Numbers 5:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² “Command the people of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one having a discharge, and every one that is 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, in the midst of which I dwell.” ⁴ And the people of Israel did so, and drove them outside the camp; as the Lord said to Moses, so the people of Israel did.
