Strong's Lexicon mispachath: Scab, eruption, or sore Original Word: מִסְפַחַת Word Origin: Derived from the root סָפַח (saphach), meaning "to attach" or "to join." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "mispachath" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific term related to Hebrew ritual law. However, Greek terms related to skin conditions or diseases in the New Testament include "λεπρός" (lepros, G3015), meaning "leprous" or "scaly." Usage: The term "mispachath" refers to a type of skin condition, often translated as "scab" or "eruption." It is used in the context of Levitical laws concerning skin diseases, particularly in the book of Leviticus, where it describes a condition that requires examination by a priest to determine ritual cleanliness or uncleanness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, skin diseases were not only a medical concern but also a significant religious and social issue. The Levitical laws provided detailed instructions for diagnosing and managing various skin conditions to maintain the community's ritual purity. The priests acted as both religious leaders and health inspectors, ensuring that those with contagious or unclean conditions were isolated to prevent defilement of the camp.
