Bastard:
�A person of illegitimate birth. The term may refer to the offspring of incest. Such a person was not allowed to enter the Lord's assembly: �A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord� (Deuteronomy 23:2), (KJV). �A bastard shall dwell in ASHDOD� (Zechariah 9:6), (KJV) refers to the �MIXED RACE� (other translations are �mongrel people� and �HALF-BREEDS�) who would settle in the Philistine city.� (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)
Bastard:
�(bas'‑tard) (mamzer; nothos): In (Deut 23:2) probably the offspring of an incestuous union, or of a marriage within the prohibited degrees of affinity (Leviticus 18:6‑20; 20:10‑21). He and his descendants to the tenth generation are excluded from the assembly of the Lord. (See Driver, ad loc.). Zechariah (Zechariah 9:6), after prophesying the overthrow of three Philistine cities, declares of the fourth: �And a bastard (the Revised Version, margin �a bastard race�) shall dwell in Ashdod,�MEANING PROBABLY THAT A �MIXED POPULATION� (Brown‑Driver‑Briggs' Hebrew Lexicon) of aliens shall invade and settle in the capital of the Philistines.�(from International Standard Bible Encylopaedia, Electronic Database Copyright (C) 1996 by Biblesoft)
