Deuteronomy - 23:1 Meaning
“He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
23:1-8 We ought to value the privileges of God's people, both for ourselves and for our children, above all other advantages. No personal blemishes, no crimes of our forefathers, no difference of nation, shuts us out under the Christian dispensation. But an unsound heart will deprive us of blessings; and a bad example, or an unsuitable marriage, may shut our children from them.
“Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.”
