1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων λέγων

2 ἀνθρώπῳ ἐάν τινι γένηται ἐν δέρματι χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ οὐλὴ σημασίας τηλαυγὴς καὶ γένηται ἐν δέρματι χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ ἁφὴ λέπρας καὶ ἀχθήσεται πρὸς ααρων τὸν ἱερέα ἢ ἕνα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν ἱερέων

3 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἐν δέρματι τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ θρὶξ ἐν τῇ ἁφῇ μεταβάλῃ λευκή καὶ ἡ ὄψις τῆς ἁφῆς ταπεινὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος τοῦ χρωτός ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτόν

4 ἐὰν δὲ τηλαυγὴς λευκὴ ᾖ ἐν τῷ δέρματι τοῦ χρωτός καὶ ταπεινὴ μὴ ᾖ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος καὶ ἡ θρὶξ αὐτοῦ οὐ μετέβαλεν τρίχα λευκήν αὐτὴ δέ ἐστιν ἀμαυρά καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

5 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ἁφὴ μένει ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ οὐ μετέπεσεν ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον

6 καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ τὸ δεύτερον καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀμαυρὰ ἡ ἁφή οὐ μετέπεσεν ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς σημασία γάρ ἐστιν καὶ πλυνάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια καθαρὸς ἔσται

7 ἐὰν δὲ μεταβαλοῦσα μεταπέσῃ ἡ σημασία ἐν τῷ δέρματι μετὰ τὸ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν τὸν ἱερέα τοῦ καθαρίσαι αὐτόν καὶ ὀφθήσεται τὸ δεύτερον τῷ ἱερεῖ

8 καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέπεσεν ἡ σημασία ἐν τῷ δέρματι καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς λέπρα ἐστίν

9 καὶ ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐὰν γένηται ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ καὶ ἥξει πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα

10 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐλὴ λευκὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι καὶ αὕτη μετέβαλεν τρίχα λευκήν καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑγιοῦς τῆς σαρκὸς τῆς ζώσης ἐν τῇ οὐλῇ

11 λέπρα παλαιουμένη ἐστίν ἐν τῷ δέρματι τοῦ χρωτός ἐστιν καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτόν ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν

12 ἐὰν δὲ ἐξανθοῦσα ἐξανθήσῃ ἡ λέπρα ἐν τῷ δέρματι καὶ καλύψῃ ἡ λέπρα πᾶν τὸ δέρμα τῆς ἁφῆς ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς ἕως ποδῶν καθ' ὅλην τὴν ὅρασιν τοῦ ἱερέως

13 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκάλυψεν ἡ λέπρα πᾶν τὸ δέρμα τοῦ χρωτός καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν ὅτι πᾶν μετέβαλεν λευκόν καθαρόν ἐστιν

14 καὶ ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ὀφθῇ ἐν αὐτῷ χρὼς ζῶν μιανθήσεται

15 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸν χρῶτα τὸν ὑγιῆ καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ χρὼς ὁ ὑγιής ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν λέπρα ἐστίν

16 ἐὰν δὲ ἀποκαταστῇ ὁ χρὼς ὁ ὑγιὴς καὶ μεταβάλῃ λευκή καὶ ἐλεύσεται πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα

17 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέβαλεν ἡ ἁφὴ εἰς τὸ λευκόν καὶ καθαριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν καθαρός ἐστιν

18 καὶ σὰρξ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕλκος καὶ ὑγιασθῇ

19 καὶ γένηται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τοῦ ἕλκους οὐλὴ λευκὴ ἢ τηλαυγὴς λευκαίνουσα ἢ πυρρίζουσα καὶ ὀφθήσεται τῷ ἱερεῖ

20 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις ταπεινοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος καὶ ἡ θρὶξ αὐτῆς μετέβαλεν εἰς λευκήν καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς λέπρα ἐστίν ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν

21 ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ θρὶξ λευκή καὶ ταπεινὸν μὴ ᾖ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος τοῦ χρωτός καὶ αὐτὴ ᾖ ἀμαυρά ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

22 ἐὰν δὲ διαχέηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν

23 ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ χώραν μείνῃ τὸ τηλαύγημα καὶ μὴ διαχέηται οὐλὴ τοῦ ἕλκους ἐστίν καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς

24 καὶ σὰρξ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ κατάκαυμα πυρός καὶ γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ τὸ ὑγιασθὲν τοῦ κατακαύματος αὐγάζον τηλαυγὲς λευκὸν ὑποπυρρίζον ἢ ἔκλευκον

25 καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέβαλεν θρὶξ λευκὴ εἰς τὸ αὐγάζον καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ ταπεινὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος λέπρα ἐστίν ἐν τῷ κατακαύματι ἐξήνθησεν καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν

