In Leviticus 13, Aaron and his sons get to be dermatologists! They have detailed instructions on how to look at skin and determine if it's an infection or a mere rash. If it's a real infection, they are determined to be ceremonially unclean and if it's a mere rash, they quarantine for seven days and then are determined to be ceremonially clean again. This chapter covers everything from leprosy to balding. Whoa - watch out for balding y'all! Just kidding - don't worry - if they only had balding to deal with, they were still ceremonially clean. The thing with sin that is similar to this skin issue chapter, is that sin is always more than a skin deep issue. Sin spreads, destroys, and eventually kills you if you don't choose Jesus. We need to let Jesus examine us, diagnose us, treat us, and give us the best eternal cure of all - life for all eternity - clean and pure with Him forever.
