Leviticus 13:18 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:18

The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof, was a
boil
Or hot ulcer, by which, says Maimonides F14 you may understand any stroke by a stone, stick, or iron, or any other thing: and in the Misnah F15, it is asked, what is an ulcer (or boil)? a stroke by wood, stone, pitch, or hot water; all that is from the force of fire is an ulcer: and is healed;
by the use of medicine, and the part, in all appearance, as well and as sound as ever.

Leviticus 13:18 In-Context

16 But if the raw flesh recovers and turns white again, then he shall come to the priest,
17 and the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the diseased person clean; he is clean.
18 "If there is in the skin of one's body a boil and it heals,
19 and in the place of the boil there comes a white swelling or a reddish-white spot, then it shall be shown to the priest.
20 And the priest shall look, and if it appears deeper than the skin and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a case of leprous disease that has broken out in the boil.
