Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Ammonite: These nations were subjected for their impiety, wickedness, and enmity to Israel - Deuteronomy 23:4, and Deuteronomy 23:5, to peculiar disgrace; and on this account were not permitted to hold any office among the Israelites. This did not, however, disqualify them from becoming proselytes; for Ruth, who was a Moabitess, was married to Boaz, and became one of the progenitors of our Lord. Ruth 4:6, Ruth 4:10-22, Nehemiah 4:3, Nehemiah 4:7, Nehemiah 13:1, Nehemiah 13:2, Nehemiah 13:23, Isaiah 56:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord,.... Or marry an Israelitish woman, as Jarchi, and so the Targum of Jonathan,
"the male Ammonites and Moabites are not fit to take a wife of the congregation of the Lord;''
for the Jews restrain this to men, because it is, as Aben Ezra observes, an Ammonite, not an Ammonitess, a Moabite, not a Moabitess; they allow that females of those nations might be married to Israelites, that is, provided they were proselytesses, as Ruth was m:
even to their tenth generation, shall they not enter into the congregation of the Lord for ever; that is, not only to the tenth generation, but for ever; and this law was understood as in force in Nehemiah's time, which was more than ten generations from the making of it; though now, as these nations are no more a distinct people, they suppose it is no longer binding n.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This law forbids only the naturalization of those against whom it is directed. It does not forbid their dwelling in the land; and seems to refer rather to the nations than to individuals. It was not understood at any rate to interdict marriage with a Moabitess; compare Ruth 1:4; Ruth 4:13. Ruth however, and her sister were doubtless proselytes.
Deuteronomy 23:4
Compare the marginal reference. The Moabites and the Ammonites are to be regarded as clans of the same stock rather than as two independent nations, and as acting together. Compare 2 Chronicles 20:1.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 23:3. An Ammonite or Moabite — These nations were subjected for their impiety and wickedness, (see Deuteronomy 23:4; Deuteronomy 23:5), to peculiar disgrace, and on this account were not permitted to hold any office among the Israelites. But this did not disqualify them from being proselytes: Ruth, who was a Moabitess, was married to Boaz, and she became one of the progenitors of our Lord.
Even to their tenth generation — That is, for ever, as the next clause explains; see Nehemiah 13:1.
