Removing blood makes it harder for the blood that is left in the body to do its work. That is because the blood carries to every part of the body the things we need to stay alive. Today, most doctors know that bleeding does not help a sick person rather, it does just the opposite. His doctor bled him four times in one day. In December of 1799, George Washington became very sick. So, by getting rid of some blood, it would help the sick person get well. Why? Because people thought that diseases started in the blood. They would cut a vein and drain blood from the patient. The following are some examples pertaining to Hosea 4:6 and it gives us a picture of how people perish from lack of knowledge: The death of George Washingtonįor thousands of years, doctors treated sick people by a practice called ‘Bloodletting’. But God never wanted it to be so that is why He gave us his word. Many lives have been lost, many cruel deeds have been done, and many souls have perished on account of lack of knowledge. Ignorance or lack of knowledge is one such destructive state. The part ‘ my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge‘ is popularly rendered as ‘my people perish for lack of knowledge’. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children ( Hosea 4:6).”
