In Leviticus 14 God teaches Moses how to cure skin diseases:
14 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
So, cheap magic tricks with no insight into microbiology. No advice about hand washing or boiling water before drinking it. Just more innocent animals sacrificed to a deity that savored the smell of burning flesh. The god of Moses only knew what "Moses" knew.
The leper is already healed before the cleansing ceremony, your reading skills lack much and your desire should be to improve them.
Keep reading to Verse 33. More ridiculousness and magic without any insight into microbiology.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
