Leviticus 13:35 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:35

But if the scall spread much in his skin after cleansing.
] After he has been declared clean by the priest; for it was possible that it might spread after this, though so much precaution had been used, and so much time taken to observe it: with this compare ( 2 Peter 1:9 ) ( 2:20 ) .

Leviticus 13:35 In-Context

33 the person will shave everything except the scab. The priest will put the person with the scab in isolation for another seven days.

34 On the seventh day the priest will examine the scab again. If the scab has not spread on the skin and does not look deeper than the rest of the skin, the priest must declare him clean. When he has washed his clothes, he will be clean.

35 But if the scab spreads after the person has been declared clean,

36 the priest will make another examination. If the scab has spread on the skin, the priest does not have to look for yellow hair. The person is unclean.

37 But if he sees that the scab hasn't spread and black hair grows on it, the scab is healed. The person is clean, so the priest must declare him clean.
