The Bible is widely considered to be perhaps the most influential text in human history. Judaism and Christianity hold the Bible in high spiritual esteem, due to its basic function for both their respective religions. The Bible constitutes a unique divine anthology, comprised of a series of books meticulously composed by hundreds of authors over hundreds of years (Armstrong 2007). Throughout human history, the stories, lessons, and parables found in the Bible have had a significant impact on societies around the world. One of the most relevant and interesting topics in the Bible is the concept of leprosy. The Bible mentions leprosy in various places, including passages in the Old and New Testaments.

The purification procedure (as described in Leviticus) was an incredibly intense ordeal, and the belief that leprosy could spread to objects such as homes was a common mentality among people of the time (Howard 2007). Besides the extensive writings of Leviticus, other examples of biblical leprosy can be found in the book of Numbers with the infection of Moses' sister Miriam (Numbers 12:10), and in the second book of Chronicles with the leprosy of the king Uzziah (2 Chronicles)). 26.19-21).