26 ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ αὐγάζοντι θρὶξ λευκή καὶ ταπεινὸν μὴ ᾖ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος αὐτὸ δὲ ἀμαυρόν καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

27 καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν

28 ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ χώραν μείνῃ τὸ αὐγάζον καὶ μὴ διαχυθῇ ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτὴ δὲ ᾖ ἀμαυρά ἡ οὐλὴ τοῦ κατακαύματός ἐστιν καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς ὁ γὰρ χαρακτὴρ τοῦ κατακαύματός ἐστιν

29 καὶ ἀνδρὶ καὶ γυναικὶ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν αὐτοῖς ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ ἢ ἐν τῷ πώγωνι

30 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῆς ἐγκοιλοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος ἐν αὐτῇ δὲ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα λεπτή καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς θραῦσμά ἐστιν λέπρα τῆς κεφαλῆς ἢ λέπρα τοῦ πώγωνός ἐστιν

31 καὶ ἐὰν ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τοῦ θραύσματος καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐχ ἡ ὄψις ἐγκοιλοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος καὶ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τοῦ θραύσματος ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

32 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ διεχύθη τὸ θραῦσμα καὶ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ἡ ὄψις τοῦ θραύσματος οὐκ ἔστιν κοίλη ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος

33 καὶ ξυρηθήσεται τὸ δέρμα τὸ δὲ θραῦσμα οὐ ξυρηθήσεται καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ θραῦσμα ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον

34 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ θραῦσμα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ διεχύθη τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι μετὰ τὸ ξυρηθῆναι αὐτόν καὶ ἡ ὄψις τοῦ θραύσματος οὐκ ἔστιν κοίλη ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ πλυνάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια καθαρὸς ἔσται

35 ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι μετὰ τὸ καθαρισθῆναι αὐτόν

36 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ διακέχυται τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι οὐκ ἐπισκέψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ τῆς τριχὸς τῆς ξανθῆς ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν

37 ἐὰν δὲ ἐνώπιον μείνῃ τὸ θραῦσμα ἐπὶ χώρας καὶ θρὶξ μέλαινα ἀνατείλῃ ἐν αὐτῷ ὑγίακεν τὸ θραῦσμα καθαρός ἐστιν καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς

38 καὶ ἀνδρὶ ἢ γυναικὶ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ αὐγάσματα αὐγάζοντα λευκαθίζοντα

39 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ αὐγάσματα αὐγάζοντα λευκαθίζοντα ἀλφός ἐστιν καθαρός ἐστιν ἐξανθεῖ ἐν τῷ δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ καθαρός ἐστιν

40 ἐὰν δέ τινι μαδήσῃ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ φαλακρός ἐστιν καθαρός ἐστιν

41 ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ πρόσωπον μαδήσῃ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἀναφάλαντός ἐστιν καθαρός ἐστιν

42 ἐὰν δὲ γένηται ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ ἁφὴ λευκὴ ἢ πυρρίζουσα λέπρα ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ

43 καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις τῆς ἁφῆς λευκὴ πυρρίζουσα ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ ὡς εἶδος λέπρας ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ

44 ἄνθρωπος λεπρός ἐστιν μιάνσει μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφὴ αὐτοῦ

45 καὶ ὁ λεπρός ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἔστω παραλελυμένα καὶ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἀκατακάλυπτος καὶ περὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ περιβαλέσθω καὶ ἀκάθαρτος κεκλήσεται

46 πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὅσας ἂν ᾖ ἐπ' αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφή ἀκάθαρτος ὢν ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται κεχωρισμένος καθήσεται ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διατριβή

47 καὶ ἱματίῳ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν αὐτῷ ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐν ἱματίῳ ἐρεῷ ἢ ἐν ἱματίῳ στιππυίνῳ

48 ἢ ἐν στήμονι ἢ ἐν κρόκῃ ἢ ἐν τοῖς λινοῖς ἢ ἐν τοῖς ἐρεοῖς ἢ ἐν δέρματι ἢ ἐν παντὶ ἐργασίμῳ δέρματι

49 καὶ γένηται ἡ ἁφὴ χλωρίζουσα ἢ πυρρίζουσα ἐν τῷ δέρματι ἢ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει ἐργασίμῳ δέρματος ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν καὶ δείξει τῷ ἱερεῖ

50 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

51 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐὰν δὲ διαχέηται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ ἢ ἐν τῷ δέρματι κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἂν ποιηθῇ δέρματα ἐν τῇ ἐργασίᾳ λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν

52 κατακαύσει τὸ ἱμάτιον ἢ τὸν στήμονα ἢ τὴν κρόκην ἐν τοῖς ἐρεοῖς ἢ ἐν τοῖς λινοῖς ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ ἐν ᾧ ἐὰν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡ ἁφή ὅτι λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται

53 ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ μὴ διαχέηται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ

