However, general terms for skin diseases or conditions may be found in Greek medical literature, but these are not directly related to the biblical context. Usage: The word "yallephet" is used in the context of describing skin diseases, particularly in the Levitical laws concerning cleanliness and uncleanliness. Context: • The term יַלֶּפֶת (yallephet) appears in the context of Levitical laws regarding skin diseases. In Leviticus 21:20, it is listed among the physical blemishes that disqualify a priest from serving in the sanctuary. The condition is associated with a scaly or flaky skin disorder, which would render an individual ceremonially unclean according to the Mosaic Law. The presence of such a condition was significant in the ancient Israelite community, as it affected one's ability to participate in religious and communal life. The laws concerning skin diseases, including yallephet, were part of a broader system of purity regulations that underscored the importance of holiness and separation from impurity in the worship of Yahweh.
