Numbers 5:1-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
Separation From the Unclean
5 The Lord spoke to Moses: 2 “Command the Israelites to send outside of the camp everyone who has an impure skin disease,[a] everyone who has a bodily discharge, and everyone who is unclean because of contact with a dead body. 3 You must send them away, male or female. You must send them outside of the camp so that they will not defile their camps, where I dwell in their midst.”
4 The Israelites did exactly that and sent them outside of the camp. The Israelites did just as the Lord said to Moses.

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]
