Leviticus 13:26 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:26

But if the priest look on it
On the hot burning and bright spot in it, in another person: and, behold, [there be] no white hair on the white spot, and it be no
lower than the [other] skin;
why the word "other" should be supplied I know not, any more than in ( Leviticus 13:21 ) ; but be somewhat dark; or "contracted", (See Gill on Leviticus 13:21); then the priest shall shut him up seven days;
as in the case of the burning boil or hot ulcer, as in ( Leviticus 13:21 ) .

Leviticus 13:26 In-Context

24 "When there is a burn on the skin of one's body produced by fire, and the patch made raw by the burn becomes a reddish-white or white spot,

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

26 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in the spot and it is not beneath the skin but is faded, the priest must quarantine him seven days.

27 The priest will reexamine him on the seventh day. If it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.

28 But if the spot has remained where it was and has not spread on the skin but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn. The priest is to pronounce him clean, for it is [only] the scar from the burn.
