Leviticus 14:57 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:57

To teach when [it is] unclean, and when it is clean
A man, his garment, or his house; for it respects them all, as Aben Ezra observes; which was the business of the priests to teach men, and they by the above laws and rules were instructed how to judge of cases, and by which they were capable of pronouncing persons or things clean or unclean:

this [is] the law of leprosy;
respecting every sort of it, and which is very remarkably enlarged upon.

Leviticus 14:57 In-Context

55 Of the leprosy of garments and houses,
56 Of a scar and of blisters breaking out of a shining spot, and when the colours are diversely changed:
57 That it may be known when a thing is clean or unclean.
