⁴⁶ He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be ^(A)outside the camp.

The Syrians Flee

³ Now there were four men who were lepers^{[a] (A)}at the entrance to the gate. And they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?

^5 (A)And the Lord touched the king, so that he was a leper^[a] to the day of his death, ^(B)and he lived in a separate house.^[b] And Jotham the king's son was over the household, governing the people of the land.

^21 (A)And King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death, and being a leper lived ^(B)in a separate house, for he was excluded from the house of the Lord. And Jotham his son was over the king's household, governing the people of the land.

¹⁴ But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but ^(A)spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be ^(B)shut outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again.” ¹⁵ So Miriam ^(C)was shut outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again.

Unclean People

5 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Command the people of Israel that they ^(A)put out of the camp everyone who is leprous^[a] or has ^(B)a discharge and everyone who is ^(C)unclean through contact with the dead. ³ You shall put out both male and female, putting them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camp, ^(D)in the midst of which I dwell.” ⁴ And the people of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp; as the Lord said to Moses, so the people of Israel did.

^15 (A)Outside are ^(B)the dogs ^(C)and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

²⁷ But ^(A)nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's ^(B)book of life.

¹⁵ See to it that no one ^(A)fails to obtain the grace of God; that no ^(B)“root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; ¹⁶ that no one is ^(C)sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
