Bible Question: Can you tell me a place in the Bible that supports that the left side is unclean? I couldnt find it but I know it is in there somewhere. The more places the better. Thanks a bunch! |
Bible Answer: Hi It was not that the left side was unclean. It was that the members on the right hand side would be the ones used by the priests in carrying out their ministry and thus had to be atoned for so that they might be fitted for the task. A left handed priest would be expected to use his right hand in the same way. Democracy was frowned on in those days and left handed priests could not claim their 'rights'. Best wishes Jonp |
