Strong's Lexicon bahereth: Bright spot, white spot Original Word: בֹּהֶרֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּהַר (bahar), meaning "to be bright" or "to shine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3014: λέπρα (lepra) - leprosy, a term used in the New Testament to describe a similar condition of skin disease. Usage: The term "bahereth" refers to a bright or white spot on the skin, often associated with skin diseases, particularly leprosy, as described in the Levitical laws. It is used in the context of diagnosing skin conditions that may render a person ceremonially unclean. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the community placed significant emphasis on ritual purity, and skin diseases were of particular concern. Leviticus 13 provides detailed instructions for priests to diagnose and manage skin conditions, including "bahereth," to prevent the spread of disease and maintain the community's ritual cleanliness. The presence of a "bahereth" could lead to a person being declared unclean, affecting their social and religious life.
