Deuteronomy 23:5-15

5 Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn't listen to Bil`am; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6 You shall not seek their shalom nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor a Mitzrian, because you were a sojourner in his land.
8 The children of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of the LORD.
9 When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall keep you from every evil thing.
10 If there be among you any man, who is not clean by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11 but it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 You shall have a place also outside of the camp, where you shall go forth abroad:
13 and you shall have a paddle among your weapons; and it shall be, when you sit down abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you:
14 for the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore shall your camp be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you
15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to you:
