page 248 note 2 The highest degree of uncleanness, the primary source of ritual impurity, is the dead body (Num. xix. 11–21). It is the , ‘the father of the fathers of uncleanness’ (for in this sense see Daube, D., The New Testament and Rabbinic Judaism (1956), p. 65)Google Scholar. From this descend the the ‘fathers of uncleanness’, or secondary sources of impurity (Num. xix. 22), and this impurity is transmitted in diminishing intensity through the ‘child of uncleanness’ () to the ‘child of the child of uncleanness’. Leprosy is the first of the ‘fathers of uncleanness’, thus the leper is as one dead.
