Leviticus 13:15 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:15

And the priest shall see the raw flesh
Or when he sees it, the person being brought to him to be viewed:

and pronounce him to be unclean;
or shall pronounce him to be unclean:

[for] the raw flesh [is] unclean;
made a man so in a ceremonial sense; (See Gill on Leviticus 13:10);

it [is] a leprosy;
wherever any quick raw flesh appears in a swelling.

Leviticus 13:15 In-Context

13 The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean.
14 But when the live flesh shall appear in him:
15 Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean. For live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean.
16 And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man:
17 The priest shall view him, and shall judge him to be clean.
