The idea that they would tie a red cord around the high priest’s ankle in case he died
@MadisonPierce Ooh. Can you explain more about this? Where does it come from?
@MadisonPierce It may come from the Targums, but I’m not sure
@MadisonPierce What!?!? That’s crazy. Where does that tradition come from I wonder 🤔
@MadisonPierce Do you know any lengthier articles on this? The article linked below was helpful but very brief. It says there’s a longer article but the link must’ve changed. Someone somewhere must’ve written about this, right?!
@MadisonPierce Thanks so much! I heard that many times, and then when I actually read Leviticus 15-16 for myself I was surprised that I didn't catch the rope reference, so I went back and re-read it so that I could find it!
@MadisonPierce How did they get him out if he died?
