Lev 15:31 | MHM | STEP | v. 31 : God gave these laws to separate Israel from uncleanness ( v. 31 ). The people were to be holy and pure, both because they were God’s special people and to teach them to avoid all sin. If natural events made someone unclean and unable to worship, then sin—something much worse—would make them even more unfit for God. Only a sacrifice could make them clean again, just as only Jesus’ sacrifice can cleanse us from sin.
