2Or if a person touches anything unclean—whether the carcass of any unclean wild animal or livestock or crawling creature—even if he is unaware of it, he is unclean and guilty.
3Or if he touches human uncleanness—anything by which one becomes unclean—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty.
Ceremonial unclean, the sin offering was a remedy for this uncleanliness.
The Lord has His reasons for the verses or they wouldn’t be in the Bible. Some of which may be for our own good, to protect our health.
Since childhood we’ve been taught to clean ourselves and to brush our teeth. We’ve been taught this for our own good, for our health. I remember one occasion on learning to brush my teeth, I was young and at the time no one was aware of ADHD or ADD. I was given a new toothbrush and a blue dye pill. The pill discolored my teeth and was a training technique to help you learn how to brush. Your teeth would turn blue and you had to brush until the discoloration disappeared.
Then I went to the dentist and he commented I wasn’t brushing correctly. I didn’t understand what he meant and he got frustrated and took his finger and rubbed the backside of my teeth like a toothbrush exclaiming, “like this”!
It took that demonstration to help me understand how to brush my teeth. To have dental hygiene, to be clean and to have cleanliness!
The verses teach us, that we are physically unclean and we are ceremonial unclean and incur sin if we touch a carcass or unclean animals or creatures.
I’m happy my savior completed the law!
Are you?
Blessings, David
