“When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body like a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests." v.2
Read chapter 13.
In this chapter we read of two different kinds of leprosy: on a person and on a garment. Aaron or one of the priests were to be the ones to inspect and declare what is to be done. This is the priest's job. There's not a difference between church and state. The priest held the duties of a doctor and an inspection service (i.e. building inspector). This wasn't necessarily extra schooling they had to do, but were given instructions by God to tell what is okay verses an infectious disease verses a plague, etc. And then by what means to handle and cure. This isn't a job we see today of priests or anyone having all these different jobs, although I'm sure there are some that seem like it;) It seems like a lot to handle but with God given wisdom and instruction it's possible. What are other ways you've seen separation of ministry jobs change from the past to today?
