2Ki 5:10,14 Ps 51:2 2Co 7:1 12:8 Heb 9:10 Re 1:5
The plague of leprosy was inflicted immediately from the hand
of God, and came not from natural causes, as other diseases;
and therefore must be managed according to a divine law.
Miriam's leprosy, and Gehazi's and King Uzziah's were all the
punishments of particular sins; and if generally it was so,
no marvel there was so much care taken to distinguish it from
a common distemper, that none might be looked upon as lying
under this extraordinary token of Divine displeasure, but
those that really were so.