54 καὶ συντάξει ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ πλυνεῖ ἐφ' οὗ ἐὰν ᾖ ἐπ' αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφή καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον

55 καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς μετὰ τὸ πλυθῆναι αὐτὸ τὴν ἁφήν καὶ ἥδε μὴ μετέβαλεν τὴν ὄψιν ἡ ἁφή καὶ ἡ ἁφὴ οὐ διαχεῖται ἀκάθαρτόν ἐστιν ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐστήρισται ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ

56 καὶ ἐὰν ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ᾖ ἀμαυρὰ ἡ ἁφὴ μετὰ τὸ πλυθῆναι αὐτό ἀπορρήξει αὐτὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱματίου ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ στήμονος ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς κρόκης

57 ἐὰν δὲ ὀφθῇ ἔτι ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ λέπρα ἐξανθοῦσά ἐστιν ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐν ᾧ ἐστὶν ἡ ἁφή

58 καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον ἢ ὁ στήμων ἢ ἡ κρόκη ἢ πᾶν σκεῦος δερμάτινον ὃ πλυθήσεται καὶ ἀποστήσεται ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφή καὶ πλυθήσεται τὸ δεύτερον καὶ καθαρὸν ἔσται

678. And an evil and noxious sore formed. This symbolizes interior evils and falsities destructive of every good and truth in the church.

The sore here symbolizes nothing else than evil arising from a life in accordance with this chief point of the doctrine, that faith alone justifies and saves without works of the law. For we are told next that it formed in people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image, which symbolizes that faith and a life in accordance with it. Therefore an evil and noxious sore symbolizes interior evils and falsities destructive of every good and truth in the church. Its being noxious symbolizes its destructiveness, and evil cannot but destroy goodness, and falsity truth.

This is the symbolic meaning of the sore because sores of the body arise from a vitiated condition of the blood or some other internal malignancy. So, too, with sores viewed according to their meaning in the spiritual sense. Those sores arise from lusts and their accompanying delights, which are their internal causes. The evil itself symbolized by the sore, which in its outward expressions seems to be delightful, inwardly conceals in itself lusts, from which it arises and of which it consists.

[2] It should rightly be known, however, that the interior constituents of the human mind in everyone exist in a sequential order and in a concurrent one. They exist in sequential order from its higher or prior constituents to ones lower or subsequent. They exist in concurrent order in their outmost or final expressions, though they range in these from interior elements to outer ones, as from a center to the peripheries. The reality of this is something we showed many times in Angelic Wisdom Regarding Divine Love and Wisdom, nos. 173-281, in a section on degrees. It is apparent from those numbers that the outmost degree embraces all the prior ones.

It follows, therefore, that all lusts for evil exist inwardly in a concurrent order in the evil itself that a person perceives in himself. Every evil that a person perceives in himself exists in its outmost expressions. Consequently, when a person rejects evil, he at the same time rejects also its lusts, though he still does not do this on his own, but from the Lord. A person can indeed on his own reject evil, but not its lusts. Therefore, when he wishes to reject some evil and is fighting against it, he must look to the Lord, since the Lord operates from inmost elements to outmost ones. For He enters through a person's soul and purifies him.

We have said this much to make known that a sore symbolizes evil appearing in its outmost or final expressions, arising from an internal malignancy. This is the case with all people who persuade themselves that faith alone saves, and for that reason do not reflect upon any evil in themselves or look to the Lord.

[3] Sores and wounds symbolize evils in outmost expressions arising from interior ones, or lusts, also in the following places:

From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness... A wound and a scar, and a fresh blow, have not been expressed, have not been bound up, have not been softened with oil. (Isaiah 1:6-7)

...my iniquities have passed through my head... My wounds have putrefied, have decayed, because of my foolishness. (Psalms 38:4-5)

In the day that Jehovah binds up the fracture of His people... He will heal the blow's wound. (Isaiah 30:26)

...if you do not obey the voice of Jehovah..., being careful to do... His commandments... Jehovah will strike you with the sore of Egypt, with hemorrhoids and scabies, and itching... and with an evil sore upon the knees and upon the legs... from which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the top of your head. (Deuteronomy 28:15, 27, 35)

The sore of the boils that broke out on man and beast in Egypt (Exodus 9:8-11) has just this symbolic meaning; for the miracles done there symbolized the evils and falsities with which the Egyptians were taken up.

Moreover, because the Jewish nation engaged in a profanation of the Word, and this is the symbolic meaning of leprosy, therefore leprosy occurred not only in their flesh, but also in their garments, houses, and vessels. The various kinds of profanation were also symbolized by the various evil consequences of leprosy, namely swellings, the sores of the swellings, white and reddish pimples, abscesses, burning feelings, losses of skin pigmentation, scaly patches of skin, and so on (see Leviticus 13). For the church with that nation was a representational church, in which internal things were represented by external ones that corresponded to them.
