Leprosy was no joke and sounds like an awful disease. Similar to sin, leprosy starts small and just spreads bringing about only death.

In these times people with leprosy were sent away and treated pretty much like they were already dead and yet Jesus never did that, Jesus often walked amonst these people and healed them. Again, just like sin Jesus is the only cure for leprosy and the only way to make us clean.

And with the dangers of mildew recognized even in our modern day, how important regulations are for that as well. How practical God is as well as spiritual and powerful!
