Bil‘am; rather, Adonai your God turned the curse into a blessing for you; because Adonai your God loved you. ^7 (6) So you are never to seek their peace or well being, as long as you live.
