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.
