The bodies of the animals burned for Sacrifice in the Old Testament
days were burned outside the camp. The interior of the camp, the place for
Worship and the dwelling places were always kept as clean as possible. To keep
inside clean was not just a duty, it was the desire of God’s People to be clean
both inside and outside. If we, today, are God’s People, we should surely have
the same desire.
