- The distinction of clean and unclean animals, (see note on Le
- 11:2) existed even before the flood, though it probably then
- only related to sacrifices; but at this time we find there
- were very particular laws enacted respecting the diet of the
- people, and the ceremonial uncleanness contracted by touching
- the carcases of unclean animals. The reasons for the
- enactment of these laws seem to be--1. As a test of
- obedience, and to teach the Israelites habits of self-denial,
- and the government of their appetites. 2. To keep them
- distinct from other nations, and consequently from their
- idolatrous usages, by throwing hindrances in the way of their
- social intercourse; for these distinctions were applicable
- both to persons and things. The Canaanites not only ate the
- animals prohibited by Moses, which we usually eat, but others
- also, among which dogs were one. Besides, many of those
- declared unclean were sacred among the heathen, and
- sacrificed to their gods. 3. Because those prohibited were
- innutritive and unwholesome; as the swine, the flesh of which
- being strong and difficult to digest, affords a very gross
- aliment, and produces, especially in hot climates, cutaneous,
- scrophulous, and scorbutic disorders, as the itch, leprosy,
- etc.

- {Tzaräâth,} the Leprosy, from the Greek [lepra,] from [lepis,]
- a scale; so called, because in this disease the body is
- covered with thin white scales, so as to give it the
- appearance of snow. The leprosy is a dreadful, contagious
- disorder, common in Egypt and Syria, and generally manifests
- itself at first in the manner described in the text. Its
- commencement is imperceptible; there appearing only a few
- reddish spots on the skin, which are not attended with pain or
- any other symptom, but cannot be removed. It increases
- imperceptibly, and continues for some years to be more and
- more manifest. The spots become larger, spread over the whole
- skin, and are sometimes rather raised, though generally flat.
- When it increases the upper part of the nose swells, the
- nostrils distend, the nose becomes soft, swellings appear on
- the under jaws, the eyebrows are elevated, the ears grow
- thick, the ends of the fingers, feet, and toes, swell, the
- nails grow scaly, the joints of the hands and feet separate,
- the palms of hands and soles of the feet are ulcerated, and in
- its last stage the patient becomes horrible, and falls to
- pieces.

- * if the leprosy.
- It may seem strange that the partial leper should be
- pronounced unclean, and the person totally covered with the
- disease clean. This was probably owing to a different
- species or stage of the disease; the partial being
- contagious, the total not. That there are two different
- species, or degrees, of the disease described here, is
- sufficiently evident: in one, the person was all covered
- with a white enamelled scurf; in the other, there was a quick
- raw flesh in the risings. On this account, the one was
- deemed unclean, or contagious, the other not; for contact
- with the quick raw flesh would be more likely to communicate
- the disease, than the touch of the hard dry scurf. The ichor
- proceeding from the former, when brought into contact with
- the flesh of another, would soon be taken into constitution
- by means of the absorbent vessels; but where the surface was
- perfectly dry; the absorbent vessels of another, coming in
- contact with the diseased man, could imbibe nothing, and
- there was consequently but little or no danger of infection.
- This is the learned Dr. Mead's view of the subject; who thus
- accounts for the circumstances mentioned in the text.

- * a freckled spot.
- The word {bohak,} from the Syriac {behak,} to be white, or
- shining, here rendered "a freckled spot," is used by the
- Arabs to denote a kind of leprosy, of which Niebuhr says,
- "{Bohak} is neither contagious nor dangerous. A black boy at
- Mocha, who was affected with this eruption, had here and
- there upon his body white spots. We were told that the use
- of sulphur had relieved this boy for a time, but had not
- entirely removed the disease." He adds subsequently from
- Forskal's papers, "The Arabs call a sort of leprosy, in which
- some little spots shew themselves here and there on the body,
- {behaq;} and it is without doubt the same as is named
- {bohak,} (Le ch. 13). They believe it to be so far from
- contagious, that one may sleep with a person affected without
- danger." "On the 15th day of May, 1765, I myself first saw
- the {Bohak} leprosy in a Jew at Mocha. The spots in this
- disease are of an unequal size. They do not shine; are not
- perceptibly higher than the skin; and do not change the
- colour of the hair. Their colour is an obscure white,
- inclining to red. The rest of the skin of the patient was
- darker than that of the people of the country in general; but
- the spots were not so white as the skin of an European, when
- not sun-burnt. The spots in this leprosy do not appear on
- the hands, or near the navel, but on the neck and face, yet
- not on that part where the hair grows thick. They gradually
- spread, and continue sometimes only about two months, but in
- some cases one or two years, and then disappear by degrees,
- of themselves. This disorder is neither contagious nor
- hereditary, nor does it occasion any inconvenience." Hence a
- person infected with the {bohak} is declared clean.
