In the biblical context, leprosy is often associated with ritual impurity and social isolation, reflecting both physical and spiritual dimensions.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Descriptions</b><br><br>Leprosy is extensively discussed in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Leviticus and Numbers. The Hebrew term "tzaraath" is used to describe this condition, which could affect not only human skin but also clothing and houses. <a href="/bsb/leviticus/13.htm">Leviticus 13 and 14</a> provide detailed laws concerning the diagnosis and purification of leprosy. The priests were responsible for examining individuals and determining their status. <a href="/leviticus/13-3.htm">Leviticus 13:3</a> states, "The priest is to examine the sore on his skin, and if the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. When the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean."<br><br>The process of examination and purification underscores the seriousness with which leprosy was treated. Those diagnosed with leprosy were required to live outside the camp or community, as seen in <a href="/numbers/5-2.htm">Numbers 5:2-3</a> : "Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone with a skin disease, anyone who has a discharge or anyone who is unclean because of a dead body. You must send away both male and female; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them."<br><br><b>Leprosy as a Symbol of Sin and Impurity</b><br><br>In the biblical narrative, leprosy often symbolizes sin and divine judgment. The affliction of leprosy is sometimes portrayed as a direct consequence of disobedience or rebellion against God. For instance, Miriam, the sister of Moses, was struck with leprosy as a punishment for speaking against Moses (<a href="/numbers/12-10.htm">Numbers 12:10</a>): "As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous."<br><br>Similarly, King Uzziah was afflicted with leprosy for his pride and unlawful attempt to burn incense in the temple, as recorded in <a href="/2_chronicles/26-19.htm">2 Chronicles 26:19-21</a> : "Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. But while he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the LORD’s temple, leprosy broke out on his forehead."<br><br><b>Healing and Restoration</b><br><br>Despite its severity, the Bible also records instances of healing from leprosy, often highlighting God's mercy and power. The cleansing of Naaman, the Syrian commander, in <a href="/bsb/2_kings/5.htm">2 Kings 5</a> is a notable example. Naaman's healing came through obedience to the prophet Elisha's instructions to wash in the Jordan River seven times. This account emphasizes faith and humility as prerequisites for divine healing.<br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus Christ's healing of lepers is a testament to His compassion and authority over physical and spiritual ailments. In <a href="/matthew/8-2.htm">Matthew 8:2-3</a> , a leper approaches Jesus, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Jesus responds, "I am willing, be cleansed," and immediately the leprosy is cleansed. This act not only restores physical health but also reintegrates the individual into the community, breaking the barriers of isolation imposed by the disease.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Implications</b><br><br>Leprosy's impact on Jewish society was profound, affecting social structures and religious practices. The laws concerning leprosy served to protect the community from contagion and maintain ritual purity. However, they also reflect the broader biblical theme of separation between the holy and the profane, the clean and the unclean.<br><br>The treatment of leprosy in the Bible underscores the importance of holiness and the need for divine intervention in the restoration of both individuals and communities. Through the lens of leprosy, the Scriptures convey lessons on sin, repentance, and the transformative power of God's grace.<a name="ttt" id="ttt"></a><div class="vheading2">Torrey's Topical Textbook</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/luke/4-27.htm">Luke 4:27</a></span><br>And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/josephus/the_wars_of_the_jews_or_history_of_the_destruction_of_jerusalem/chapter_22_the_jews_make.htm"><span class="l">The <b>Jews</b> Make all Ready for the War; and Simon, the Son of Gioras <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> two most remarkable additions to the <b>common</b> copies, though <b>...</b> the <b>Jews</b> as subject to<br> the <b>leprosy</b>, and believed <b>...</b> hopes of any deliverance from a <b>disease</b>, or other <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../chapter 22 the jews make.htm</font><p><a href="/library/edersheim/the_life_and_times_of_jesus_the_messiah/appendix_xvi_on_the_jewish.htm"><span class="l">Appendix xvi.
