103 Some Time Away (Lev 13)

Well sorry for the lapse in my output.
Something important came up.
I had to go fishing in Victoria for a couple of days.
Did I have to?
Well of course.
Donna paid for some flights in March or April and it would have been rude to not go.
The fishing was a bonus.
New water usually is.
Productive new water.
I had a ball.
A mate took time out of his busy schedule and did the "guide" thing.
Superbly.
I caught fish, so he must be good.
I caught a lot of fish.
For me.
Had a real blast.
I so will go back one day.

Leviticus 13
It concerns me when I first had a look and see subtitles such as
"Regulations about Mildew"
"Regulations about Infectious Skin Diseases"
Yet I headed on regardless.
It's all ok.
Practical and wise advice in a situation where the spread of these things ultimately could bring catastrophe to the whole encampment.
Close proximity to your friends, neighbours and sheep in a hardly sterile environment equals disaster from a nasty spreading infection.
It just makes sense.
How important was it to get this right?
It's a whole chapter in the Bible.

A priest now needs to know mycology as well as dermatology as well as "normal" priesty stuff.
These were amazing guys.
So much responsibility.

Gifted by God to ensure the longevity of His people to the maximum.
Sometimes, just sometimes, I'm sure they even got to have some sleep.
