12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself.
12 "You shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out to it.
12 Mark out an area outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourselves.
12 Also you shall have a place outside the camp, where you may go out;
12 "You must have a designated area outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 23:12
Commentary on Deuteronomy 23:9-14
