Scriptures About Lepers

"Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate;
and they said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die?" 2 Kings 7:3
Description of Illustration: lepers, leprous, skin disease, unclean, drawing of lepers in stained glass design, skin affliction, lepers in Bible times, transparent background

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a long-term infection by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Initially, infections are without symptoms and typically remain this way for 5 to 20 years. Symptoms that develop include granulomas of the nerves, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes. This may result in a lack of ability to feel pain, thus loss of parts of extremities due to repeated injuries or infection due to unnoticed wounds. Weakness and poor eyesight may also be present.

"In all cases involving serious skin diseases, be careful to follow the instructions
 of the Levitical priests; obey all the commands I have given them. Remember
what the LORD your God did to Miraim as you were coming from Egypt."
Deuteronomy 23: 8-9

"The LORD furthermore said to him, "Now put your hand into your bosom."
So he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his
hand was leprous like snow. The He said, "Put your hand into your bosom
again." So he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of
 his bosom, behold, it was restored like the rest of his flesh." Exodus 4: 6-7
"The man is afflicted with a serious skin disease; he is unclean.
The priest must pronounce him unclean; the infection is on his head."
Leviticus 13:44
"As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers.
They stood at a distance..." Luke 17:12
"A man suffering from a dreaded skin disease came to Jesus, knelt down,
and begged him for help. "if you want to," he said, "you can make me clean."
Jesus was filled with pity, and reached out and touched him. "I do want to,"
he answered. "Be Clean! Mark 1: 40-41
And Yeshua said to him, "Take heed that you speak to no one, but
go shew yourself to the priest and bring a gift as Moses
commanded for their testimony." Matthew 8:4
"Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest
shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among
thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly
to swell;" Numbers 5:21

Prutah or Widows's Mites

Description of the illustration:  transparent background, coins, mites

The Lesson of the widow's mite is presented in the Synoptic Gospels (Mark 12:41-44, Luke 21:1-4), in which Jesus is teaching at the Temple in Jerusalem. The Gospel of Mark specifies that two mites (Greek lepta) are together worth a quadrans, the smallest Roman coin. A lepton was the smallest and least valuable coin in circulation in Judea, worth about six minutes of an average daily wage.

Prutah (Hebrew: פרוטה) is a word borrowed from the Mishnah and the Talmud, in which it means "a coin of smaller value". The word was probably derived originally from an Aramaic word with the same meaning.
       The prutah was an ancient copper Jewish coin worth about one thousandth of a pound. A loaf of bread at that time was worth about 10 prutot (plural of prutah). One prutah was also worth two lepta (singular lepton), which was the smallest denomination minted by the Hasmonean and Herodian Dynasty kings.
       Prutot were also minted by the Roman Procurators of the Province of Judea, and later were minted by the Jews during the First Jewish Revolt (sometimes called 'Masada coins').
