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 Or if the raw flesh turn again and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest,

17 and the priest shall see him; and behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague; he is clean.

18 "The flesh also in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil and it is healed,

19 and in the place of the boil there be a white rising or a bright spot, white and somewhat reddish, and it be shown to the priest,

20 and if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it is in appearance lower than the skin and the hair thereof is turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
