2-3. to say to the people of Israel, “Put out of the camp everyone who has leprosy or a bodily discharge or who has touched a dead body. Now that I live among my people, their camp must be kept clean.”

5. The Lord told Moses
6. to say to the community of Israel:If any of you commit a crime against someone, you have sinned against me.
7. You must confess your guilt and pay the victim in full for whatever damage has been done, plus a fine of twenty per cent.
8. If the victim has no relative who can accept this money, it belongs to me and will be paid to the priest. In addition to that payment, you must take a ram for the priest to sacrifice so your sin will be forgiven.
