A 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- B 2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp
  - C 2 every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
    - D 3 Both male and female shall ye put out,
      - E 3 without the camp
    - D' 3 shall ye put them;
  - C' 3 that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
- B' 4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp:
A' 4 as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
