10. If there be among you any man, that is defiled in a dream by night, he shall go forth out of the camp.

11. And shall not return, before he be washed with water in the evening: and after sunset he shall return into the camp.

12. Thou shalt have a place without the camp, to which thou mayst go for the necessities of nature,

13. Carrying a paddle at thy girdle. And when thou sittest down, thou shalt dig round about, and with the earth that is dug up thou shalt cover

14. That which thou art eased of: (for the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies to thee:) and let thy camp be holy, and let no uncleanness appear therein, lest he go away from thee.

15. Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant that is fled to thee.

16. He shall dwell with thee ill the place that shall please him, and shall rest, in one of thy cities: give him no trouble.
