Leviticus 13:1

And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron
Aaron is addressed again, though left out in the preceding law, because the laws concerning leprosy chiefly concerned the priests, whose business it was to judge of it, and cleanse from it; and so Ben Gersom observes, mention is made of Aaron here, because to him and his sons belonged the affair of leprosies, to pronounce unclean or clean, to shut up or set free, and, as Aben Ezra says, according to his determination were all the plagues or strokes of a man, who should be declared clean or unclean:

Leviticus 13:1 In-Context

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 If any man should have in the skin of his flesh a bright clear spot, and there should be in the skin of his flesh a plague of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests.

3 And the priest shall view the spot in the skin of his flesh; and the hair in the spot be changed white, and the appearance of the spot be below the skin of the flesh, it is a plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look upon it, and pronounce him unclean.

4 But if the spot be clear and white in the skin of his flesh, yet the appearance of it be not deep below the skin, and its hair have not changed white hair, but it is dark, then the priest shall separate the spot seven days;

5 and the priest shall look on the spot the seventh day; and, behold, the spot remains before him, the spot has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall separate him the second time seven days.
