Leviticus 13:34 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:34

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall,
&c.] That is, according to Ben Gersom, on the thirteenth day from the first inspection of him by the priest: and, behold, [if] the scall be not spread in the skin, nor [be] in
sight deeper than the skin;
neither appears spread on the surface of the skin, nor to have eaten into the flesh under it; also no thin yellow hair, though it is not expressed, for that made a person unclean, though there was no spreading: then the priest shall pronounce him clean;
free from a leprosy: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean;
there was no need to say he shall wash them in water, as Aben Ezra observes, that is supposed; and then he was looked upon as a clean person, and might go into the sanctuary, and have conversation with men, both in a civil and religious way, and not defile anything he sat upon.

Leviticus 13:34 In-Context

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.
35 But if after his cleansing the spot spread again in the skin:
36 He shall seek no more whether the hair be turned yellow, because he is evidently unclean.
