9 When you are camped in time of war, keep away from unclean things.
10 A man might become unclean during the night. If he does, he must go outside the camp and not come back.
11 But when evening comes, he must wash himself. At sunset he may come back into the camp.
12 Choose a place outside the camp where people may go to relieve themselves.
13 Carry a stick with you. When you relieve yourself, dig a hole. Cover up your dung.
14 The Lord your God moves around through your camp. He will protect you. He will help you defeat your enemies. So the camp must be holy. The Lord must not see anything unclean among you. Then he will not leave you.
15 An escaped slave might come to you. Do not hand him over to his master.
