The people of the ancient world simply did not understand the causes of illnesses and disease. They particularly thought that unsightly and disfiguring skin diseases, commonly grouped together as 'leprosy', were some form of punishment from the gods or God. Thus the leper must have committed some sin which needed to be forgiven for the disease to be cured.
