Deuteronomy 23:9-13 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. When you’re at war and have set up camp to fight your enemies, stay away from anything that will make you unclean.

10. If one of your men becomes unclean from a nocturnal emission, he must go outside the camp and stay there.

11. Toward evening he must wash, and at sunset he may come back to camp.

12. Choose a place outside the camp where you can go ⌊to relieve yourself⌋.

13. You must carry a pointed stick as part of your equipment. When you go outside to squat, dig a hole with it. When you’re done, cover up your excrement.
