Uzziah succeeding, and reigning well in the days of Zechariah, prospers16. Waxing proud, he invades the priest's office, and is smitten with leprosy 22. He dies, and Jotham succeeds him So King Uzziah was a leper The term "leper" in Hebrew is "צָרַעַת" (tzara'at), which refers to a skin disease that rendered a person ceremonially unclean according to Levitical law (Leviticus 13-14). Uzziah's leprosy was a direct consequence of his pride and disobedience when he unlawfully entered the temple to burn incense, a duty reserved for priests (2 Chronicles 26:16-19). This affliction serves as a sobering reminder of the holiness of God and the importance of obedience to His commands. It underscores the biblical principle that pride precedes a fall (Proverbs 16:18). until the day of his death He lived in a separate house leprous and banned from the house of the LORD And Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land For he was cut off (Psalm 88:5; Isaiah 53:8) from the house of the Lord.--This ground of Uzziah's dwelling in a sick house is added by the chronicler. Having been formally excluded as a leper from the sacred precincts, he was obliged to isolate himself from society. (Comp. Leviticus 13:46.) Verse 21. - And dwelt in a several house. The Hebrew for "several house" is הַחָפְשׁות: the parallel (2 Kings 15:5) showing yod instead of van in the last syllable. The verbal root is חָפַשׁ, and occurs once (Leviticus 19:20, with the Authorized Version rendering "was free;" in the same verse is also found a feminine noun derived from it, and rendered in the Authorized Version "freedom"). The adjective חָפְשִׁי occurs sixteen times, and is always rendered in the Authorized Version "free," except once "at liberty" (Jeremiah 34:16). The "freedom" conveyed by the word is that of separation, in the use of it as found here. The leper and the house in which he lived were kept free from contact with others (Leviticus 13:46). Gesenius appears, however, to prefer the idea of "infirmity," "sickness," as determining the cast of the meaning of the word in our text, and goes so far as to translate it an "hospital," quoting the word of Suidas, τὸ νοσοκομεῖον.Parallel Commentaries ...
