Leviticus 13:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:7

But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin
Or "in spreading spread" ^F11; spreads, and proceeds to spread more and more:

after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing:
even after he had been viewed upon the first presentation of him to him, and after he had been twice seen by him by the end of two weeks, in which he was shut up, and after he had been pronounced clean, and had washed his clothes for his purification:

he shall be seen of the priest again;
either he shall go to him of himself, or be brought to him, to be reviewed and pass under afresh examination.

Leviticus 13:7 In-Context

5 On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days.

6 The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.

7 But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.

8 The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.

9 When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
