Deuteronomy 23:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The Lord your God walks around in your camp. He’s there to keep you safe. He’s also there to hand your enemies over to you. So your camp must be holy. Then he won’t see anything among you that is shameful. He won’t turn away from you.

Several Other Laws

¹⁵ If a slave comes to you for safety, don’t hand them over to their master. ¹⁶ Let them live among you anywhere they want to. Let them live in any town they choose. Don’t treat them badly.
