«When the leprous sore is on a person, then he shall be brought to the priest. » Leviticus 13:9
God cares about your health! That’s why He gave Moses some special laws so that His people would be healthy.
Did you know that there was a law that required parents to perform a minor surgery on boys when they were eight days old? It was called circumcision. Even today this surgery is advised by doctors.
There were other laws for disinfecting objects using fire and water, isolation to control contagious dis-eases and the prohibition of the use of animal fats, etc.
God took personal cleanliness very seriously.
Let’s practice!
Talk to your mom and dad about the good hygiene habits you have at home. How important are they?
