In biblical times, leprosy was a term that could refer to a variety of skin diseases, not just what is known today as Hansen's disease. The condition rendered individuals ceremonially unclean according to Jewish law.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish culture, leprosy was not only a physical ailment but also a social and religious stigma. Lepers were often isolated from the community to prevent the spread of disease and to maintain ritual purity. The Law of Moses provided specific instructions for diagnosing and dealing with leprosy (see Leviticus 13-14). The healing of a leper was considered a significant miracle, symbolizing both physical and spiritual cleansing.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3015</b> <i>leprós</i> – leprous, also used (substantively) of a <i>leper</i>.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3013.htm">lepis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>scaly, leprous<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>leper (4), lepers (4), leprous (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3015: λεπρός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λεπρός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">λεπροῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (as if for <span class="greek2">λεπερος</span>, from <span class="greek2">λεπίς</span>, <span class="greek2">λεπος</span>, <span class="greek2">λεπρεος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, a scale, husk, bark); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> in Greek writings <span class="accented">scaly, rough</span>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> specifically, <span class="accented">leprous, affected with leprosy</span> (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> several times for <span class="hebrew">מְצֹרָע </span> and <span class="hebrew">צָרוּעַ </span>; (<span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, c., p. 2, 6, 4) see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">λέπρα</span></span>): <a href="/interlinear/matthew/8-2.htm">Matthew 8:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-8.htm">Matthew 10:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-5.htm">Matthew 11:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/1-40.htm">Mark 1:40</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/4-27.htm">Luke 4:27</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-22.htm">Luke 7:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-12.htm">Luke 17:12</a>; of one ((Simon)) who had formerly been a leper, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-6.htm">Matthew 26:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-3.htm">Mark 14:3</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>leper. <p>From the same as <a href="/greek/3014.htm">lepra</a>; scaly, i.e. Leprous (a leper) -- leper. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/3014.htm">lepra</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>λελεπρωμένος λεπροι λεπροί λεπροὶ λεπρόν λεπρος λεπρός λεπρὸς λεπρου λεπρού λεπροῦ λεπρους λεπρούς λεπροὺς leproi leproì lepros lepròs leprou leproû leprous leproùs<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/8-2.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 8:2</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Adjective -
