“To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.”
To determine when something is clean or unclean. These are the regulations for defiling skin diseases and molds. The comprehensive closing formula states the dual purpose of the entire two-chapter section: to determine when something is clean or unclean. The clean and the unclean declarations are equally the purpose of the examination system — it exists not only to exclude but to restore, not only to declare unclean but to declare clean. These are the regulations that create the framework within which the covenant community navigates the boundary between defilement and purity.
