THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Command the People of Israel to ban from the camp anyone who has an infectious skin disease, anyone who has a discharge, and anyone who is ritually unclean from contact with a dead body. Ban male and female alike; send them outside the camp so that they won't defile their camp, the place I live among them."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Contextual Overview

1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,2"Command the Israelites to send away from the camp every leper and everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is defiled [that is, ceremonially unclean] by [coming in contact with] the dead. 3"You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they will not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst." 4The Israelites did so, and sent them outside the camp; just as the LORD had said to Moses, so the Israelites did. 5And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6"Say to the Israelites, 'When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind [against other people], thus breaking faith with the LORD, and that person is guilty, 7then he shall confess the sin which he has committed, and he shall make restitution for his wrong in full, and add a fifth to it, and give it to [the person] whom he has wronged. 8'But if the man [who was wronged] has no redeemer (relative) to whom the restitution may be made, it is to be given to the LORD for the priest, besides the ram of atonement with which atonement is made for the offender. 9'Also every contribution pertaining to all the holy gifts of the Israelites which they offer to the priest, shall be his. 10'And every man's holy gifts shall be the priest's; whatever any man gives the priest, it becomes his.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... Jarchi says, what follows was said on the day the tabernacle was erected, but it seems rather to have been delivered after the several camps were formed, and the people numbered, when those that were unclean were ordered to be cast out of them:

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The general purpose of the directions given in this and the next chapter is to attest and to vindicate, by modes in harmony with the spirit of the theocratical law, the sanctity of the people of God. Thus, the congregation of Israel was made to typify the Church of God, within which, in its perfection, nothing that offends can be allowed to remain (compare Matthew 8:22; Revelation 21:27).

Compare the marginal references. The precepts of Leviticus 13:0 and Leviticus 15:0 are now first fully carried out. They could hardly have been so earlier, during the hurry and confusion which must have attended the march out of Egypt, and the encampments which next followed.
