2“Command the people of Israel to remove from the camp anyone who has a skin disease or a discharge, or who has become ceremonially unclean by touching a dead person.
3This command applies to men and women alike. Remove them so they will not defile the camp in which I live among them.”

Numbers 5 details several laws concerning purity and justice within the Israelite camp, emphasizing the holiness required for God's presence. It addresses the removal of the unclean, restitution for wrongs, and the highly unusual “test of jealousy” for a wife accused of infidelity. These regulations underscore the seriousness of sin, the necessity of communal purity, and God's commitment to justice, even in the most private and ambiguous circumstances, all pointing to the need for a perfect mediator.
