7. “You must not hate Edomites, because they are your relatives. You must not hate Egyptians, because you were a stranger in their land.

8. The children of the third generation born to the Edomites and Egyptians may join with the people of Israel to worship the Lord.

9. “When your army goes to fight against your enemies, stay away from everything that would make you unclean.

10. If there is any man who is unclean because he had a flow of semen during the night, he must go out of the camp. He must stay away from the camp.

11. Then, when evening comes, the man must bathe himself in water. And when the sun goes down, he may come into the camp again.

12. “You also must have a place outside the camp where people can go to relieve themselves.
