Strong's Lexicon yallepheth: Scab, Scaly eruption Original Word: יַלֶּפֶת Word Origin: From the root יָלַף (yalaph), which means "to stick" or "to adhere." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "yallepheth" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to Levitical law. However, the Greek term "λέπρα" (lepra, Strong's Greek 3014) is used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to describe leprosy or similar skin conditions. Usage: The term "yallepheth" refers to a type of skin disease or condition characterized by scabs or scaly eruptions. It is used in the context of Levitical laws concerning cleanliness and uncleanliness, particularly in relation to skin diseases that could render a person ceremonially unclean. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the laws concerning skin diseases were part of the broader Levitical code, which aimed to maintain the ritual purity of the community. Skin diseases, such as those described by "yallepheth," were not only medical concerns but also had significant religious implications. Those afflicted were often isolated to prevent the spread of disease and to maintain the community's purity. The priests played a crucial role in diagnosing and declaring individuals clean or unclean, as outlined in Leviticus.
