Leviticus 13:32 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:32

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague,
&c.] To see whether it has got any deeper, or spread any further, and has any hair growing in it, and of what colour, that he might be also able to judge whether it was a leprosy or not: and, behold, [if] the scall spread not;
was neither got into the flesh, nor larger in the skin; and there be in it no yellow hair;
that is, a thin yellow hair, for such only, as Ben Gersom observes, was a sign of leprosy in scalls, as in ( Leviticus 13:30 ) ; and the same writer observes, that "and" is here instead of "or", and to be read, "or there be in it no yellow hair"; since a scall was pronounced unclean, either on account of thin yellow hair, or on account of spreading: and the scall [be] not in sight deeper than the skin;
but be just as it was when first looked upon.

Leviticus 13:32 In-Context

30 the priest is to examine the sore, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease on the head or chin.

31 But if, when the priest examines the sore, it does not seem to be more than skin deep and there is no black hair in it, then the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days.

32 On the seventh day the priest is to examine the sore, and if it has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it and it does not appear to be more than skin deep,

33 then the man or woman must shave themselves, except for the affected area, and the priest is to keep them isolated another seven days.

34 On the seventh day the priest is to examine the sore, and if it has not spread in the skin and appears to be no more than skin deep, the priest shall pronounce them clean. They must wash their clothes, and they will be clean.
