“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:”
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants even to the tenth generation shall ever be admitted to the assembly of the LORD — though both nations were kinfolk (descended from Lot), their hostility toward Israel at the exodus is remembered. The 'tenth generation' emphasizes an enduring (though not permanent) exclusion, distinguishing these from the gentile nations.
