Deuteronomy 23:9-14

Modern English Version

Uncleanness in the Camp

⁹ When the army goes out against your enemies, then keep yourself from every wicked thing. ¹⁰ If there be among you any man who is not clean because of a nocturnal emission, then he must leave the camp. He may not re-enter the camp. ¹¹ And it must be that when evening comes, he must wash himself with water, and at sunset he may re-enter the camp.

¹² You must also have a place outside the camp where one may go outside. ¹³ You must have a spade among your equipment, and it must be, when you relieve yourself outside, you must dig there and turn and cover up your excrement. ¹⁴ For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to defeat your enemies before you. Therefore, your camp must be holy, so that He does not see any indecent thing among you, and turn away from you.
