Things to Have Worn

11/25/2024

The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;

48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;

49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:

50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:

51 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.

52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;

54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:

Leviticus 13:47-54

Well, there you have it. That's what it looks like when you have a spreading plant form of a plague. Surely the affected at times must have something to wear though the garments at times were supposed to be torn. That's just due to the fact though that leprosy represented much more than a social part of an issue. Miriam, Moses' sister once was struck with leprosy that had broken forth from the Lord when she dared question the matter of her brother being chosen to lead. It seems then of logical conclusion that those having been affected by leprosy or perhaps anything else would have to have something to wear at a few times. This is especially true during the outbreak of plague as shown on the body. Those affected like this would surely have some weeping or drainage of sores. This drainage was filled with the virus which would be greenish or reddish according to pus or some blood. Also the green represents the strands of the virus unseen as it grows. When assembled together though it makes a powerful foe. That's most often how these things came to be so infected. Otherwise it sounds mighty strange for the priest to be watching a rather curious collection of objects , does it not. The matter though is all that remains of the plague having been sent forth from the Lord or quite possibly of the people's own making as well. Then again, life in the shadows of bondage and fear of the spreading of nature is hardly all that it seems. Therefore, it so happens as a result that the virus also eats into fabric and other material things at once over time. To cure it then, things must be either washed or destroyed. If the virus hasn't spread around in the thing, then it'll just need a good washing or such. If it's grown though leaving behind residue or its' flowering seen in the bud, you'll need to quite possibly say burn it with fire. That ought to do it from there I would think. If not, there's always the other matters of leprosy having spread through the house.
