Exegesis

Three categories follow, each introduced by kol {כָּל־ | kāl} ‘every’, stressing exhaustive application: tsarua {צָרוּעַ | ṣār-ū-ʿā} ‘leprous person’, zav {זָב | zāḇ} ‘discharger’, and the idiom tamē’ lanefesh {טָמֵא לָנָפֶשׁ | ṭā-mēʾ lā-nā-p̄e-š} ‘unclean because of a soul’, a standard formula for corpse impurity. The repeated conjunctions coordinate these items with equal status. The English mirrors this pattern by preserving the Hebrew’s sequential, ritualistic structure.

In context — Numbers 5:2

Command the sons of Israel, and let them send away from the camp every leper and everyone with a discharge , and everyone unclean because of a dead body.
