THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Command the People of Israel to ban from the camp anyone who has an infectious skin disease, anyone who has a discharge, and anyone who is ritually unclean from contact with a dead body. Ban male and female alike; send them outside the camp so that they won't defile their camp, the place I live among them."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Contextual Overview

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 2 Commaund the children of Israel, that they put out of the campe euery leper, and euery one that hath an issue, and whosoeuer is defiled by the dead: 3 Both male and female shal ye put out, without the campe shall yee put them, that they defile not their campes in the middest whereof I dwell. 4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out, without the campe: as the Lord spake vnto Moses, so did the children of Israel. 5 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 6 Speake vnto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sinne that men commit, to doe a trespasse against the Lord, and that person be guiltie; 7 Then they shall confesse their sinne, which they haue done: and hee shall recompense his trespasse, with the principall thereof, and adde vnto it the fifth part thereof, and giue it vnto him against whom he hath trespassed. 8 But if the man haue no kinsman to recompense the trespasse vnto, let the trespasse be recompensed vnto the Lord, euen to the Priest: beside the ramme of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him. 9 And euery offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring vnto the Priest, shall be his. 10 And euery mans halowed things shall be his: whatsoeuer any man giueth the Priest, it shall be his.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... Jarchi says, what follows was said on the day the tabernacle was erected, but it seems rather to have been delivered after the several camps were formed, and the people numbered, when those that were unclean were ordered to be cast out of them:

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The general purpose of the directions given in this and the next chapter is to attest and to vindicate, by modes in harmony with the spirit of the theocratical law, the sanctity of the people of God. Thus, the congregation of Israel was made to typify the Church of God, within which, in its perfection, nothing that offends can be allowed to remain (compare Matthew 8:22; Revelation 21:27).

Compare the marginal references. The precepts of Leviticus 13:0 and Leviticus 15:0 are now first fully carried out. They could hardly have been so earlier, during the hurry and confusion which must have attended the march out of Egypt, and the encampments which next followed.
