How does the miracle of leprosy relate to sin?

Answered in 1 source

The leprous hand represents the corruption of sin in our nature, while being healed signifies Christ's cleansing grace.

Moses' hand becoming leprous after being placed over his heart symbolizes the innate corruption of our sin nature. Just as leprosy renders a person unclean and unfit for worship, our sin nature corrupts us from within. When Moses' hand is healed after being placed back in his bosom, it depicts how Christ cleanses His people from sin through His sacrificial death. The cleansing signifies that, despite our fallen nature, through faith in Christ, we are made clean and accepted by God.
