As a neonatologist, I encountered hundreds of babies with developmental abnormalities. The first diagnostic thought that crossed our minds was, “Is this a mutation?” We asked this question because we knew that an abnormality in genetic information processing could be the source of the baby’s malformation.

God, not content to be separated from the creatures made in His image, orchestrated a way in which an unholy people could still connect with their holy maker. Direct contact was limited to only one person, once a year, in the Holy of Holies. God and man could meet only after an elaborate series of rituals designed to purify the priest, people, and place.
