11 Lepra es envejecida en la piel de su carne; y le dará por inmundo el sacerdote, y no le encerrará, porque es inmundo.

Levítico 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:11

It [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh
An inveterate one, of long standing and continuance, an obstinate one, not to be cured by medicine; as this sort of leprosy was, and therefore the person was sent not to a physician, but to the priest: the leprosy of sin is an old disease, brought by man into the world with him, and continues with him from his youth upwards, and nothing but the grace of God and blood of Christ can remove it:

and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up;
there being no doubt at all of it being a leprosy, and of his uncleanness, and therefore no need to shut him up for further examination, but to turn him out of the camp till his purification was over:

for he [is] unclean;
in a ceremonial sense, and was obliged to the law for cleansing, such as after given.

Levítico 13:11 In-Context

9 Cuando hubiere llaga de lepra en el hombre, será traído al sacerdote;

10 Y el sacerdote mirará, y si pareciere tumor blanco en la piel, el cual haya mudado el color del pelo, y se descubre asimismo la carne viva,

11 Lepra es envejecida en la piel de su carne; y le dará por inmundo el sacerdote, y no le encerrará, porque es inmundo.

12 Mas si brotare la lepra cundiendo por el cutis, y ella cubriere toda la piel del llagado desde su cabeza hasta sus pies, á toda vista de ojos del sacerdote;

13 Entonces el sacerdote le reconocerá; y si la lepra hubiere cubierto toda su carne, dará por limpio al llagado: hase vuelto toda ella blanca; y él es limpio.
