Nehemiah 13:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version
Enforcing the Terms of the Covenant
13 On that day, when the Book of Moses was being read in the hearing of the people, it was found written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite may ever come into the assembled congregation of God, 2 because they had not met the Israelites with food and water but had hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God had turned the curse into a blessing. 3 As the people heard the Law, they separated everyone of mixed foreign descent from Israel.
