Leviticus 13:15 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:15

And the priest shall see the raw flesh
Or when he sees it, the person being brought to him to be viewed:

and pronounce him to be unclean;
or shall pronounce him to be unclean:

[for] the raw flesh [is] unclean;
made a man so in a ceremonial sense; (See Gill on Leviticus 13:10);

it [is] a leprosy;
wherever any quick raw flesh appears in a swelling.
