Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - As Ammon and Moab had met the Israelites with hostility, and had brought Balaam to curse them, a curse had thereby been brought upon themselves, and they also were to be forever excluded from the congregation of Israel.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter. According to Rashi, "shall not marry an Israelitish woman." It must be remembered that the children, according to Jewish law, follow the father, not the mother. The case of Ruth would not, therefore, be touched by this precept.
