It is used in the context of diagnosing skin conditions that may render a person ceremonially unclean.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the community placed significant emphasis on ritual purity, and skin diseases were of particular concern. Leviticus 13 provides detailed instructions for priests to diagnose and manage skin conditions, including "bahereth," to prevent the spread of disease and maintain the community's ritual cleanliness. The presence of a "bahereth" could lead to a person being declared unclean, affecting their social and religious life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
