The leprous person who has the disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head hang loose, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry out, 'Unclean, unclean.' He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp.
Leviticus 13:45-46
Outside the camp
I am unclean…
rotting corpse of dead sin
still clinging to me.
What I am
is in need of cleansing;
Who You are is the One Who dares to touch me.
I am unclean
and You are the Holy One;
if I am to be clean
then I have to accept Your healing touch…
for You will make me clean again.
And then… I can go home.
