Question
Hello, Deuteronomy 23:14 A few verses back, Rashi mentions that one who becomes impure at night leaves the camp of Israel. Then, in verse 14, it talks about a place that should be outside the three camps, including the camp of Israel. For whom is this place intended? And what is the difference between the cases?
Answer
Hello
One who becomes impure at night leaves the camp of the Kohanim and Levites.
The phrase 'a place shall be outside the camp' refers only to those who go out for major needs, who must leave the military camp.
