Leviticus 13:44

44 quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra et separatus ad arbitrium sacerdotis

Leviticus 13:44 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:44

He is a leprous man, he [is] unclean
And so to be pronounced and accounted; only a leprous man is mentioned, there being no leprous women, having this sort of leprosy, their hair not falling off, or they becoming bald, usually; unless, as Ben Gersom observes, in a manner strange and wonderful:

the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean;
as in any other case of leprosy:

his plague [is] in his head;
an emblem of such who have imbibed bad notions and erroneous principles, and are therefore, like the leper, to be avoided and rejected from the communion of the saints, ( Titus 3:10 ) ; and shows that men are accountable for their principles as well as practices, and liable to be punished for them.

Leviticus 13:44 In-Context

42 sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus

43 et hoc sacerdos viderit condemnabit eum haut dubiae leprae quae orta est in calvitio

44 quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra et separatus ad arbitrium sacerdotis

45 habebit vestimenta dissuta caput nudum os veste contectum contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit

46 omni tempore quo leprosus est et inmundus solus habitabit extra castra
