Deuteronomy 23:10-15

10"If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, then he shall go outside the camp. He shall not come inside the camp,

11but when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water, and as the sun sets, he may come inside the camp.

12"You shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out to it.

13And you shall have a trowel with your tools, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig a hole with it and turn back and cover up your excrement.

14Because the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.

15"You shall not give up to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you.
