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 diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

17 And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.

18 And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

19 And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

20 And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.
