Deuteronomy 23:11-17 English Revised Version (ERV)

11. but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water: and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.

12. Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:

13. and thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

14. for the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

15. Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:

16. he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.

17. There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
