In quello stesso giorno, Yehuda, un convertito di ammoniti, si presentò e si fermò davanti a loro nel Beit Midrash e disse loro: "Qual è il mio status riguardo al fatto che posso entrare [tramite il matrimonio] nella congregazione [di Israele]? " Rabban Gamliel gli disse: "Sei proibito". Il rabbino Yehoshua gli disse: "Ti è permesso". Rabban Gamliel gli disse: "Il verso dice: (Deuteronomio 23: 4)" Un ammonita e un moavita non possono entrare nella congregazione del Signore, neppure alla decima generazione "e così via". Il rabbino Yehoshua gli disse: "E gli ammoniti o i moaviti stanno ancora [abitando] al loro posto? Sancheriv, re di Assiria, sorse e mescolò già tutte le nazioni, come dice il verso, (Isaia 10:13) 'Ho rimosso i confini delle nazioni e io ho saccheggiato i loro tesori e come un grande guerriero ha abbattuto gli abitanti. "" Rabban Gamliel gli disse: "Il verso [anche] afferma, (Geremia 49: 6)" E dopo restituire i prigionieri dei figli di Ammon, "e sono già tornati". Il rabbino Yehoshua gli disse: "Il verso [anche] afferma, (Amos 9:14) 'E io restituirò i prigionieri della mia nazione Israele,' [e Giuda], e non sono ancora tornati". Loro [i Saggi, successivamente] gli permisero [il convertito di ammoniti] di entrare nella congregazione.
Jerusalem Talmud Yevamot
“If they are unable to marry in Israel they disable.” These are: “A child of nine years and one day, an Ammonite, Moabite, or Egyptian proselyte, or a bastard, desecrated, Gibeonite, Samaritan, and Gentile who had intercourse with the daughter of an Israel, a Cohen, or a Levite, disqualified her for the priesthood. Rebbi Yose said, everybody’s intercourse disqualifies whose descendant would be disqualified; his intercourse does not disqualify those whose descendant would not be disqualified. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, in all cases, if his daughter is permitted to you, so is his widow; if his daughter is not permitted to you, neither is his widow.” In what do they differ? Rebbi Joḥanan says, an Ammonite or Moabite proselyte is between them. For him who says, everybody’s intercourse disqualifies whose descendant would be disqualified, here since his descendant would be disqualified, his intercourse disqualifies. For him who says, if you may marry his daughter you may marry his widow, here since you may marry his daughter you may marry his widow. The words of the Sages? Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of [the rabbis], Rebbi Abba, both say: Regarding the daughter of an Ammonite or Moabite proselyte or the daughter of a second-generation Egyptian, even though his daughter is permitted to you, his widow is forbidden to you. Rebbi Zakkai: Rebbi Alexander sent to ask [about] the daughter of an Ammonite proselyte and the daughter of a second-generation Egyptian. Rebbi Yose said to him, did you not hear that Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of the rabbis, Rebbi Abba, both say: Regarding the daughter of an Ammonite proselyte or the daughter of a second-generation Egyptian, even though his daughter is permitted to you, his widow is forbidden to you. And everybody’s intercourse disqualifies whose descendant would be disqualified. Do we not need it when her mother was from Israel? That you should not say that since her mother was desecrated so her daughter was desecrated. In addition, Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish disagreed, the daughter of an Ammonite proselyte or the daughter of a second-generation Egyptian, Rebbi Joḥanan said, they are acceptable, Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, they are disqualified. Rebbi Yose ben Abun said, they disagree about the old women: Rebbi Joḥanan said, they are acceptable, Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, they are disqualified.
