2

This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:

3

And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;

4

Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Pre-Law Clean/Unclean Distinction

This verse is from Leviticus, which is part of the Mosaic Law given at Sinai, and therefore cannot be used as evidence for a distinction existing *before* that law. The verse describes a procedure *within* the established Law, not a pre-existing concept.

Symbolic / Spiritual Interpretation

The verse describes a literal action by a priest concerning a physical disease ("the plague of leprosy") and its physical healing, with no language suggesting a symbolic or spiritual meaning for "leprosy" or "healing."
