Leviticus 13:35 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:35

But if the scall spread much in his skin after cleansing.
] After he has been declared clean by the priest; for it was possible that it might spread after this, though so much precaution had been used, and so much time taken to observe it: with this compare ( 2 Peter 1:9 ) ( 2:20 ) .

Leviticus 13:35 In-Context

33 then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.

34 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.

35 If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,

36 the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.

37 If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.
