The Chamber of Lepers: Uses
In this chamber there was a ritual bath, used for the leperŐs immersion on the eight day of the purification process.
This ritual bath apparently served the general public as well prior to their entering the Court since "No person could enter
the Court without having immersed." After immersion, the leper would go up to the Nikanor Gate, to be anointed with the blood and
oil from his offerings.
