Leviticus 13:38 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:38

If a man also, or a woman
One or the other, for the law concerning leprosy respecteth both: have in the skin of their flesh bright spots;
and them only; not any rising or swelling, nor scab, nor scall, nor boil, nor burning, only bright spots, a sort of freckles or morphew: [even] white bright spots;
these, Ben Gersom observes, are white spots, but not plagues; and which were in whiteness inferior to the four species of the plague of leprosy, the white spot, the white swelling, and the scab of each.

Leviticus 13:38 In-Context

36 then the priest shall look on him; and behold, if the scall is spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.

37 But if the scall is in appearance stayed and there is black hair grown up therein, the scall is healed; he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 "If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots,

39 then the priest shall look; and behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white, it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.

40 "And the man whose hair has fallen off his head, he is bald, yet is he clean.
