12 You shall have a place beyond the camp to which you may go for the necessities of nature,
13 carrying a small shovel at your belt. And when you would sit down, you shall dig around, and then, with the soil that was dug up, you shall cover
14 that from which you were relieved. For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, in order to rescue you, and to deliver your enemies to you. And so, let your camp be holy, and let nothing filthy appear within it, lest he abandon you.
15 You shall not deliver a servant who has fled to you to his master.
16 He shall live with you in a place that pleases him, and he shall rest in one of your cities. You shall not grieve him.
