Números 5:1-4

La pureza del campamento

1 El SEÑOR le dijo a Moisés:

2 «Ordénales a los israelitas que expulsen del campamento a cualquiera que tenga una infección en la piel,^[a] o padezca de flujo venéreo, o haya quedado ritualmente impuro por haber tocado un cadáver.

3 Ya sea que se trate de hombres o de mujeres, los expulsarás del campamento para que no contaminen el lugar donde habito en medio de mi pueblo».

4 Y los israelitas los expulsaron del campamento, tal como el SEÑOR se lo había mandado a Moisés.

Números 5:1-4 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NUMBERS 5

This chapter contains a repetition of some former laws, concerning putting unclean persons out of the camp, Nu 5:1-4; making restitution in case of trespass against another, Nu 5:5-8; and of giving the offering of all holy things and all hallowed things to the priests, Nu 5:9,10; and a new law concerning jealousy, in a man, of his wife, Nu 5:11-14; when she was to be brought to the priest, and various rites and ceremonies to be used, Nu 5:15-23; who was to give her bitter water as a trial of her chastity, which, if guilty, would have a strange effect upon her, and make her accursed, but if not, would not affect her, and she would be free and happy, Nu 5:24-31.
