Tu auras un endroit, hors du camp, où tu sortiras; et tu auras un pieu avec ton bagage;
Et tu auras un endroit hors du camp, et tu sortiras là dehors;
Tu auras quelque endroit hors du camp, et tu sortiras là dehors.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
In such a vast camp as that of the Israelites - see Numbers 1:1, and Numbers 2:1, and indeed, as Scheuchzer remarks, in every well regulated camp, cleanliness is considered as indispensably necessary.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thou shalt have also a place without the camp,.... A place prepared, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, provided on purpose for the use hereafter suggested; so Ben Melech:
whither thou shalt go forth abroad; to do the necessities of nature, which they were to do without the camp, not in any place they thought fit and most convenient, but what was appointed for that purpose.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The whole passage refers not to the encampments of the nation while passing from Egypt through the wilderness, but to future warlike expeditions seat out from Canaan.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 23:12. &c. — These directions may appear trifling to some, but they were essentially necessary to this people in their present circumstances. Decency and cleanliness promote health, and prevent many diseases.
