13 and you shall have a [a]spade among your tools, and it shall be when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and shall turn and cover up your excrement. 14 Since (A)the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to save you and to [b]defeat your enemies before you, your camp must be (B)holy; so He must not see [c]anything indecent among you [d]or He will turn away from you.

15 (C)You shall not hand over to his master a slave who has [e]escaped from his master to you.
