Verse 31
"Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.
This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goeth from him, so that he is unclean thereby; and of her that is sick with her impurity; and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean."
"These verses summarize this whole section dealing with uncleanness through discharges."[16] The mention of the tabernacle here indicates that one of the principal things pertaining to these regulations was the purpose of avoiding any "unclean" person's having anything whatever to do with the tabernacle ceremonies. That there were hygienic and other valid reasons underlying these laws is also evident.
The first section of Division Three of Leviticus ends here. The second section includes: (a) the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16) and (b) the identification of the place where the sacrifices were to be offered (Leviticus 17).
