I would think observant Jews would have some degree of behavioral insulation and protection. Since last spring/summer when this latest outbreak started to erupt and I was reading about its spread in Africa being largely attributed to their handling of the dead, I started thinking about Numbers 19:11-22.
For something written a few thousand years ago, it actually outlines a pretty sophisticated decon procedure and puts in place "protocols," at least as good as anything the CDC has come up with.
Thank you for that link, I didn’t know that about hyssop. The three day and seven day rules are fascinating.Leviticus is where I would always bog down in the rules and repetition but now it and Numbers are beginning to fascinate me Thanks again very much.
