Leviticus 13:22 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:22

And if it spread much abroad in the skin
Upon viewing it on the seventh day, though it is not expressed, the swelling or bright spot; or "in spreading spread"; (See Gill on Leviticus 13:7); which Ben Gersom interprets, not of the skin of the flesh, but of the ulcer: then the priest shall pronounce him unclean;
even though there are no white hairs in it, nor is it lower than the skin, yet is not at a stand or contracted, but spreading: it [is] a plague;
or stroke; it is one sort of a leprosy, and such an one as makes a man unclean in a ceremonial sense.

21 But if the priest shall look on it, and behold, [there are] no white hairs in it, and [if] it [is] not lower than the skin, but somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

22 And if it hath spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague.

23 But if the bright spot shall stay in its place, [and] not spread, it [is] a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 Or if there [is any] flesh, in the skin of which [there is] a hot burning, and the live [flesh] that burneth hath a white bright spot, somewhat reddish or white;
