     * shall not enter.
       It is evident that his law was not meant to exclude such
       Israelites either from the common benefits of civil society,
       or any essential religious advantages; but merely to lay them
       under a disgraceful distinction.  This would tend to
       discourage parents from thus treating their children; a
       practice which was exceedingly common in those ages and
       countries.  To this they were induced by the custom which
       prevailed, of employing such in the houses of the great and
       the courts of princes; so that they often rose to the highest
       posts of honour and authority.  Some expositors therefore
       consider the phrase, "shall not enter into the congregation of
       the Lord," as meaning, that they should be incapable of
       bearing any office in that government which was placed over
       the people of God, who must thus enter a protest against this
       custom, and deliver selfish parents from this temptation.
