Purity and Holiness in the Camp

Deuteronomy 23:9-14

"When you are in camp, at war with your enemies, you are to guard yourself against anything bad.

If there is a man among you who is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp; he is not to enter the camp.

When evening arrives he is to bathe himself in water, and after sunset he may enter the camp.

Also you are to have an area outside the camp to use as a latrine.

You must include a trowel with your equipment, and when you relieve yourself, you are to dig a hole first and afterwards cover your excrement.

For ADONAI your God moves about in your camp to rescue you and to hand over your enemies to you. Therefore your camp must be a holy place. [ADONAI] should not see anything indecent among you, or he will turn away from you
