Leviticus 13:15 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:15

And the priest shall see the raw flesh
Or when he sees it, the person being brought to him to be viewed:

and pronounce him to be unclean;
or shall pronounce him to be unclean:

[for] the raw flesh [is] unclean;
made a man so in a ceremonial sense; (See Gill on Leviticus 13:10);

it [is] a leprosy;
wherever any quick raw flesh appears in a swelling.

Leviticus 13:15 In-Context

13 the priest shall behold him, and he shall deem him to be holden with the cleanest leprosy, for all the skin is turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean. (the priest shall examine him, and he shall pronounce him to be clean, for all the skin hath turned white, and so the man shall be clean.)
14 Soothly when quick flesh appeareth in him, he shall be defouled (But when raw flesh appeareth on him, he shall be pronounced defiled, or unclean,)
15 by the doom of the priest, and he shall be areckoned among unclean men; for quick flesh is unclean, if it is sprinkled with leprosy. (by the priest, and he shall be reckoned among the unclean; for raw flesh is unclean, if it is sprinkled with leprosy.)
16 That if the (raw) flesh is turned again into whiteness, and covereth all the man, (But when the raw flesh healeth, and turneth white, the man shall go to the priest,)
17 the priest shall behold him, and shall deem that he is clean. (and the priest shall examine him, and shall pronounce that he is clean.)
