Leviticus 13: It Is a Plague

Some things are more serious than others. Some have more serious dangers and consequences than others. So it is with the skin diseases of this chapter. The King James Version uses the word “plague” to describe them—a truly frightening word. The tragedy of horrible diseases (such as leprosy) reminds us of the plague of sin. Note things that are parallel to the great “sin disease” as you read.
