Question
evaluate the Leviticus cod of purity; and explain how the Leviticus cod of purity promote stigma on PLWHAs
Since the germ theory of disease did not exist at the time the Levitical codes were written, I can't see how they promote a stigma against persons living with HIV/AIDS. Modern histology and epidemiology can cause panics against PLWHAs, but not the Holiness Code.
Is there something else that you're really trying to get at? Or can you clarify your basic concern rather than trying to point out the answer?
