1. Genesis 3:21

   And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 3:212 voices

   “It is said that God made those miserable garments with which the first man was clothed after he had sinned. "For God made skin tunics and clothed Adam and his wife." Therefore, those were tunics of skin taken from animals. For with such as these, it was necessary for the sinner to be dressed. It says, "with skin tunics," which are a symbol of the mortality that he received because of his skin and of his frailty that came from the corruption of the flesh.

   “Unto Adam also, and to his wife,....

2. Exodus 25:5

   ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

   ›Commentary on Exodus 25:52 voices

   “And rams' skins died red,....

   “Rams’ skins dyed red - ערת אילם מאדמים oroth eylim meoddamim, literally, the skins of red rams. It is a fact attested by many respectable travelers, that in the Levant sheep are often to be met with that have red or violet-coloured fleeces. And almost all ancient writers speak of the same thing. Homer describes the rams of Polyphemus as having a violet-coloured fleece. Αρσενες οΐες ησαν εΰτρεφεες, δασυμαλλοι, Καλοι τε, μεγαλοι τε, ιοδνεφες ειρος εχοντες. Odyss., lib. ix., ver. 425. “Strong were the rams, with native purple fair, Well fed, and largest of the fleecy care.” Pope.

   ›Commentary on Leviticus 13:381 voice

   “If a man also, or a woman,.... One or the other, for the law concerning leprosy respecteth both: have in the skin of their flesh bright spots; and them only; not any rising or swelling, nor scab, nor scall, nor boil, nor burning, only bright spots, a sort of freckles or morphew: even white bright spots; these, Ben Gersom observes, are white spots, but not plagues; and which were in whiteness inferior to the four species of the plague of leprosy, the white spot, the white swelling, and the scab of each.

4. Leviticus 13:39

   the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

   ›Commentary on Leviticus 13:392 voices

   “Freckled spot - If Lev 13:12 refers to the Lepra commonis, the Hebrew בהק bôhaq here may denote some kind of eczema, a skin disease of a somewhat similar external character. Lev 13:38, Lev 13:39 would seem more in their natural place between Lev 13:17-18.

6. Deuteronomy 28:27

   The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors and scabs and itch from which you cannot be cured.

   ›Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:272 voices

   “The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt,.... Which some understand of the leprosy, Of that sort of it called "elephantiasis", frequent among the Egyptians; See Gill on Lev 13:2. Thevenot (i) relates, that when the time of the increase of the Nile expires, the Egyptians are attended with sharp prickings in their skin like needles. So Vansleb says (k),"the waters of the Nile cause an itch in the skin, which troubles such as drink of them when the river increases.

   “The Lord will smite thee with the botch - שחין shechin, a violent inflammatory swelling. In Job ii., one of the Hexapla versions renders it ελεφας, the elephantiasis, a disease the most horrid that can possibly afflict human nature. In this disorder, the whole body is covered with a most loathsome scurf; the joints are all preternaturally enlarged, and the skin swells up and grows into folds like that of an elephant, whence the disease has its name.

7. Job 7:5

   My flesh is clothed with worms and encrusted with dirt; my skin is cracked and festering.

   ›Commentary on Job 7:52 voices

   “My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust: my skin is dried up and shrunken. But we shall make out these words more exactly and more applicably, if we go back to the order of the foregoing interpretation. For by sleep the torpor of inaction, and by rising the exercising of action, is represented. And hence this same cause of these pains is brought in immediately afterwards, when it is said, My flesh is clothed with corruption and foulness of dust.

   “My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust,....
