Leviticus 13:38 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:38

If a man also, or a woman
One or the other, for the law concerning leprosy respecteth both: have in the skin of their flesh bright spots;
and them only; not any rising or swelling, nor scab, nor scall, nor boil, nor burning, only bright spots, a sort of freckles or morphew: [even] white bright spots;
these, Ben Gersom observes, are white spots, but not plagues; and which were in whiteness inferior to the four species of the plague of leprosy, the white spot, the white swelling, and the scab of each.

Leviticus 13:38 In-Context

36 then the priest shall look at him, and if the scale has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellowish hair; he is unclean.
37 "If in his sight the scale has remained, however, and black hair has grown in it, the scale has healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 "When a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of the body, even white bright spots,
39 then the priest shall look, and if the bright spots on the skin of their bodies are a faint white, it is eczema that has broken out on the skin; he is clean.
40 "Now if a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald; he is clean.
