Levítico 13:12

12 Mas si brotare la lepra cundiendo por la piel, y la lepra cubriere toda la piel del llagado desde su cabeza hasta sus pies, a toda vista de ojos del sacerdote

Levítico 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:12

And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin
Or, if flowering it flowers ^F13; the man that has it on him looks like a plant or tree covered with white flowers, being spread all over him in white swellings, bright spots or scabs, as it follows:

and the leprosy cover all the skin of [him that hath] the plague, from
his head even to his foot;
such an one as the leper was that came to Christ for healing, said to be full of leprosy, ( Luke 5:12 ) ; and such in a mystical sense is every sinner, whether sensible of it or not, even from the Crown of the head to the sole of the foot, full of the wounds, bruises, and putrefying sores of sin, ( Isaiah 1:6 ) ;

wheresoever the priest looketh;
that is, he cannot look any where upon any part of him but he sees the signs of the leprosy on him; and from whence the Jewish writers gather, that a priest that inspects leprous persons ought to have a clear sight, and to have both his eyes, and that the inspection should not be made in a dark house.

Levítico 13:12 In-Context

10 y el sacerdote mirará, y si pareciere hinchazón blanca en la piel, el cual haya vuelto el pelo blanco, y se descubre asimismo la carne viva en la hinchazón

11 lepra es envejecida en la piel de su carne; y le dará por inmundo el sacerdote, y no le encerrará, porque es inmundo

12 Mas si brotare la lepra cundiendo por la piel, y la lepra cubriere toda la piel del llagado desde su cabeza hasta sus pies, a toda vista de ojos del sacerdote

13 entonces el sacerdote le reconocerá; y si la lepra hubiere cubierto toda su carne, dará por limpio al llagado; se ha vuelto toda ella blanca; y él es limpio

14 Mas el día que apareciere en él la carne viva, será inmundo
