DEUT1230 Do not refrain from marrying the third generation of an Edomite convert. Do not shun the descendants of Esav, for their subjugation of us, as the Egyptian enslavement, is a decree from Heaven. Therefore, we are forbidden to hate them for what they do to us. If they convert to our faith, we regard them as our brothers and eventually their descendants can marry as any other Jew. By contrast, the men of Amon and Moav are forever forbidden to marry Jewish women, for although they caused us suffering only once, their deed revealed the repulsive degree of inhumanity, as explained earlier [Deuteronomy 23:4 congregation CHINUCH 359-60].
