Levítico 13:33 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:33

He shall be shaven
His head or beard, where the scall was, as Aben Ezra; and so Ben Gersom, who adds, the law is not solicitous whether this shaving is by a priest or not; so it seems any one might shave him: but the scall shall he not shave;
that is, the hair that is in it, but that was to continue and grow, that the colour of it might be easily discerned at the end of seven other days; according to the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, he was to shave round about it, but not that itself; Jarchi says, he was to leave two hairs near it ^F21, that he might know whether it spread; for if it spread it would go over the hairs, and into the part that was shaven; when it would be a clear case it was a spreading leprosy: now, that there might be an opportunity of observing this, whether it would or not, the following method was to be taken: and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall seven days
more;
by which time it would be seen whether there was any increase or decrease, or whether at a stand, and of what colour the hair was, by which judgment might be made of the case.

Levítico 13:33 In-Context

31 Mas, se quando o sacerdote examinar o sinal de sarna este não parecer mais profundo do que a pele e não houver pelo escuro nela, então o sacerdote porá a pessoa infectada em isolamento por sete dias.

32 No sétimo dia o sacerdote examinará a parte afetada e, se a sarna não tiver se espalhado e não houver pelo amarelado nela e não parecer mais profunda do que a pele,

33 a pessoa rapará os pelos, exceto na parte afetada, e o sacerdote a porá em isolamento por mais sete dias.

34 No sétimo dia o sacerdote examinará a sarna e, se não tiver se espalhado mais e não parecer mais profunda do que a pele, o sacerdote declarará pura a pessoa. Esta lavará suas roupas e estará pura.

35 Mas, se a sarna se espalhar pela pele depois que a pessoa for declarada pura,
