Números 5:1-4

A Pureza do Acampamento

1 O SENHOR disse a Moisés:
2 “Ordene aos israelitas que mandem para fora do acampamento todo aquele que tiver lepra,[a] ou que tiver um fluxo, ou que se tornar impuro por tocar um cadáver.
3 Mande-os para fora do acampamento, tanto homens como mulheres, para que não contaminem o seu próprio acampamento, onde habito entre eles”.
4 Os israelitas assim fizeram e os mandaram para fora do acampamento, como o SENHOR tinha ordenado 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.
