Deuteronomy 23:9-14 ▼

9 When thou goest out with the hoast against thyne enemies, kepe thee from all wickednesse.

10 If there be among you any man that is vncleane, by the reason of vncleannesse that chaunceth hym by nyght: let him go out of the hoast, and not come in agayne into the hoast.

11 But at euen let hym washe hym selfe with water: and then when the sunne is downe, let hym come into the hoast agayne.

12 Thou shalt haue a place also without the hoast, whyther thou shalt resort to.

13 And thou shalt haue a paddle staffe vpon thy weapon: and when thou wilt ease thy selfe, digge therwith, and turne and couer that which is departed from thee.

14 For the Lorde thy God walketh in the middes of thyne hoast, to ryd thee, and to set thyne enemies before thee: Therfore shall the place of thyne hoast be pure; that he see do vncleane thyng in thee, and so turne him selfe from thee.
