Leviticus 13:35 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:35

But if the scall spread much in his skin after cleansing.
] After he has been declared clean by the priest; for it was possible that it might spread after this, though so much precaution had been used, and so much time taken to observe it: with this compare ( 2 Peter 1:9 ) ( 2:20 ) .

Leviticus 13:35 In-Context

33 the person must shave himself, but he must not shave the sore place. The priest must separate that person from other people for seven more days.

34 On the seventh day the priest must look at the sore. If it has not spread on the skin and it does not seem deeper than the skin, the priest must announce that the person is clean. So the person must wash his clothes and become clean.

35 But if the sore spreads on the skin after the person has become clean,

36 the priest must look at him again. If the sore has spread on the skin, the priest doesn't need to look for the yellowish hair; the person is unclean.

37 But if the priest thinks the sore has stopped spreading, and black hair is growing in it, the sore has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must announce that he is clean.
