Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root צָרַע (tsara'), which means "to strike down" or "to smite."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3014: λεπρός (lepros) • A Greek term used in the New Testament to describe a person afflicted with leprosy. It is used in the context of Jesus' healing miracles, emphasizing the power of Christ to cleanse and restore those who are ritually unclean. Usage: The term צָרַעַת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition that affects the skin, clothing, or even the walls of houses. It is often associated with ritual impurity and requires specific purification rites as outlined in the Mosaic Law. Context: צָרַעַת (tsara'ath) is a term used extensively in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Leviticus and Numbers, to describe a condition that renders a person ceremonially unclean. The condition is not limited to a single disease but encompasses a range of skin afflictions. In Leviticus 13-14, detailed instructions are provided for the diagnosis and treatment of צָרַעַת. The priest plays a crucial role in examining the afflicted individual and determining the appropriate course of action, which may include isolation, washing, and offerings.
