Leviticus 14-15

more descriptions of uncleanliness and how to make clean. I don't know if these were practical rules God provide to help keep Gods people healthy or maybe to be a reminder of the fact that God is Holy and to be close to him you should need to be as clean and holy as possible? Its difficult for me to find value in all the details, so maybe there is a real practicality of practicing these rules back in the day when keeping clean would be far more difficult than in todays modern world. Wiki provides an outline for Leviticus that is helpful for me to step up to a higher level and look at how the book is constructed. I. Laws on sacrifice (1:1–7:38) A.
