Deuteronomy 23:14 — Meaning and Application

Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:

And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: {wilt...: Heb. sittest down}

For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. {unclean...: Heb. nakedness of any thing}

Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:

He shall dwell with thee, {even} among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him. {liketh...: Heb. is good for him}
