OK. This part will bethe closing of the whole leprousy topic talked about in the Bible. We will go through 2 passages: Num 12:9-10 and 2Kin 5:27 like I said before. And after that, that'll be it for the whole leprousy issue. Well...let's get down to it. We will start with Num 12:9-10.

Now during this time, the Israelites are still travelling through the Wilderness (Desert). And after some time, Aaron (Moses' brother) and Miriam (Moses' sister) saw how Moses was married to an Ethiopian woman... and they basically didn't like that. Y'all know, it was one of those situations, where a people ("race") wouldn't like their people ("race") mixing with other people ("races"). Aaron and Miriam was like that. Now Aaron and Miriam didn't necessarily like Moses' wife because she was "Black" woman, (remember: the Israelites were a "Black" people too like the Bible describes them) but because Moses' wife (and her Ethiopian people) had a different culture than the Israelites. So Aaron and Miriam started talking about them because of that. The way Aaron and Miriam was acting made our Creator a little angry at them. Now when the Bible calls our Creator "LORD" or "God", I will put them in quotation marks because our Creator was never called by titles such as "LORD" or "God" in the Biblical Times. Our Creator was known by proper and good titles, but it wasn't "LORD" or "God." That's awhole different topic though. Let's start with Num 12:9-10 now. Here is what it says:

9 And the anger of "the LORD" was kindled against them; and he departed. 10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

The Almighty saw how Miriam didn't like Moses' Ethiopian wife, and he could have made her look "Black" like the Ethiopian woman, but Miriam already looked "Black", so he made her look "White" instead (the exact opposite of what her skin color already was). I bet when Aaron first saw his sister Miriam leprous, he was like "AHHHH!!!!" LOL. Because he never saw anything like that happen to anybody. The Almighty made Miriam look like this young girl HERE. If Miriam already looked "White", Verse 10 wouldn't make sense, correct? But since we now know how the Ancient Israelites looked, it makes a lot more sense doesn't it?

Now let's go to 1 more passage about leprousy (vitiligo) in 2Kin 5:27. Leprousy happened to an Israelite man called "Naaman." I don't know if Naaman was an Israelite king or not, but I know he was struck with leprousy (vitiligo) also LOL. Here is what it says:

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

Here is another passage, where an Israelite person was struck with leprousy and it made him look "white as snow." I don't think I need to keep repeating the same thing over and over.

So...that was the end of the whole "leprousy" topic. We are finished with that now, but in the next parts we will go through how the Israelites' hair texture was like. Did these "Black-skinned" Israelites have "curly hair," "kinky hair," "straight hair," or "wavy hair?" These questions will be answered by the Bible in Part 9.
