Deuteronomy 23:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp to deliver thee, and to give thee thine enemies before thee: therefore thine host shall be holy, that he see no filthy thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
15 ¶ Thou shalt not [a]deliver the servant unto his master, which is escaped from his master unto thee.
16 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in what place he shall choose, in one of thy [b]cities where it liketh him best: thou shalt not vex him.
