LEVITICUS 13:46
All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
There were a countless millions of people killed due to the horrible disease leprosy; and after which another sixty million life were taken by the Black Death. Through the leadership of the church which was given up by the physicians of the day was the plague brought under the control. And the church took the concept of contamination as its guiding as embodied in the Old Testament, Leviticus.
DEUTERONOMY 23:12, 13
"Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad: 13 and thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
Hygienic provisions during closer to the eighteenth century even in great capitals were quite archaic. It was the standard for evacuation to be abandoned on the dirty and polluted streets. Powerful foul odor clenched the villages and cities.
Through following God’s provision in Deuteronomy, diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid fever could have been manipulated. A medical historian once writes that this directive is “certainly a primitive measure, but an effective one, which indicates advanced ideas of sanitation.”
NUMBERS 19:11-22
11 - He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 - He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13 - Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
14 - This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 - And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
16 - And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 - And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
18 - And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19 - And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
20 - But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
21 - And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
22 - And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
InShort :
NUMBERS 19:11-22 says, "He who touches the dead body of anyone shall be unclean seven days. ... Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him; his uncleanness is still on him. ... The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean..."
In other words, if a medical practitioner would have only followed the above instructions early in the history many lives would have been saved.
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
