Scurvy
Scurvy in the King James Version is not the sailor’s illness. It is an old word for a rough, scabby skin condition. Leviticus lists it among the blemishes that kept a man from serving as priest and an animal from the altar: “Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed” (Leviticus 22:22). Leviticus 13 describes how a priest examines a rising or a scab, looks again on the seventh day, and pronounces the person clean or unclean. Deuteronomy 28:27 counts “the scab” and “the itch” among afflictions that could not be healed.

Leviticus
When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
Deuteronomy
The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
