Commentary on Numbers 5:2
God's command to put out of the camp all lepers, those with bodily discharge, and corpse-defiled persons emphasizes the incompatibility of uncleanness with His holy presence. The camp represented the congregation as God's dwelling place, requiring purity. This separation was both hygienic and theological, teaching that sin and defilement cannot coexist with God's holiness. The church today must also practice discipline, removing impenitent sinners from fellowship (1 Corinthians 5:13) to preserve the congregation's purity.
