AMMONITES, Excluded from the congregation of Israel

Deuteronomy 23:3-6

3. An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into The LORD's assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into The LORD's assembly forever;
4. because they didn't meet you with bread and with water on the way, when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
5. Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn't listen to Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6. You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
