Leviticus 14-15 Rules for Uncleanness/Infections

What does it mean to be unclean? It means different things for different conditions but in all it means separation for the unclean and the clean so it does not spread throughout the camp. ‘Sickness was symbolic of sin, and even now it should not be forgotten that sickness and death are part of God’s curse on the sin of Adam and his race. Therefore, cleansing the diseased person required sacrifices.” Today we do not offer sacrifices but the in other ways it is much the same when one is found to be infected. We do that so that it doesn’t spread to others. The principle is the same for men and women. There are different occasions when this rule is to be implemented and for good reasons. God has instituted these to protect His people and it has transferred over the centuries to even today. 

Infections breed when they are not contained, thus the reasons for separation. These chapters show us how God loves and protects His people so they can be a holy people.
