It is used to describe a condition that rendered individuals ceremonially unclean according to Jewish law. The term is broader than the modern medical definition of leprosy (Hansen's disease) and likely included a variety of skin conditions.<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 issue. Those afflicted were considered unclean and were often isolated from the community to prevent contamination. The Law of Moses provided detailed instructions for diagnosing and managing leprosy (see Leviticus 13-14). The disease was seen as a symbol of sin and impurity, and healing from leprosy was considered a sign of divine intervention.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3014</b> <i>lépra</i> – a deeply infectious, contagious skin disease rendering a person "ceremonially unclean" in Jewish society.
