Levítico 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:12

And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin
Or, if flowering it flowers ^F13; the man that has it on him looks like a plant or tree covered with white flowers, being spread all over him in white swellings, bright spots or scabs, as it follows:

and the leprosy cover all the skin of [him that hath] the plague, from
his head even to his foot;
such an one as the leper was that came to Christ for healing, said to be full of leprosy, ( Luke 5:12 ) ; and such in a mystical sense is every sinner, whether sensible of it or not, even from the Crown of the head to the sole of the foot, full of the wounds, bruises, and putrefying sores of sin, ( Isaiah 1:6 ) ;

wheresoever the priest looketh;
that is, he cannot look any where upon any part of him but he sees the signs of the leprosy on him; and from whence the Jewish writers gather, that a priest that inspects leprous persons ought to have a clear sight, and to have both his eyes, and that the inspection should not be made in a dark house.

Levítico 13:12 In-Context

10 quien la examinará. Si ocurre que la inflamación y el vello se han puesto blancos, y se ve la carne viva,

11 se trata de una infección crónica. El sacerdote declarará impura a tal persona. Pero no hará falta aislarla otra vez, porque ya se sabe que es impura.

12 »Si la infección se ha extendido sobre la piel de tal manera que, hasta donde el sacerdote pueda ver, cubre toda la piel de la persona enferma,

13 entonces el sacerdote la examinará. Si ve que la infección le cubre todo el cuerpo, la declarará pura. Esa persona es pura porque todo el cuerpo se le ha puesto blanco.

14 Pero será impura en el momento en que le aparezca una llaga ulcerosa.
