Leviticus 14:2-52 describes a ceremonial practice under the Mosaic Law, the Torah. It is not a medical practice, although sound medical ideas such as washing are involved. The cleansing referred to is to signify that the person was cured of leprosy and was then to be made ceremonially clean that they might again enter into the religious life of the Jews of that age, as being certified free from the disease and also as being free from the religious defilement which it brought.

How long does the Sukkot holiday last in United states and are all of the days NO WORK days?

Sukkot means booth or booths. Sukkot is a reference to our Fathers feast days, specifically the feast of Tabernacles which still stand today, and which have been eliminated by systematic Christian church worship. You will find our Fathers feasts given in Exodus, 12, 13, 23, 34, Leviticus 23 (all the timing given), and Deuteronomy 16The first is Passover (14 days after the spring equinox), 15th day is the feast of unleavened bread.The second is Pentecost (the feast of weeks) (50 days after Passover)The blowing of trumpets (first day of the 7th month)Day of Atonement (10th day of the 7th month)The feast of Tabernacles (in the fall on the 15th day of the 7th month) This is where Sukkot or the living in booths is defined as occurring during the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:42). The Jews, continue this partially and call it Sukkot. The 7th month is what most refer to as September, its from the Latin "Septem" although the current days of September are not aligned with the days proclaimed and used by the Hebrews-Tribes of Israel. Sukkot or the living in booths as it is defined in Leviticus 23:42 lasts 7 days.
