Leviticus 13:1 - The Message

God spoke to Moses and Aaron: "When someone has a swelling or a blister or a shiny spot on the skin that might signal a serious skin disease on the body, bring him to Aaron the priest or to one of his priest sons. The priest will examine the sore on the skin. If the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears more than skin deep, it is a serious skin disease and infectious. After the priest has examined it, he will pronounce the person unclean.

Leviticus 13:1 - Additional Comments

This chapter describes how to detect leprosy and what to do when leprosy is found.
Leprosy is very infectious, and incurable; it's human disease at its worse.
"Leprosy is characterized by multiple lesions accompanied by sensory loss in the affected areas. Usually, sensory loss begins in the extremities (toes, fingertips). In many advanced cases, gangrene sets in, causing parts of the body to "die" (necrosis) and become deformed."
"Until the coming of AIDS, leprosy was the most feared of infectious diseases. Even today, it warps the lives of millions of people; mostly in South America, Africa, and the Orient."
"Leprosy has tormented humans since the dawn of history; leaving lasting imprints on religion, literature, and art. It is a deep rooted part of the human psyche, with both mystical and physical meanings. Asians and Africans call it "the big disease" in many tongues because of the damage done to soul and body of those cursed with it."
"We know nothing certain about the origins of leprosy, except that it is old, very old."
"Indian writings dated at 600 B.C, describe a disease that most experts agree was leprosy. It does not appear in the records of ancient Greece until the army of Alexander the Great came back from India in 326 B.C. In Rome, the first mention coincides with the return of Pompey's troops from Asia Minor in 62 B.C. Thus Asia could be the cradle of the infection."
