Today's reading continues in Leviticus - 14 & 15
The issue of clean and unclean was discussed in my blog yesterday, so refer to that if interested.
Most of what is written here concerns health and safety concerns for the tribe. It seems that the Israelites had an unusual sense of what was going to become communicable and therefore could develop into a plague.
The last part of chapter is clear:
"'You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place, which is among them.'"
While reading these sections can be slow, they bring a reward of knowing how God protected the nation from infectious disease.
Peace
