“…"The priest shall examine the skin…and pronounce him impure." 33 Similarly, Noth notes that "the priests shall examine the diseased spot on the skin of his body… and pronounce him unclean." 34 From the text, the priest is required to do these to ensure that the sickness does not spread to others.…”

Leviticus 13:1-8 presents God’s instruction to his people, Israel, on how to combat the health pandemic. The hermeneutical propagations will help the priests and church leaders fight the virus, especially among priests in Nsukka, Enugu State. According to this text, the priest is to act as a health instructor in a situation of overwhelming health challenges. It describes health challenges and the role of the priest in overcoming them. Therefore, this text can serve as a model for combating contagious diseases like Covid-19. It is on record that the emergency of the Corona virus pandemic overwhelmed the health workers. This opened a gap, which necessitated that other people, like the priests, could come in and fill it. A rhetorical-exegetical method of biblical interpretation was used. Again, observations and interviews sufficed to ascertain the extent to which the priest helped enforce precautionary measures for Covid-19 as advanced by the World Health Organization and the National Center for Disease Control. It was discovered that the priests and other ordained men of God in Nsukka, Enugu State, are not totally committed to the extra services of helping the health workers in their fight against Covid-19. This is because it does not reflect on their sermon. Also, social distancing was not observed in the churches visited, and no testing kits, not even infrared thermometers, were found in most of the churches visited. Worse still, some laity were observed entering and worshiping without a facemask and no sanction. Washing of hands with soap and use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer were noticed not to be in place in most of the remote places of worship centers that were visited. Therefore, this paper engages the priests and religious leaders within the study area to preach health protocols, provide testing materials, and establish isolation centers to assuage Covid-19 pandemic.

“…Erhard Gerstenberger (1997Gerstenberger ( , p. 1429) se refere a estas leis como circunstâncias que deveriam ser fixadas como tabu, por serem perigosas ou sinistras. Coisas, pessoas e circunstâncias nestas condições deveriam ser rejeitadas ou excluídas, por não fazerem parte daquilo que os judaítas deportados consideravam ser a natureza de Deus.…”

“…Ele também afirma que Impurezas podem ser purificadas, mas as abominações são proibidas e somente os que não pertencem à comunidade de YHWH é que praticavam tais coisas. No imaginário dos deportados em Babilônia tais práticas quebravam a homogeneidade do grupo e a pertença ao povo de Deus (Erhard GERSTENBERGER, 1997, p. 1430.…”

O presente artigo apresenta uma leitura de profundidade sobre proibição de práticas homogenitais no Primeiro Testamento. O método exegético utilizado foi histórico-social e a hermenêutica que usamos é a do processo relacional. Sob as lentes diacrônicas da exegese histórico-social, a compreensão de Levítico18,22 e 20,13 será despida do vício de algumas leituras de gênero que confinam estes textos à mordaça do ‘patriarcado-quiriarcado-machismo-homofobia’ a fim de reconhecer nestas proibições iniciativas de preservação da vida frente às epidemias de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis que ocorriam em Babilônia no período exílico (597 a 465 AEC) antes que pudessem ser denominadas como tal.
