Good job OP in once again in displaying you utter lack of biblical understanding.
A little redundant... but yes, it was a deformity... diseases and such are a result of original sin.
Like I always try to explain to you Muppets, the whole bible is all about Jesus, the old testament is telling you about Jesus through symbolism.
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. - John 5:39
For instance when a lamb was sacrificed it had to be without blemish, symbolizing Jesus who was the lamb of god and without sin. Jesus is also the high priest that stands between God and man making Intercession on man's behalf.
Quote:Hebrews 4*emphasis mine*
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
The Priests job was to make intercession for the people (through sacrifices and offerings ect.) and had to be without blemish just like the aforementioned lamb, This is to symbolize Jesus in the role of the High Priest who was without sin, interceding on our behalf.
