Leviticus 13:22 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:22

even though there are no white hairs in it, nor is it lower than the skin, yet is not at a stand or contracted, but spreading: it [is] a plague;
or stroke; it is one sort of a leprosy, and such an one as makes a man unclean in a ceremonial sense.
