והייתם נקיים מה' ומישראל-Parshas Matos

The Chasam Sofer (Shut 6 : 59) writes.

 "There are two obligations 

1) To come clean from Hashem

2) from Bnei Yisroel. 

It is much easier to fulfill the first obligation than the second one.

The punishment on the second obligation is also much greater.
(Chillul Hashem).

You can have a person doing something which is Halachicly  correct, but isn't careful  and some "שותי שכר" (beer drinkers) mistakenly accuse him of wrongdoing, such a person has not  fulfilled his obligation of והייתם נקיים(מישראל)  .

It is almost impossible to fulfill this obligation. It is very likely Shlomo Hamelech had this in mind when he wrote אין צדיק בארץ

We find  the Bnei Gad etc. followed Moishe Rabbeinu's advice and fought along with the other Shevatim for 14 years.

 They were punished  to be sent to Galus before the rest of Klall Yisroel, because they haven't fulfilled 100% the obligation of והייתם נקיים ."
