Quarantine of disease
( 21 ) Le 13:44 He is a leprous man , he is unclean "tame'": the priest shall pronounce him utterly "tame'" unclean "tame'"; his plague is in his head .
.. .. .. He is a leprous man he is unclean ..the priest shall pronounce him unclean ..shall pronounce him utterly unclean ..
( 22 ) Le 13:45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent , and his head bare , and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip , and shall cry , Unclean "tame'", unclean "tame'".
.. .. upper lip and shall cry unclean ..and shall cry Unclean unclean ..
( 23 ) Le 13:46 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled "tame'"; he is unclean "tame'": he shall dwell alone ; without the camp shall his habitation be.
.. .. plague shall be in him he shall be unclean ..in him he shall be defiled he is unclean ..
( 24 ) Le 13:51 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day : if the plague be spread in the garment , either in the warp , or in the woof , or in a skin , or in any work that is made of skin ; the plague is a fretting leprosy ; it is unclean "tame'".
.. fretting leprosy it is unclean ..
( 25 ) Le 13:55 And the priest shall look on the plague , after that it is washed : and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour , and the plague be not spread ; it is unclean "tame'"; thou shalt burn it in the fire ; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without . {whether...: Heb. whether it by bald in the head thereof, or in the forehead thereof}
.. plague be not spread it is unclean ..
( 26 ) Le 14:40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean "tame'" place without the city :
.. shall cast them into an unclean ..
One the the Biblical methods of stopping the spread of disease
was quarantine. Isolation. Separating diseased from non-diseased.
This was a revolutionary process in olden times.
The biggest single factor to stopping disease in the middle ages
was the idea that sewage water sould be piped away from drinking
water. Pity these people didn't read their Bibles more about diease
management. Isolation is a principle of disease management.
( 27 ) Le 14:41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about , and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean "tame'" place :
.. without the city into an unclean ..
Scrapping about the house is the removal of fungus diseases.
Fungus and mould is a killer of many homes where poor
ventilation occurs and air does not flow well in the rooms.
( 28 ) Le 14:44 Then the priest shall come and look , and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house , it is a fretting leprosy in the house : it is unclean "tame'".
.. in the house it is unclean ..
( 29 ) Le 14:45 And he shall break down the house , the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house ; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean "tame'" place .
.. of the city into an unclean ..
( 30 ) Le 14:57 To teach when it is unclean "tame'", and when it is clean : this is the law of leprosy . {when it is unclean...: Heb. in the day of the unclean, and in the day of the clean}
.. Le 14:57 To teach when it is unclean ..
