Leviticus 13:53 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:53

And if the priest shall look
On the seventh day as before, after shutting up:

and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the
warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
but is at an entire stay, that it may be hoped it is not a fretting leprosy: so when men do not proceed to more ungodliness, as wicked men commonly do, but there is a stop put to their vicious life and conversation, it is an hopeful sign of future good.

Leviticus 13:53 In-Context

51 And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

52 And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

53 And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather,

54 Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more:

55 And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.
