Leviticus 13:36

German (Die Heilige Schrift (Schlachter 1951))

und der Priester besieht ihn und findet, daß der Grind an der Haut weitergefressen hat, so soll er nicht mehr darnach fragen, ob die Haare goldgelb seien; denn er ist unrein.

Was bedeutet das?

This verse is part of instructions given by God through Moses to the priests regarding skin conditions. It tells the priest that if a particular skin condition, called a scall, spreads, the priest doesn't need to look for yellow hair; the person is already considered unclean.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine if your skin got a rash, and it spread all over. The doctor (like the priest in the Bible) would say, 'It doesn't matter if there's yellow hair or not; we know it's a rash that needs attention.'

Historischer Hintergrund

The book of Leviticus was written by Moses around 1446-1406 BC. It provides laws and instructions to the Israelites for their daily life, including health regulations. The context involves a nomadic people who needed clear guidelines to maintain health and community purity.

Anwendung für heute

In modern terms, this might relate to doctors diagnosing conditions. Once a disease is identified and its progression is noted, further unnecessary tests may be avoided. This teaches us about the importance of early diagnosis and following medical advice.
