Deuteronomy 23:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Because the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to save you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, that he may not see anything indecent among you, and turn away from you.

¹⁵ “You shall not give up to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you; ¹⁶ he shall dwell with you, in your midst, in the place which he shall choose within one of your towns, where it pleases him best; you shall not oppress him.
