(שְׁחַין, shechin', rendered "botch" in Deuteronomy 28:27; Deuteronomy 28:35), a burning sore or inflamed ulcer of an aggravated description, either local (as in the case of Hezekiah, 2 Kings 20:7; Isaiah 38:21), or covering an extensive surface (as in the case of the Egyptians, Exodus 9:9-11; Deuteronomy 28:27; Deuteronomy 28:35). (See BLAINS). It is also applied to the ulcerated spots indicative of leprosy (Leviticus 13:18-20; Leviticus 13:23), and is the term used to designate the disease of Job (Job 2:7), probably the elephantiasis, or black leprosy. (See LEPROSY).
