Rules Concerning Those Unclean
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the Israelites:[a] they must send everyone from the camp who is afflicted with a rash,[b] everyone with a fluid discharge, and everyone unclean through contact with a corpse. 3 You will send away both male and female;[c] you will send them outside the camp.[d] They must not make unclean their camps where I am dwelling in their midst.” 4 So the Israelites[e] did so. They sent them away outside the camp;[f] just as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the Israelites.[g]
