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 "Or if the body receives a burn on its skin by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white or white,

25 then the priest shall examine it; and indeed if the hair of the bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is leprosy broken out in the burn. Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.

26 But if the priest examines it, and indeed there are no white hairs in the bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

27 And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has at all spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.

28 But if the bright spot stays in one place, and has not spread on the skin, but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn. The priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
