Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root סָפַח (saphach), which means "to join" or "to attach."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for מִסְפַחַת in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to Levitical law. However, Greek terms related to skin conditions or diseases in the Septuagint or New Testament context might include words like λέπρα (lepra, Strong's Greek 3014), which refers to leprosy or a skin disease. Usage: The word מִסְפַחַת is used in the context of skin diseases, particularly in the Levitical laws concerning cleanliness and uncleanliness. It appears in the context of diagnosing skin conditions that may render a person ceremonially unclean. Context: מִסְפַחַת (mispaḥat) is a term found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Leviticus, where it is used to describe a type of skin condition. In Leviticus 13:6, the term is part of the priestly instructions for examining skin diseases. The passage outlines the process by which a priest determines whether a skin condition is clean or unclean. The presence of מִסְפַחַת, or scurf, is one of the signs that a priest must evaluate. If the condition is determined to be superficial and not spreading, the person may be declared clean. The use of מִסְפַחַת in this context underscores the importance of ritual purity in the Israelite community and the role of the priesthood in maintaining the community's holiness. The term highlights the detailed nature of the Levitical laws and the care taken to distinguish between different types of skin afflictions.
