Moses’ first five books of the Bible, the Pentateuch, are clearly not medical textbooks. They do, however, contain numerous regulations for sanitation, quarantine, and other medical procedures to govern the daily lives of the Israelite nation. Missing entirely from the pages of these writings are the harmful remedies and ingredients mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus. In fact, the Pentateuch exhibits an understanding of germs, disease, and other medicinal issues that “modern” medicine would not grasp for at least another 3,000 years.
