1 THE LORD said to Moses, 2 Command the Israelites that they put outside the camp every leper and everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is defiled by [coming in contact with] the dead. 3 Both male and female you shall put out; without the camp you shall put them, that they may not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell. 4 The Israelites did so, and put them outside the camp; as the Lord said to Moses, so the Israelites did.
