Deuteronomy 23:9-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

Miscellaneous Laws

⁹ When you go out on a campaign against your enemies, you must guard yourselves against anything evil.

¹⁰ If there is a man among you who is unclean because of an emission during the night, he must go outside the camp. He must not come inside the camp. ¹¹ Toward evening he is to bathe himself in water, and when the sun sets, he may re-enter the camp.

¹² You are to have a designated area^[a] outside the camp where you can go. ¹³ In addition to your weapon, you must have a scraper with you so that when you squat out there, you can dig a hole with it and then proceed to cover up what comes out. ¹⁴ Since the Lord your God is moving within your camp to save you and to defeat your enemies before you, your camp is to be holy. Do not let him see anything indecent among you so that he turns away from you.
