**Deuteronomy 23:2 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<2> Those born of an illicit union shall not be admitted to the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of their descendants shall be admitted to the assembly of the Lord. ```

Old covenant

Sins of the father

Yeah it conflicts because it no longer applies

Deuteronomy 23:1-15

**Deuteronomy 23:1-15 - English Standard Version (ESV)**

```Dust
Those Excluded from the Assembly / Uncleanness in the Camp / Miscellaneous Laws

<1> "No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord. <2> "No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of his descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord. <3> "No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the Lord forever, <4> because they did not 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> But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; instead the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loved you. <6> You shall not seek their peace or their prosperity all your days forever. <7> "You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a sojourner in his land.```

```Dust
<8> Children born to them in the third generation may enter the assembly of the Lord. <9> "When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every evil thing. <10> "If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, then he shall go outside the camp. He shall not come inside the camp, <11> but when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water, and as the sun sets, he may come inside the camp. <12> "You shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out to it. <13> And you shall have a trowel with your tools, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig a hole with it and turn back and cover up your excrement. <14> Because the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you. <15> "You shall not give up to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you. ```

Yeah that was specifically a civil law given to the tribe of Israel

I just like having the surrounding context lmao

Overall, when someone is righteous are blessed, which is what we can see constantly in the history of Israel: many rulers, who embrace degeneracy and idolatry are then followed by heirs who are righteous

Love the Lord, follow his precepts, and you will be blessed, with regards mainly to the eternal life, not the temporary one

Don't you just hate it when evil strikes you just where you can fall? The very seemingly dumb things can really cause great temptation

Corinthians 11:4

1 Corinthians 11:4

**1 Corinthians 11:4 - English Standard Version (ESV)**

```Dust


<4> Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, ```

2 Corinthians 11:4

**2 Corinthians 11:4 - English Standard Version (ESV)**

```Dust


<4> For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. ```

Days of small brain are over.
