“Also you shall have a place outside the camp, where you may go out; and you shall have an implement among your equipment, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and turn and cover your refuse. For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp," vv.12-14
Read chapter 23
A pooper scooper! They're not just for back packers or when your camping but something Israelites used too. This would be when they men were away from home encamped before battle. The tents that the Israelites lived in would be very close quarters so to not annoy others or ourselves there was an ordinance to go outside the camp. This would promote good hygiene but more importantly because the Jehovah God walked in their midst. It seems to mean this literally. We see other places where the pre-incarnate Jesus appeared in times of the Old Testament, such as with Abraham in Genesis 18. The same Jesus that was born of a woman and died on the cross, walked on the earth thousands of years early among His chosen people. I wonder if they noticed?
If God walked about where you daily live would change what you have in your home or work space? Hide certain DVDs or change the radio station? Delete pictures or certain text messages?
