Leprosy n t heb.

Leprosy disease in the bible. This name is from the greek lepra by which the greek physicians designated the disease from its scaliness. Leprosy in the bible leprosy also known as hansens disease is the only sickness whose traditional complex of social legal religious and hagiographical aspects have made its history inseparable from that of the bible and the church. Leprosy in the old testament in the old testament of the bible leprosy is frequently referred to as an ailment afflicting not just humans but also houses and fabric.

It was not a lethal disease but neither did it seem to cease. Eastons bible dictionary hebrews tsaraath a smiting a stroke because the disease was regarded as a direct providential infliction. This name is from the greek lepra by which the greek physicians designated the disease from its scaliness.

The phrase leprosy and semantic variants are mentioned 68 times in the bible.

The hebrew word saraat is a ritualistic term denoting uncleanness or defilement and covered a range of conditions that could affect people or clothing or even a wall. Leprosy was addressed in the bible not only in the law but served as an example of the deadly effects of sin. The biblical perception that people with leprosy were unclean can be found in a passage from leviticus 13.

In the old testament the instances of leprosy most likely meant a variety of infectious skin diseases and even mold and mildew on clothing and walls. Just as a leper was declared unclean and banished from the camp of israel the law that is our schoolmaster about sin declares man as unclean and unworthy to live in the presence of the lord and one another in heaven.

The condition described as leprosy in the old testament section of the bible is not the same as modern leprosy or hansens disease as it is often called. References to leprosy obviously arent to what is known as leprosy today but a variety of skin disorders as well as some type of mold or mildew which might affect objects. The main reason why leprosy is talked about so much in the bible is that it is a graphic illustration of sins destructive power.

It is also unique in that the treatment cure and rehabilitation of millions of victims are seriously impeded today by widespread errors concerning it which are historically associated with the bible and the church.
