Leviticus 13:26 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:26

But if the priest look on it
On the hot burning and bright spot in it, in another person: and, behold, [there be] no white hair on the white spot, and it be no
lower than the [other] skin;
why the word "other" should be supplied I know not, any more than in ( Leviticus 13:21 ) ; but be somewhat dark; or "contracted", (See Gill on Leviticus 13:21); then the priest shall shut him up seven days;
as in the case of the burning boil or hot ulcer, as in ( Leviticus 13:21 ) .

Leviticus 13:26 In-Context

24 Or if in the flesh, in the skin thereof, there is a burning inflammation, and the place of the inflammation become a bright spot white-reddish or white,

25 and the priest look on it, and behold, the hair is turned white in the bright spot, and it looketh deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy which is broken out in the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy.

26 But if the priest look on it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no deeper than the skin, and is pale, the priest shall shut him up seven days.

27 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day, and if it have spread much in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy.

28 But if the bright spot have remained in its place, [and] not spread in the skin, and is pale, it is the rising of the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the inflammation.
