12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself.
13As part of your equipment have something to dig with, andwhen you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement.
14For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you andto deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.
Only thing that’s relevant, and it only a sin if you don’t cover it after.
Half of the old testament just feels like health codes. This is make sure to not poop where you live. Other stuff is don’t eat foods that will make you sick.
Yep. There’s also a lot of rules about farming. If you accidentally drop some of the harvest while you’re farming, you have to leave it there so that the poor can take it (there’s also a command to care for the poor directly). Also, you have to skip farming altogether once every seven years to let the land rest, which seems like a basic form of crop rotation.
