What is Leprosy in the Bible

Leprosy is an isolated and solitary disease. Eternal separation from God, what the Bible calls the second death, is eternal isolation and loneliness.

Anyway, what about the biblical leper?

The Mosaic Law mandated the exclusion of lepers from the community. The book of Leviticus affirms this: The leper walks around in rags, with disheveled hair and covered beards, shouting: “Unclean, unclean!”. As long as the condition persists, he will remain unclean.

In any case, what does leprosy mean spiritually?

Just as leprosy affects the body, there can be things that affect our spiritual life and prevent us from having fellowship with the Lord, just as leprosy causes people to isolate themselves from the world because they cannot enter the temple or live with their families, nor they do socially with their siblings.

Although who in the Bible had leprosy? Moses himself suffered from leprosy (Exodus 4:6), which God Himself miraculously cured. Miriam, Moses’ sister, also contracted the disease after complaining to him (Numbers 12:10). The Syrian general Naaman suffered from leprosy and was cured in an extraordinary way by the prophet Elisha.

The concept of leprosy is: Infectious and chronic pathology, caused by a bacterium, characterized by wounds and wounds in the dermis, mucous membranes and the peripheral nervous system.

“leprosy is a contagious pathology”

Moral evil that continues with speed and is difficult to maintain control of and eliminate.
