Their children in the third generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.

9

When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil thing.

10

If any man among you becomes unclean through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:

11

But when evening comes near, let him take a bath: and after sundown he may come back to the tents.

And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:

For the Lord your God is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you.
