And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
Cuando el sumo sacerdote Azarías y todos los demás sacerdotes lo miraron, vieron que tenía lepra en la frente. Rápidamente lo obligaron a salir del templo, y él mismo se apuró a irse porque el SEÑOR lo había herido con esta enfermedad.
Los sacerdotes expulsaron inmediatamente al rey del templo cuando vieron que el SEÑOR lo había castigado con lepra.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of ancient Judah, King Uzziah had a successful reign marked by military victories and building projects, but his pride led him to overstep his authority by entering the Temple to burn incense, a role reserved solely for the priests as per God's law. This act defied the clear separation of duties outlined in the Mosaic covenant, reflecting the cultural emphasis on priestly holiness and the king's role as a secular leader. As a result, God immediately struck him with leprosy, illustrating the severe consequences of disregarding divine boundaries.
