Ulangan 23:9

Purity in Personal Hygiene

23:9 When you go out as an army against your enemies, guard yourselves against anything impure. ⁵ 

[12:8]  ¹ tn Heb “a man.”

[16:5]  ² tn Heb “gates.”

[17:1]  ³ tn Heb “to the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[17:1]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew word תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “an abomination”; cf. NAB) describes persons, things, or practices offensive to ritual or moral order. See M. Grisanti, NIDOTTE 4:314-18; see also the note on the word “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25.

[23:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “evil.” The context makes clear that this is a matter of ritual impurity, not moral impurity, so it is “evil” in the sense that it disbars one from certain religious activity.
