Deuteronomy 23:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 ¶ Thou shalt have a place also without the host, whither thou shalt [a]resort,
13 And thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons, and when thou wouldest sit down without, thou shalt dig therewith, and returning, thou shalt [b]cover thine excrements.
14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp to deliver thee, and to give thee thine enemies before thee: therefore thine host shall be holy, that he see no filthy thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
