Berean Strong's Lexicon
Tseruah: Leprous, leprosy

Original Word: צְרוּעָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine
Transliteration: Tseruah
Pronunciation: tse-roo-AH
Phonetic Spelling: (tser-oo-aw')
Definition: Leprous, leprosy
Meaning: Tseruah

Word Origin: Derived from the root צָרַע (tsara), meaning "to be struck with leprosy" or "to be diseased."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3015 (λεπρός, lepros): Refers to a person afflicted with leprosy.

- G3014 (λέπρα, lepra): Refers to the disease of leprosy itself.

Usage: The term "Tseruah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a person afflicted with a skin disease, traditionally translated as "leprosy." This condition rendered individuals ritually unclean and required them to live outside the camp or community until they were healed and ceremonially cleansed.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, leprosy was not only a physical ailment but also a significant social and religious issue. Those afflicted were considered unclean and were often isolated to prevent the spread of the disease and to maintain the purity of the community. The Law of Moses provided detailed instructions for diagnosing and managing leprosy, emphasizing the importance of ritual purity and community health (Leviticus 13-14).
