Leprosy, boils, burns, "the itch," mold, male emissions and female discharges -- this borders on too much information about the early Israelites. Do I really need to understand their plumbing to appreciate their soul? So who's going to look close enough to see what color the hair is in a sore to determine whether what you have is catching?
If you ever thought that being a Levite was the way to go [so to speak], this reading should cure you of that.
The early Israelites must have been an extremely clean bunch, given all of the washing here. I wonder how uncommon that level of cleanliness was in the ancient world?
