Let there be a place outside the tent-circle to which you may go;
13
And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:
14
For the Lord your God is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you
15
Do not give back to his master a servant who has gone in flight from his master and come to you:
16
Let him go on living among you in whatever place is most pleasing to him: do not be hard on him.
17
No daughter of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.
18
Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting to the Lord your God.
19
Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have
20
From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
21
When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin
22
But if you take no oath, there will be no sin.
