במדבר, פרק ה׳, פסוק ה׳

A divine communication opens a series of three practical legal sections dealing with everyday life: stealing from a convert, the suspected adulteress, and the nazirite. These laws do not appear together by chance. Instead, they serve as a concrete application of the symbolic concept presented in the previous command, which required the removal of three types of impure individuals from the three camps of the nation [רש ר הירש].

The sequence of these new laws reveals a perfect parallel to the structure of those camps and their corresponding impurities. The law regarding theft from a convert appears first, corresponding to the removal of the leper from the main camp of the Israelites. It is meant to show God's presence within everyday social and commercial interactions. Next, the law of the suspected adulteress parallels the removal of the individual with a bodily discharge from the Levite camp. This expresses God's presence in the purity and sanctity of family and marital life. Finally, the law of the nazirite mirrors the removal of a person defiled by a dead body from the innermost camp of the Divine Presence. This reflects God's presence in the life of an individual who actively strives for spiritual elevation and moral freedom [רש ר הירש].
