Numbers 5:1–4
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
