- Deuteronomy 23:3
- An Ammonite or Moabite
shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth
generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for
ever.
- Nehemiah 13:1
- On that day they read in the
book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that
the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for
ever.

- Ruth 1:4
- And they took them wives
of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of
the other Ruth.
- Ruth 4:13,17
- So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her
conception, and she bare a son. ... and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse,
the father of David.
(David was the great-grandson of Ruth, a Moabite woman. Yet he was the king of Israel, the highest ranking member of "the congregation of the Lord.")
