Deuteronomy 23:9-11

New International Reader's Version

Keep the Camp of the Soldiers Pure and “Clean”

⁹ There will be times when you are at war with your enemies. And your soldiers will be in camp. Then keep away from anything that isn’t pure and “clean.” ¹⁰ Suppose semen flows from the body of one of your soldiers during the night. Then that will make him “unclean.” He must go outside the camp and stay there. ¹¹ But as evening approaches, he must wash himself. When the sun goes down, he can return to the camp.
