the plague of leprosy.{Tzaräâth,} the Leprosy, from the Greek [lepra,] from [lepis,] a scale; so called, because in this disease the body is covered with thin white scales, so as to give it the appearance of snow.
The leprosy is a dreadful, contagious disorder, common in Egypt and Syria, and generally manifests itself at first in the manner described in the text.
Its commencement is imperceptible; there appearing only a few reddish spots on the skin, which are not attended with pain or any other symptom, but cannot be removed.
It increases imperceptibly, and continues for some years to be more and more manifest.
The spots become larger, spread over the whole skin, and are sometimes rather raised, though generally flat. When it increases the upper part of the nose swells, the nostrils distend, the nose becomes soft, swellings appear on the under jaws, the eyebrows are elevated, the ears grow thick, the ends of the fingers, feet, and toes, swell, the nails grow scaly, the joints of the hands and feet separate, the palms of hands and soles of the feet are ulcerated, and in its last stage the patient becomes horrible, and falls to pieces.
Lev. 14:3,35• 3and the priest shall go out of the camp; and when the priest looketh, and behold, the sore of leprosy is healed in the leper,
 35then he whose house it is shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me like a plague in the house; (Lev. 14:3,35)
