Leviticus Thirteen - Examining Leprosy

"When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body like a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. The priest shall examine the sore on the skin of the body; and if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. Then the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean," Leviticus 13:2-3, NKJV. # ExaminingLeprosy
In ancient times, a person with leprosy was to be brought before the priest, who served as both a spiritual leader and a physician of sorts, for examination, and a declaration about the condition was made as to whether or not they were clean or unclean, healed or infected and if isolation was needed; Jesus Christ, however, who is called our High Priest, has and gives to his servants the power to both add or totally remove a leprous condition.
2 Kings 5:25-27, Matthew 10:5-8 and Luke 5:12-14.
