Today's reading from Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy covers some very unappealing subjects:  everything from leprosy, to mold and discharges.  These subjects always make me think that these folks are living in a hot, dry, sandy region without any medical services.  The laws and rules are actually protection for their health.  Given the extreme problem that mold has been in recent years, we can certainly appreciate the need for dealing with it quickly and completely.  Other areas of concern received the same practical approach!  The Israelites were God's people and He constantly reminds them of His desire for them to be set apart and pure.
