2 Corinthians 6:17
יז עַל כֵּן ״צְאוּ מִתּוֹכָם וְהִבָּרוּ, נְאֻם יהוה, וְטָמֵא אַל–תִּגָּעוּ״; (ישעיהו נב׳ יא׳–יב׳) וַאֲנִי אֲקַבֵּל אֶתְכֶם.
2 Corinthians 6:17
6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, (KJV)
Paul according to 2 Corinthians 6:17 encourages believers to separate themselves from the unclean. The Torah does emphasize the importance of purity and separation from unclean things. In the Torah, leprosy, known as “tzaraat,” is a specific condition that causes a person to become unclean. This condition is detailed in Leviticus 13 and 14, and it involves a change in the color and texture of the skin, hair, clothing, or even the walls of one’s house. Interestingly, the Torah does not explicitly link leprosy with sin. However, later Jewish thought and interpretation often associated leprosy with spiritual maladies, such as gossip or arrogance. This is seen in several stories in the Tanakh, such as Miriam’s leprosy after she spoke against Moses (Numbers 12:1-15), and King Uzziah’s leprosy after he arrogantly burned incense in the temple (2 Chronicles 26:16-21). In these cases, leprosy is seen as a physical manifestation of a spiritual problem, a divine punishment for sin. Paul suggests if we touch (make a part of our lives) sinful things, the Lord will not receive us. There are many scriptures that support this type of interpretation. The Torah has not passed away!
