Illness

All sorts of different illnesses and disabilities are mentioned in the Bible: lameness, blindness, deafness, various rashes (such as the Hebrew tzaraath), fever, etc. In reality, the number of diseases in the world of the Bible must have been much greater, as there was not much in the way of health care in the ancient world.
