"When you go out as ^[d]an army against your enemies, you shall keep yourself from every evil thing.

"^(j)If there is among you any man who is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, then he must go outside the camp; he may not ^[e]reenter the camp.

But it shall be when evening approaches, he shall bathe himself with water, and at sundown he may ^[f]reenter the camp.

"You shall also have a place outside the camp and go out there,

and you shall have a ^[g]spade among your tools, and it shall be when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and shall turn ^[h]to cover up your excrement.

Since ^(k)the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to ^[i]defeat your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be ^(l)holy; and He must not see ^[j]anything indecent among you ^[k]or He will turn away from you.
