Strong's Lexicon tsaraath: Leprosy, skin disease Original Word: צָרַעַת Word Origin: Derived from the root צָרַע (tsara), meaning "to strike" or "to scourge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3014 (lepra): Used in the New Testament to describe leprosy, as seen in the healing miracles of Jesus (e.g., Matthew 8:2-3). Usage: The term "tsaraath" in the Hebrew Bible refers to a condition often translated as "leprosy" in English. However, it encompasses a variety of skin diseases and conditions, not limited to what is known today as Hansen's disease. It is used to describe both human skin afflictions and mold or mildew on clothing and walls. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, tsaraath was considered not only a physical ailment but also a condition with spiritual and communal implications. Those afflicted were often isolated from the community to prevent contamination, as outlined in Leviticus 13-14. The priests played a crucial role in diagnosing and declaring a person clean or unclean. The condition was seen as a potential sign of divine displeasure or judgment, and healing was associated with ritual purification and offerings.
