January 24, 2011 – Leviticus 15

I was trying to find out what this was talking about as far as a man with a chronic flow.  I don’t know how reliable everything I looked at was, and there wasn’t much, but the closest thing I found says it was what we call gonorrhea.  Which is interesting since I also read that they thought gonorrhea didn’t start until the middle ages.  But it makes sense, knowing what we know about it today and how it is spread, that God would try to isolate a person with it and that it is seen as something unclean because its spread is due to someone being promiscuous.
