Good to take more than a glance at ancient Mosaic Law.

Yes, a thorough look, peruse, at what Moses saw–A God of Love. Thoughtful. Benevolent. Who fills with awe. Though, with disobedient ones, he’ll soon from humanity their life withdraw.

Take for example, leprosy.

“As for the leper who has the disease, his garments should be torn and his head” not shorn, as to himself in appearance solely please.

They “should be left ungroomed and he should cover over his mustache and call out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’”

He will be unclean the whole time that he has the disease. Since he is unclean, he should live in isolation. His dwelling place will be outside the camp.” So as to contain against spreading. Love guards against permitting an increase of harm. Causing an increase in deadly casualties.

Notice how the priest would then proceed:

“If the disease of leprosy contaminates a garment, whether a woolen or a linen garment, either in the warp or in the woof of the linen or of the wool, or in a skin or in anything made of skin,

and the yellowish-green or reddish stain from the disease contaminates the garment, a skin, the warp, the woof, or any article of skin, it is a contamination from leprosy, and it should be shown to the priest.

The priest will examine the disease, and he must quarantine the disease for seven days.

When he examines the disease on the seventh day and sees that it has spread in the garment, in the warp, in the woof, or in the skin (regardless of what the skin is used for), the disease is malignant leprosy, and it is unclean.

He should burn the garment or the warp or the woof in the wool or in the linen or any article of skin in which the disease has developed, for it is malignant leprosy. It should be burned in the fire.” Without further delay and with timely speed.

With further instructions Moses to them did read
in Leviticus 13, which today we can give heed to precautions necessary taken to demonstrate love in words AND deeds.

“Do not owe anything to anyone except to love one another;

for whoever loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law.

For the law code, “You must not commit adultery, you must not murder, you must not steal, you must not covet,”

and whatever other commandment there is, is summed up in this saying:

“You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

Love does not work evil to one’s neighbor;
therefore, love is the law’s fulfillment.” Rom. 13:8-10.
