I find it interesting that today if we contracted leprosy, our first<br \/>\nstop would be the doctor. During this time the priests were trained to<br \/>\nrecognize the problem so the person could be quarantined. This protected the<br \/>\nnation from a rampant infection.<\/p>\n<p>Verses 13:38 &amp; 39 talk about an instance of what is<br \/>\ndone:<\/p>\n<p><b><sup>38\u00a0<\/sup><\/b>If a man<br \/>\nor a woman discovers bright\u00a0<i>shiny<\/i>\u00a0spots on the skin, including<br \/>\nbright white ones,\u00a0<b><sup>39\u00a0<\/sup><\/b>the priest must check them<br \/>\nout. And if\u00a0<i>he determines that<\/i>\u00a0the bright spots on the skin<br \/>\nare pale, this is only a minor skin rash; the person is clean.<\/p>\n<p>The Law goes into great detail on how these instances must<br \/>\nbe contained and handled since there was no real treatment. The goal was to<br \/>\ncontain the infected and ensure the greater population\u2019s safety. The priest<br \/>\ntherefore needed to be trained and skilled in determining if this was a danger<br \/>\nor not. So we get chapter after chapter detailing skin problems and what to do<br \/>\nwhen identified. Unfortunately I glossed over much of this since skin problems<br \/>\ntoday may be treated by a dermatologist, but most seems to repeat itself. I did<br \/>\nnot see a huge difference between the various skin conditions discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Verse 13:56 highlights a section concerning clothing and<br \/>\nother items we may be in contact with:<\/p>\n<p>But if the priest examines it, and<br \/>\nthe affected area has faded after it has been washed, the priest must rip the<br \/>\naffected material out of the garment, leather, or woven or knitted material.<\/p>\n<p>There is great detail to ensure their clothing is clean<br \/>\nalso, to the point of inspection. Many skin problems are contracted from<br \/>\ncontact with clothing that has mildewed or rotted. Again modern cleaning<br \/>\ntechniques have developed to ensure this does not happen, but we often leave<br \/>\nwet stuff in our gym back for too long and have to throw it out. \u00a0I find it interesting how much emphasis there<br \/>\nis on ensuring the nation is safe from disease. This is much of why I believe<br \/>\nthe nation of Israel has become targets, for example instead of adopting the<br \/>\nJews habits during the black plague, people died and detested the Jews for<br \/>\nremaining healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Verse 15:16 gets to the things that really matter:<\/p>\n<p><b><sup>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b>If a man<br \/>\nejaculates, then he must bathe his whole body with water and remain impure<br \/>\nuntil dusk.<\/p>\n<p>Now we get to be sophomoric and see how many times I can use<br \/>\n\u201cejaculate\u201d in a paragraph. I often wonder if they were talking about nocturnal<br \/>\nejaculations or manual ejaculations, since later it discusses ejaculations<br \/>\nwhile in bed with a woman. This makes me wonder, since that ejaculation will<br \/>\nkeep them impure until dusk implying activity during the day was normal. I<br \/>\nwonder what is in the ejaculated semen that makes it impure. I can\u2019t do this<br \/>\nanymore!! <\/p>\n<p>I think the point is to ensure purity throughout the nation<br \/>\nand its people. The point is not to make these emissions wrong per-se but<br \/>\nrather to ensure people remain clean at all times. These details are not to<br \/>\nshow the sexual side of man, but rather to show how much God cared for His<br \/>\npeople that every last detail is spelled out. No matter how uncomfortable it<br \/>\nmakes us today, these are natural functions that need to be addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leviticus 13 \u2013 15 In these chapters the main focus is on skin diseases and emissions.
