Verse 13 is found in chapter 23 of Deuteronomy. During a military campaign, the camp must remain holy and clean. Even bodily needs must be handled outside the camp because God walks among it. The teaching expands the idea of holiness: divine presence also affects the practical organization of everyday and military life.

Und du sollst draußen vor dem Lager einen Ort haben, dahin du zur Not hinausgehst.
Tendrás también una estaca entre tus armas; y será que, cuando estuvieres allí fuera, cavarás con ella, y luego al volverte cubrirás tu excremento:
Tu auras parmi ton bagage un instrument, dont tu te serviras pour faire un creux et recouvrir tes excréments, quand tu voudras aller dehors.
E abbi fra i tuoi arredi un piuolo, col quale, quando ti assetterai fuori, tu faccia un buco in terra, e poi ricopri il tuo scremento.
E entre as tuas armas terás uma pá; e será que, quando estiveres assentado, fora, então com ela cavarás e, virando-te, cobrirás o que defecaste.
在你器械中當有一把鍬;你出營外便溺以後,要用它挖洞,轉身掩蓋排泄物。
