What happensPermalink
Moses gives laws respecting the cleanness of the worship assembly and the assembled army, as well as various laws regarding property, wages, and loans.
Why it mattersPermalink
The wars Israel wages are holy wars commanded by God to purge the land of evil nations; therefore, it makes sense that the rules for the army camp resemble the rules for the temple.
Key versePermalink
“When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every evil thing.”
