Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרֹק (yarok), meaning "green" or "yellowish."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for יְרַקְרַק in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the specific term for "yellowishness" in the context of leprosy or mildew does not have a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. However, related concepts of uncleanness and disease are addressed in various Greek terms throughout the New Testament. Usage: The word יְרַקְרַק is used in the context of describing a specific discoloration, particularly in the context of leprosy or mildew as outlined in the Levitical laws. Context: יְרַקְרַק (yerakraq) appears in the Hebrew Bible in the context of Levitical laws concerning leprosy and mildew. Specifically, it is used to describe the appearance of a greenish or yellowish spot that may indicate the presence of a spreading disease. In Leviticus 13:49, the term is used to describe the color of a potential leprous infection in garments, whether woolen or linen, or in any article made of leather. The presence of such a discoloration required the priest to examine the item and determine whether it was unclean. Similarly, in Leviticus 14:37, the term is used in the context of examining houses for signs of mildew or mold. The yellowish-green color indicated a potential spreading mildew, which required specific cleansing rituals to be performed. This term underscores the importance of ritual purity and the detailed regulations given to the Israelites to maintain cleanliness and health within the community.
