The Law for the Cleansing of the Man With Leprosy

Cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop are all joined together to be dipped in the bloode water with the live bird. The ritual for the cleansing of the leper has a number of elements that remind us of the story of the exodus," says Rabbi David foreman. In this case, the israelites were shut up within their houses until the morning came; egypt's first born received the stroke or plague of death. While israel was born as the first born of the lord, one nation, as it were, was rendered still born, whereas other was born into new life.
