LeviticusSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg provides an insightful analysis of Leviticus 13-15, which contains laws regarding leprosy and bodily discharges. He clarifies that while leprosy symbolizes sin, it is not limited to its current definition and may include a range of meanings based on its usage back then. The laws regarding leprosy were designed to quarantine those affected and prevent the spread of the disease, rather than address hygiene concerns. Moreover, some of the laws have a symbolic rather than practical significance.
