Lev 13:1 The LORD gave Moses and Aaron these regulations.
Lev 13:2 If any of you have a sore on your skin or a boil or an inflammation which could develop into a dreaded skin disease, you shall be brought to the Aaronite priest.
Lev 13:3 The priest shall examine the sore, and if the hairs in it have turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the surrounding skin, it is a dreaded skin disease, and the priest shall pronounce you unclean…
The early Israelites practice, even in today’s standards, rigorous and sophisticated hygienic practices.
It is interesting that the priests not only played spiritual roles in the life of the early Israelites but they also act as doctors that diagnose diseases.
They even have regulations against mildews.
