Deuteronomy 23

what I remember:
Eunichs and Moabites and Ammonites (oh my!) are not welcome in the temple (tabernacle?).  The Moabites and Ammonites treated Israel bad.  Israel is instructed to keep peace wiht Edom and Egypt - they are related (Edom), or hosted Israel for a long time (Egypt).
Cleanliness instruction:  Use the bathroom outside camp and bury your waist. 
Don't send runaway slaves back to their owners nor mistreat them.

key verse:
You shall not give back to his master the slave who has escaped from his master to you.

about God:
God is concerned about their health (hygene), and about how they treat other people - even slaves.
