Civill as mans excrements which was legall also to the Jewes For God made a law against it that uncleannesse by it should be avoided in the Host ver 12 13. My Text comes in as a Reason to presse and perswade purity from that as from all all other defilements in the Camp and Host of Israel Thou shalt have a place without the camp c. v. 12. Thou shalt have a paddle that is an iron instrument to dig an hole in the earth to bury their excrements in v. 13. Why so For the Lord thy God walks in the midst of thy camp c.
