ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Leviticus 14

Okay kiddo, let me explain Leviticus 14 to you in a way that is easy to understand. Leviticus is a book from the Bible that talks about how people should live their lives and be close to God.

In Leviticus 14, it talks about what to do if someone has a skin disease called leprosy. This disease can make someone's skin look different and even hurt, so it's important to know what to do if someone has it.

First, the person with leprosy had to go to a priest who would examine them and make sure they were really sick. If the priest thought they were sick, the person had to live outside their home so they wouldn't get anyone else sick.

After a while, the person would go back to the priest to get checked again. If their skin looked better, the priest would tell them what to do next.

The person would have to bring two birds to the priest. One bird was killed and the other bird was set free. This was like a way of asking God to make the person well.

Then, the person would wash their clothes and take a bath. It was like they were cleaning themselves to start fresh.

Finally, the person would be able to go back home and be around their friends and family again.

So, that's what Leviticus 14 is all about. It's about making sure that people who are sick with leprosy can get better and be close to God again.
