Deuteronomy 23:11-18 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

11. If there is among you a man who is not clean from a nighttime emission, he is to go outside the camp—he may not reenter the camp.

12. Now toward evening he is to bathe in water, and when the sun sets, he may reenter the camp.

13. There is to be a place at hand for you outside the camp, and you are to go there outside.

14. You are to have a shovel for yourself among your weapons. Now when you sit down outside, you are to dig with it and turn and cover up what comes out of you.

15. For Adonai your God walks in the midst of your camp, to rescue you and to give your enemies over to you. Therefore your camp must be holy, so that He does not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.

16. “You are not to hand over to his master a slave who seeks refuge with you from his master.

17. Let him dwell with you in your midst, in the place he chooses within one of your town gates—the one that is good for him. You are not to mistreat him.

18. “None of the daughters of Israel is to be a cult prostitute, nor any of the sons of Israel a cult prostitute.
