Leviticus 13:23 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:23

But if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not,
&c.] Continues as it was when first viewed: it [is] a burning boil;
but not a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall pronounce him clean;
as clear of a leprosy, and so not bound by the law of it, though attended with an inflammation or burning ulcer.

Leviticus 13:23 In-Context

21 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.

22 If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.

23 But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,

25 the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
