'Outside the Camp' in the Bible

You must send away both male or female; send them outside the camp, so that they will not defile their camps where I dwell among them.”

The Israelites did this, sending them outside the camp. The Israelites did as the Lord instructed Moses.

The Lord answered Moses, “If her father had merely spit in her face, wouldn’t she remain in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”

So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was brought back in.

Then the Lord told Moses, “The man is to be put to death. The entire community is to stone him outside the camp.”

So the entire community brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Give it to Eleazar the priest, and he will have it brought outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence.

“A man who is clean is to gather up the cow’s ashes and deposit them outside the camp in a ceremonially clean place. The ashes must be kept by the Israelite community for preparing the water to remove impurity; it is a sin offering.

Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp.

“You are to remain outside the camp for seven days. All of you and your prisoners who have killed a person or touched the dead are to purify yourselves on the third day and the seventh day.
