Levítico 13:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:4

If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh
The Targum of Jonathan is, white as chalk in the skin of his flesh; but other Jewish writers make the whiteness of the bright spot to be the greatest of all, like that of snow; (See Gill on Leviticus 13:2):

and in sight [be] not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof
be not turned white;
though it be a bright spot, and be very white, yet these two marks not appearing, it cannot be judged a leprosy, at most it is only suspicious: wherefore

then the priest, shall shut up [him that hath] the plague seven
days;
in whom the bright spot is, and of whom there is a suspicion of the plague of leprosy, but it is not certain; and therefore, in order to take time, and get further knowledge, the person was to be shut up from all company and conversation for the space of seven days; by which time it might be supposed, as Ben Gersom observes, that the case and state of the leprosy (if it was one) would be altered; and Aben Ezra remarks, that most diseases change or alter on the seventh day.

Levítico 13:4 In-Context

2 «Cuando a una persona le salga en la piel alguna inflamación, erupción o mancha blancuzca que pueda convertirse en infección, se le llevará al sacerdote Aarón, o a alguno de sus descendientes los sacerdotes.
3 El sacerdote examinará la llaga. Si el vello en la parte afectada se ha puesto blanco y la llaga se ve más hundida que la piel, entonces se trata de una enfermedad infecciosa. Después de examinar a la persona, el sacerdote la declarará impura.
4 »Si la mancha blancuzca no se ve más hundida que la piel, ni el vello se le ha puesto blanco, el sacerdote aislará a la persona enferma durante siete días,
5 y al séptimo día la examinará de nuevo. Si juzga que la infección no ha seguido extendiéndose sobre la piel, aislará a esa persona otros siete días.
6 Cumplidos los siete días, el sacerdote la examinará otra vez, y si el mal no se ha extendido sobre la piel sino que ha disminuido, la declarará pura. No era más que una erupción, así que la persona enferma se lavará la ropa y quedará pura.
