Numbers 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 5:4

And the children of Israel did so, and put them without the
camp
Aben Ezra observes, that this was done immediately before they journeyed, and that those that were defiled journeyed between the standard of Ephraim and the standard of Dan; but this, he says, was by way of conjecture, since it is not expressed:

as the Lord spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel;
they were obedient in this particular.

Numbers 5:4 In-Context

2 "Tell the Israelites that certain people must be sent away from the camp. Command them to send away anyone who has a skin disease. They must send away all those who have a liquid waste coming from their bodies. And they must send away those who are not 'clean' because they have touched a dead body.

3 That applies to men and women alike. Send them out of the camp. They must not make their camp 'unclean.' That is where I live among them."

4 So the people of Israel did what the LORD commanded. They sent those who were not "clean" out of the camp. They did just as the LORD had directed Moses.

5 The LORD said to Moses,

6 "Speak to the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Suppose a man or woman does something wrong to someone else. Then that person is not being faithful to the Lord. People like that are guilty.
