Leviticus 13:28 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:28

And if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not in
the skin
If, after being shut up, seven days, it appears that the spot is no larger than, when it was first viewed, but is as it was, and not at all increased: but it [be] somewhat dark;
either not so bright as it was, or more contracted: it [is] a rising of the burning;
or a swelling of it, a swelling which sprung from it, and nothing else: the priest shall pronounce him clean;
from the leprosy, and so set him at liberty to go where he will, and dwell and converse with men as usual: for it [is] an inflammation of the burning;
or an inflammation or blister occasioned by the burning, and no leprosy.

Leviticus 13:28 In-Context

26 But if the colour of the hair be not changed, nor the blemish lower than the other flesh, and the appearance of the leprosy be somewhat obscure: he shall shut him up seven days,
27 And on the seventh day he shall view him. If the leprosy be grown farther in the skin, he shall declare him unclean.
28 But if the whiteness stay in its place, and be not very clear, it is the sore of a burning: and therefore he shall be cleansed, because it is only the scar of a burning.
29 If the leprosy break out in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall see them,
30 And if the place be lower than the other flesh, and the hair yellow, and thinner than usual: he shall declare them unclean, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard;
