We\u2019re continuing to look at those actions or objects that make one ceremonially unclean in the Israelite community; sometimes those things are related to infectious diseases, sometimes it is because they are immoral or detestable, but other times they simply represent being set apart for the Lord. Not everything in today\u2019s reading has a moral component, it simply means the person can\u2019t approach the Lord in the tent of meeting, or that they must be outside the camp. As approach the end of today\u2019s reading, however, the Lord makes it clear that there are some practices they should never pursue.
