“Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.”
Numbers 5:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 5:3
The phrase 'that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell' reveals the theological basis for excluding the unclean—God's presence among His people. His holiness requires corresponding holiness in the congregation. The camp's purity was not primarily about disease prevention but about maintaining proper reverence for God's dwelling among Israel. This anticipates the New Testament teaching that believers' bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), requiring personal holiness.
