What does Leviticus 13:36 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Leviticus 13:36
Then the priest shall look on him
Again, and which is no less than the fourth time; for
notwithstanding his being pronounced clean, he was still subject
to the inspection of the priest, if any alteration appeared:
and, behold, if the scall be spread in the
skin;
which was a certain sign of a leprosy: the priest shall not
seek for yellow hair;
or be solicitous about that, whether there is any or not, for
either one or the other of these signs were sufficient to
determine the case: he [is] unclean;
and so to be pronounced.
