Leviticus 13:25

25 let the preast loke apon it. Yf the heer in that brightnesse be chaunged to white and it also appeare lower than the other skynne, than it is a leprosye that is broken out in the place of the burnynge. And the preast shall make him vncleane, for it is a leprosye.

Leviticus 13:25 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:25

Then the priest shall look upon it
And examine it, whether it has the marks and signs of a leprosy or not, such as follow: behold, [if] the hair in the bright spot be turned white;
which before was black, or of another colour from white, and is now, turned into the whiteness of chalk, as the Targum of Jonathan: and it [be in] sight deeper than the skin;
the same Targum is,

``and its sight or colour is deeper in being white like snow, more than the skin;''

but this respects not the colour of it, as appearing to the sight, but the depth of the spot, going below the skin into the flesh, which, with the change of hair, are the two signs of leprosy, ( Leviticus 13:3 ) ; it [is] a leprosy broken out of the burning;
which sprung from thence, and what that had issued in: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean;
a leper, and to be treated as such: it [is] the plague of leprosy;
being a plain case, according to the rules by which it was to be judged of.

Leviticus 13:25 In-Context

23 But ad yf the glistringe white abyde styll in one place and go no further, then it is but the prynte of the byele, and the preast shal make him cleane.

24 When the skynne of any mas flesh is burnt with fire that it be rawe and there apere in the burnynge a glistringe white that is somwhat redysh or altogether white,

25 let the preast loke apon it. Yf the heer in that brightnesse be chaunged to white and it also appeare lower than the other skynne, than it is a leprosye that is broken out in the place of the burnynge. And the preast shall make him vncleane, for it is a leprosye.

26 But and yf (when the preast loketh on it) he se that there is no white heer in the bryghtenesse and that it is no lower than the other skynne and that it is also blackesh, then let the preast shutt him upp seuen dayes.

27 And yf (when the preast loketh on him the seuenth daye) it be growen abrode in the skynne, lett him make him vncleane: for it is a leprosye.
