:) Great words by our beloved Father :)

Yes, God gave Moses much practical advice - from what we are to eat to keep us healthy, to how to build and maintain cities.

Most people do not understand that this advice is for all mankind - not just for the Israelites.

Beautiful! Five stars, mathetes.

Egypt without a doubt was the most advanced civilisation in the 15th Century BC They were great builders and astronomers

But lets look at their medical knowledge

The Ebers Papyrus of about 1550 BC is among the most important medical papyri of ancient Egypt


Some examples of ancient Egyptian medicine found in the Ebers papyrus

To prevent hair from turning gray, anoint it with the blood of a black calf which has been boiled in the fat of a rattlesnake.”

“Victims of poisonous snake bites are to be treated with ‘magic water.’ Water is considered ‘magic’ when it has been poured over an idol.”


“Splinters are to be treated with a mixture of worm’s blood and donkey dung.”

“To stop bleeding, rub donkey dung on a cut.”

"For contraception: a douche of crocodile dung and sour milk".


Michael D. Parkins did research on the papyrus and found that 72% of the 260 medical prescriptions in the Papyrus had no known curative elements, and many contained animal dung which contains products of fermentation and molds


Now as the Bible teaches "And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds." Acts 7:22

Don’t you think we could expect to see some of this scientific ignorance or medicinal errors shining through in the writings of Moses? Yet, we see no scientific mistakes in the 5 books of Moses such as rubbing animal dung on open wounds as the Egyptians taught.

On the contrary Moses wrote rules on hygiene & medical practises that would not be found scientifically valid until the late 19th century.Things as simple as doctors washing their hands in running water which was not done until the 19th century.Or that germs can reside in pots & pans or that germs can be passed form dead animals and humans

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.

And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

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.

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:

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.

Numbers 19

Or read the entire chapter of Leviticus 15 which includes instructions such as "wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water" after coming into contact with diseased persons.

And quarantine laws to prevent leprosy & plaques found in Leviticus 13 & 14


Or to discard broken pottery & and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
Lev.6:28


So where did Moses get these advanced hygiene and medical practises...obviously not form the Egyptians


Out of the 613 laws God gave Moses 213 (1/3) are medical/sanitation regulations that insured the good health of the children of Israel if they obediently followed Gods laws

Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee;

Amazing post Mathetes!!!

Mind blowing yet infront of our eyes for the last 35 centuries!

And we all know that there have been no good medical advancements made by using fermentation and mold.

:) Great words by our beloved Father :)

If Joseph wouldnt have had pity on the tribe, they would have all starved to death long before Moses was born.
