Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the specific Hebrew term יַבֵּל. However, Greek terms related to disease or impurity, such as νοσέω (G3552 • noseo, meaning "to be sick") or ἄκαθαρτος (G169 • akathartos, meaning "unclean"), may be conceptually related in the context of discussing physical ailments and ritual impurity.

Usage: This term is used in the context of describing a physical ailment characterized by the presence of running sores. It is a specific term that appears in the context of discussing skin diseases or conditions that involve a discharge.

Context: The Hebrew word יַבֵּל (yabbel) is used in the Old Testament to describe a condition of running sores, often associated with impurity and uncleanness under the Levitical law. This term is found in Leviticus 22:22, where it is listed among the blemishes that disqualify an animal from being offered as a sacrifice. The presence of running sores would render the animal unfit for the holy purpose of sacrifice, as it was considered a defect. The Levitical laws were meticulous in maintaining the purity and perfection of sacrificial offerings, reflecting the holiness required in worship. The condition described by יַבֵּל is indicative of a broader concern for health and cleanliness in the community, as well as the symbolic representation of spiritual purity.
