You shall put out both male and female, putting them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.
Numbers 5:3
Lepers and defiled people are isolated from the community in Torah not necessarily because they sinned, but for the protection of the rest of the community and their relationship with God.
Ritual uncleanness isn't about dirt or disease per se. It's about contact with death or a loss of life-force. If someone is in such a state of impurity they could accidentally touch a holy object or a priest or someone en route to the altar. That could then cause a serious problem for everyone.
When God's presence is right there in the camp with the people, they need to be very cautious. He isn't looking for an excuse to zap anyone, but he's dangerous, like a highly charged capacitor. Touch it without the proper precautions and you could be killed, and it would be your own fault.
In #acts 6:1-7, the selection of deacons to oversee the distribution of charity to widows is presented in a chiastic structure that reveals some interesting things about the relationship between the disciples and the Jewish priests.
The Jews and Hellenists in v1 refers to 2 groups of Jews: "the Jews" and "the Hellenists". The former was fundamentalist, more Jewish, while the later group was more Greek in language, appearance, and customs.
Frequently when #yeshua and the Apostles spoke of "the Jews", they meant the religious leaders or the more fundamentalist Jews, such as the Pharisees and Sadducees, not *all* Jews. When used in that sense in the context of believers in Yeshua, "the Jews" is more or less synonymous with "the Circumcision". The Hellenists in Acts 6:1 were Hellenized Jews, meaning they were Jews who had assimilated much Greek culture, losing a lot of their Jewishness along the way.
