Do not let a son of a foreigner who has joined himself to Adonai[a] say,
Adonai will surely exclude me from His people.”
Nor let the eunuch say,
    ‘Behold, I am a dry tree.’”
For thus says Adonai,
“To the eunuchs who keep My Shabbatot,
    who choose what pleases Me,
    and hold fast My covenant:
I will give to them in My House and within My walls
    a memorial and a name[b]
    better than sons and daughters.
I will give them an everlasting name
    that will not be cut off.
