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 is to be shaved, except for the crusted area itself, and the cohen is to isolate him for seven more days.

34 On the seventh day the cohen is to examine the crusted area; and if he sees that the crusted area has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin around it, then the cohen is to declare him clean; he is to wash his clothes and be clean.

35 But if the crusted area spreads after his purification,

36 then the cohen is to examine him; and if he sees that the crusted area has spread on the skin, the cohen is not to look for yellow hair; he is unclean.

37 But if the crusted area's appearance doesn't change, and black hair grows up in it, then the crusted area is healed; he is clean; and the cohen is to declare him clean.
