Exegesis
The imperfect yā-vō {יָבֹא | yā-vō} expresses permission (‘may enter’), leading into bi-qā-hal {בִּקְהַל | bi-qā-hal} ‘into the assembly’ and concluding with yə-hō-wāh {יְהוָה | yə-hō-wāh} ‘LORD,’ designating divine ownership of the covenant gathering. This word order foregrounds familial eligibility before communal worship under divine authority.
In context — Deuteronomy 23:8
Children who are born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD in the third generation.
