On Defilement

5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Command the sons of Israel that they ^(A)send away from the camp everyone with leprosy, everyone having a ^(B)discharge, and everyone who is ^(C)unclean because of contact with a dead person. ³ You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they do not defile their camp where I dwell ^(D)in their midst.” ⁴ And the sons of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp; just as the Lord had spoken to Moses, that is what the sons of Israel did.

¹⁴ But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had only ^(A)spit in her face, would she not be put to shame for seven days? Have her shut ^(B)outside the camp for seven days, and afterward she may be received again.”
