Leviticus 13
46 As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.
Well I'm no Tom Vander Well but reading his post yesterday prompted me to think about Jesus healing a man with leprosy. That must have been even more impactful to witness than I was thinking. People would surely know the people that had been designated to live alone and had probably witnessed first hand many who lived and died alone. So to see a man come and make them Clean again must have been an even more powerful sight than I can imagine. Not only can he make us physically clean but he is the only one who can make our souls clean again.

40-44 “When a man loses his hair and goes bald, he is clean. If he loses his hair from his forehead, he is bald and he is clean. But if he has a reddish-white sore on scalp or forehead, it means a serious skin disease is breaking out. The priest is to examine it; if the swollen sore on his scalp or forehead is reddish-white like the appearance of the sore of a serious skin disease, he has a serious skin disease and is unclean. The priest has to pronounce him unclean because of the sore on his head
ReplyDeleteI find this to be a very good tip!
I think its funny that the priest is examining all of these conditions. But, hey, at least some one was examining.
