My favorite example of this is the protocols for finding mold in your house.

Sure in isolation it's an odd thing for God to care about, but without a doubt it saved countless lives

Super interesting!

He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times. He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.”

Being a priest must have been a very different job back in the day.

What kind of mould was this, I wonder? It sounds gross, and if such efforts went into eradication it must have been super toxic.
