Deu 23:3-5 | MHM | STEP | v. 3-6 : Ammonites and Moabites, descendants of Lot, were not allowed to join Israel’s congregation, even to the tenth generation (which means forever). This was because they did not help Israel with food and water during the journey from Egypt (Deuteronomy 23:4 ), and because the Moabites hired Balaam to curse Israel. Even though God turned the curse into a blessing (Deuteronomy 23:5 ), their actions were still counted as serious sins. God remembers both the good and the bad that people do to his people (Psalm 28:4 ).

‏ Deuteronomy 23:3-5

v. 3-6: Ammonites and Moabites, descendants of Lot, were not allowed to join Israel’s congregation, even to the tenth generation (which means forever). This was because they did not help Israel with food and water during the journey from Egypt (Deuteronomy 23:4 ^a), and because the Moabites hired Balaam to curse Israel. Even though God turned the curse into a blessing (Deuteronomy 23:5 ^b), their actions were still counted as serious sins. God remembers both the good and the bad that people do to his people (Psalm 28:4 ^c).
