Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for יַלֶּפֶת (yallephet) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the specific Levitical laws concerning skin diseases are unique to the Hebrew Scriptures and do not have direct counterparts in the Greek New Testament. 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.
