Next we’ll find out more about the logic of defilement in ancient Israel. However, if you’re wondering about where some of the items above that were not sources of defilement in ancient Israel were a source of defilement, here you go:

Mothers after delivery and newborn babies were a source of defilement in ancient Greece and Egypt. 

Cutting hair and fingernails was a source of defilement in ancient Persia and India. 

Defecation and urine were sources of defilement in ancient Zoroastrianism (historically found in Persia and India).
