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 a person has a burn on his skin and the raw flesh turns into a reddish-white or white shiny spot,

25 the priest is to examine it. If the hair has turned white in the shiny spot and it looks like it's more than skin deep, a serious skin disease has erupted in the area of the burn. The priest will pronounce him unclean; it is a serious skin disease and infectious.

26 But if on examination there is no white hair in the shiny spot and it doesn't look to be more than skin deep but has faded, the priest will put him in quarantine for seven days.

27 On the seventh day the priest will reexamine him. If by then it has spread over the skin, the priest will diagnose him as unclean; it is a serious skin disease and infectious.

28 If by that time the shiny spot has stayed the same and has not spread but has faded, it is only a swelling from the burn. The priest will pronounce him clean; it's only a scar from the burn.
