Leviticus 13:1-28
It is a defiling skin disease. When the priest examines that person, he shall pronounce them ceremonially unclean. 大痲瘋，發炎性皮膚炎不會傳染
It is a chronic skin disease and the priest shall pronounce them unclean. He is not to isolate them, because they are already unclean. 舊大痲瘋
When the priest sees the raw flesh, he shall pronounce them unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; they have a defiling disease. 紅肉本是不潔淨，是大痲瘋
The priest is to examine it, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce that person unclean. It is a defiling skin disease that has broken out where the boil was. 霉菌, 創傷
On the seventh day, the priest is to examine that person, and if it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease. 是災病
On the seventh day, the priest is to examine that person, and if it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease. If, however, the spot is unchanged and has not spread in the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce them clean; it is only a scar from the burn. 過敏與感染病的分別。
Although the word 'leprosy' is used throughout in many versions, true leprosy is only one of the skin diseases mentioned here. Chapter 13 is written in technical jargon - a professional textbook on diagnosis for the priest-physician, enabling him to distinguish between 'acute' and 'chronic' forms of the various diseases. this is the earliest formulation of quarantine regulations and preventive medicine relating to these diseases so fat recovered from the ancient Near East.
Why?
To protect the population of Israelite and keep the whole people healthy for living and God's people is holy, everyone should be clean before the Lord.
This is the great instruction to preventive medicine relating to these diseases in the ancient Near East.
How?
God knows everything for His wisdom higher than the human being.
