Leviticus 13:22 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:22

And if it spread much abroad in the skin
Upon viewing it on the seventh day, though it is not expressed, the swelling or bright spot; or "in spreading spread"; (See Gill on Leviticus 13:7); which Ben Gersom interprets, not of the skin of the flesh, but of the ulcer: then the priest shall pronounce him unclean;

or stroke; it is one sort of a leprosy, and such an one as makes a man unclean in a ceremonial sense.

21 But if the priest look, and behold there is no white hair on it, and it be not below the skin of the flesh, and it be dark-coloured; then the priest shall separate him seven days.

22 But if it manifestly spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy; it has broken out in the ulcer.

23 But if the bright spot should remain in its place and not spread, it is the scar of the ulcer; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 And if the flesh be in his skin fiery inflammation, and there should be in his skin the part which is healed of the inflammation, bright, clear, and white, suffused with red or very white;
