1 AND the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When any mana hath a
running aissue out of his flesh,
because of his issue he is unclean.
3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.

2a When any man The cleanliness
of bodily fluids, blood or dna substances etc., the laws of God were to be
kept by all persons. It is likely that not all person's blood and dna
substances were unclean in a medical sense but if it was to apply to one, it
had to be a law unto all. In a popluation which was so crampt one upon the
other as were the children of Israel in the camps of Moses, certainly such
laws of keeping all safe and clean and without disease were necessary. Consider
how to best control and irradicate such a disease as 'AIDS'. Perhaps only a
small part of the population would have it but who would know who had what?
And if it was important for the 'sick' to abide by certain laws of cleanliness
in order to control the disease, and not know who was so inflicted, those
law must be applied to all and any. Certainly when coming out of Egypt and
living in such close quarters as the Israelites did, there were various
diseases among them. The Lord's laws of cleanliness were just as much as
pervention and irradication as they where of treatment to the diseases which
the Israelites would be or had been exposed.
