Verse 21

21. Touched me נגע , naga’h. The leprosy was called the stroke ( nega’h) of God. (See note Job 2:8.) The most touching appeal of the leper is, even at the present day, in vain. Though he be the greatest personage, he is removed at least a mile or two from the encampment, where a small black hair tent is put up for him, while an old woman who has no relations living is given him for a nurse until he dies. No one visits him, not oven his nearest relations. He is cast off as muqatal Allah, “slain of God.” Wetzstein.
