Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Job was covered with boils.

Job 2:7-8 –  Job 2:11-13  –  Job 7:4,5  –  Job 17:1  –  Job 19:17-20  –  Job 30:17,18 & 27-30

Fact of the Day 

No!  The Hebrew root word is to burn and was translated sometimes as boil and sometimes as leprosy. 

The disease Job had was elephantiasis, a marked and strongly developed form of leprosy. This disease creates an intense HEAT, a burning and ulcerous swelling. It is leprosy in its most terrible form, taking its name from the appearance of the body, which is covered with a knotty, cancerous bark like the hide of an elephant.  He was so deformed by his disease, his friends did not recognize him.

Read about this disease in dictionaries and compare it with the scriptures where it describes his disease, as noted above.

Here are some pictures of people with this form of leprosy: 

No wonder Job wanted to die.
