Deuteronomy 23:9-14
1599 Geneva Bible
9 ¶ When thou goest out with the host against thine enemies, keep thee then from all wickedness.
10 ¶ If there be among you any that is unclean by that which cometh to him by night, he shall go out of the host, and shall not enter into the host,
11 But at even he shall wash himself with water, and when the sun is down, he shall enter into the host.
12 ¶ Thou shalt have a place also without the host, whither thou shalt [a]resort,
13 And thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons, and when thou wouldest sit down without, thou shalt dig therewith, and returning, thou shalt [b]cover thine excrements.
14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp to deliver thee, and to give thee thine enemies before thee: therefore thine host shall be holy, that he see no filthy thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
