Leviticus 13:32 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:32

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague,
&c.] To see whether it has got any deeper, or spread any further, and has any hair growing in it, and of what colour, that he might be also able to judge whether it was a leprosy or not: and, behold, [if] the scall spread not;
was neither got into the flesh, nor larger in the skin; and there be in it no yellow hair;
that is, a thin yellow hair, for such only, as Ben Gersom observes, was a sign of leprosy in scalls, as in ( Leviticus 13:30 ) ; and the same writer observes, that "and" is here instead of "or", and to be read, "or there be in it no yellow hair"; since a scall was pronounced unclean, either on account of thin yellow hair, or on account of spreading: and the scall [be] not in sight deeper than the skin;
but be just as it was when first looked upon.

Leviticus 13:32 In-Context

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;

31 But if he perceive the place of the spot is equal with the flesh that is near it, and the hair black: he shall shut him up seven days,

32 And on the seventh day he shall look upon it. If the spot be not grown, and the hair keep its colour, and the place of the blemish be even with the other flesh:

33 The man shall be shaven all but the place of the spot: and he shall be shut up other seven days.

34 If on the seventh day the evil seem to have stayed in its place, and not lower than the other flesh, he shall cleanse him: and his clothes being washed he shall be clean.
