I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading. I had been using One Year Bible Online, but it was time for a change.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Leviticus 14-15.

    In today’s passage it describes what a person who had a skin disease should do when a priest finds that he has been cured. The result of these commands is that the officiating priest has an incentive to find the person cured. On the other hand, the incentive is not nearly enough to encourage the priest to find someone who is clearly contagious as cured. It goes on to address dealing with a house which has become contaminated with mildew or mold (we assume mildew, the word used is the same as the word used to describe skin diseases). We know today that several types of mold are unhealthy and that if allowed to become too prevalent in a house they can never be gotten rid of. Finally the passage discusses actions to make sure that people are not accidentally exposed to the bodily fluids of others. Once more, we know today that many diseases can be more easily spread through exposure to the bodily fluids of someone who is infected with them.
