Day 126: Detailed Purification Laws - Skin Diseases and Mildew

Welcome to Immerse: the Daily Bible reading Experience. On Day 126, we delve into Leviticus chapters 13 and 14, where the Lord provides Moses and Aaron with extensive guidelines for diagnosing and purifying serious skin diseases and mildew. These laws include the examination procedures for different skin conditions, the quarantining practices, and the ceremonial rituals for purification. Specific instructions are given for dealing with diseases on the skin, burns, boils, and scabby sores, as well as handling mildew on clothing, leather, and houses. The purification rituals involve detailed steps with offerings, including birds, lambs, and grain, depending on what the person can afford. These guidelines ensure that the priest maintains ceremonial cleanliness in the community. Join us as we explore the depth of these ancient purification laws.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
