Rules About Cleanliness

5 The Lord said to Moses, ² “Command the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] to send away from camp anyone with ·a harmful skin disease [^Tleprosy; ^Cthe term does not refer to modern leprosy (Hansen’s disease), but to various skin disorders; Lev. 13:2]. Send away anyone who gives off body fluid [Lev. 15:2] or who has become unclean by touching a dead body [Lev. 5:2; 21:11]. ³ Send both men and women outside the camp so that they won’t spread the disease there, where I am living among you.”
