DEUTERONOMY 23:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.”
Because the LORD your God travels along with your camp, to save you and to hand over your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy; otherwise he might turn away from you — the theological foundation is explicit: God's presence (shekhinah) dwells in the midst of Israel's community. Holiness is not primarily individual piety but corporate maintenance of the sanctuary where God dwells among his people.
