VERSE 2 
 - put out of the camp.
  The camp of Israel being now formed, with the sanctuary of
  God in the center, orders were given that the lepers and
  unclean persons should be excluded from the camp, according
  to the laws given at different times on these subjects.  See
  the Marginal References.)  This expulsion was founded, 1.  On
  a purely physical reason; for the diseases were contagious,
  and therefore there was a necessity of putting those
  afflicted with them apart, that the infection might not be
  communicated.  2.  There was also a spiritual reason:  the
  camp was the habitation of God; and therefore, in honor of
  Him who had thus condescended to dwell with them, nothing
  impure should be permitted to remain.  3.  Further, there was
  a typical reason; for the camp was the emblem of the church,
  where nothing that is defiled should enter, and in which
  nothing that is unholy should be tolerated.

VERSE 6 
 - When.
   * Le 5:1-4,17; 6:2,3
- and that person.
  This expression does not merely refer to the actual
  criminality of the person, but to his consciousness of guilt
  respecting it:  for this case must be distinguished from that
  of a person detected in dishonesty, which he attempted to
  conceal.

VERSE 15 
 - her offering for her.
  This coarse offering, without oil or frankincense, implied
  the baseness of the crime of which the woman was suspected,
  and the mournful state of her family.  It was not an atoning
  sacrifice, but an oblation for a memorial, as solemnly
  referring the decision to God, and calling upon him either to
  acquit or punish.

VERSE 17 
 - holy water.
  That is, water from the laver; called holy, because separated
  from common to sacred uses.  This is the most ancient account
  of the trial by ordeal, which obtained so generally among
  various nations; and it was calculated to fortify the minds
  of the Israelitish women in the hour of temptation, and to
  render them watchful against all occasions of exciting
  suspicion in the breasts of their husbands.
