However, the Greek term λεπρός (lepros, Strong's G3015) is used in the New Testament to describe leprosy, which is contextually related.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "gabbachath" refers to a bald spot or baldness, particularly on the head. It is used in the context of describing a specific type of skin condition or disease that results in hair loss, often associated with leprosy or other skin afflictions in the biblical text.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, physical appearance and health were often seen as reflections of spiritual and moral states. Leprosy and other skin diseases were considered not only physical ailments but also carried social and religious implications. Those afflicted were often isolated from the community to prevent contamination and were required to undergo purification rituals upon healing. Baldness, as described by "gabbachath," was a visible sign that could indicate such a condition, necessitating examination by a priest as outlined in the Levitical laws.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1371.htm">gibbeach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bald forehead<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bald (1), bald forehead (3), bareness* (1), front (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גַּבַּ֫חַת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bald forehead</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb014701.gif">), only <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/13.htm">Leviticus 13</a> — absolute <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/13-42.htm">Leviticus 13:42</a> (P;
