Leviticus 14 deals with the ceremonial cleansing from infectious skin diseases (v. 1-32) and cleansing from mildew (v. 33-54). Again this is a public health issue. The ceremonial cleansing from an infectious skin disease involves examination by the priest, if the person was healed, two live birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop is brought for the for the one to be cleansed. A certain protocol was done with these including having one of the birds killed. The person cleansed took a bath and then went through an isolation period, after that he saw the priest and offered up a guilt offering. Anyway, it was an involved process for ceremonial cleansing. The leper who was cured by Jesus in Mark 1.44 and Luke 5.14 where Jesus said "..But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them."

If you are born-again, the meaning of faith should be real to you. We piut or faith in the Lord Jesus, whom none of us has seen, he is the substance of things hoped for, although we have not seen Him. Hebrews 11 is a Heroes of Faith Gallery.
