God decides to teach Moses the healing arts, of which God has some small expertise.
This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
Catch two birds and kill one over running water. Dip the living bird in the bloody mess, and shake the living bird over the leper 7 times, sprinkling the blood. The blood from the dead bird seems to do the trick; however, one must be careful not to get any of the blood from the dead bird unto the leper which hath not ran upon the living bird (make sure it is shaken off of the living bird 7 times).
This method that God invented is still considered to be one of the best cures for leprosy. It also works for eczema and psoriasis (do not let the wings of the live bird touch the leprotic lesions). For severe ringworm, mix the bird blood with sliced mushrooms, and cook over medium heat for about 40 minutes. Just before removing from heat, a small amount of dry red wine may be added to the mix. Alternatively, the wine may be daubed on the tip of the ringworm sufferer's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot, making sure to then break the bottle over the little toe of his left foot...
Leviticus
14:4
Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean , and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
14:5
And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
14:6
As for the living bird, he shall take it , and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
14:7
And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. |
