Numbers
Those who were unclean because of leprosy, a discharge, or contact with the dead were put outside the camp. The stated reason was so they would not defile the camp where the LORD dwelt among the people. See Numbers 5:1–4.
1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead:
3both male and female shall you put out, outside of the camp shall you put them; that they not defile their camp, in the midst whereof I dwell.
4The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
