12 Tu auras un lieu hors du camp, et c’est là dehors que tu iras.

13 Tu auras parmi ton bagage un instrument, dont tu te serviras pour faire un creux et recouvrir tes excréments, quand tu voudras aller dehors.

14 Car l’Éternel, ton Dieu, marche au milieu de ton camp pour te protéger et pour livrer tes ennemis devant toi; ton camp devra donc être saint, afin que l’Éternel ne voie chez toi rien d’impur, et qu’il ne se détourne point de toi.

15 Tu ne livreras point à son maître un esclave qui se réfugiera chez toi, après l’avoir quitté.
