Leviticus 13:43 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:43

Then the priest shall look upon it
The white reddish sore:

and, behold, [if] the rising of the sore;
or the swelling of it:

[be] white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead;
(See Gill on Leviticus 13:42):

as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
as in ( Leviticus 13:2 ) ; having the signs of the leprosy there given; anyone of them, excepting the white hair, which in this case could be no sign, there being none: Jarchi's note is, according to the appearance of the leprosy, said in ( Leviticus 13:2 ) ; and what is said in it is, it defiles by four appearances, and is judged in two weeks; but not according to the appearance of the leprosy said of the boil, and burning, which were judged in one week; nor according to the appearance of the scalls, of the place of hair, which do not defile by the four appearances, the rising or swelling, and the scab of it, the bright spot, and the scab of that.

Leviticus 13:43 In-Context

41 and if the hairs fall from the forehead, he is bald, and is clean;

42 else if in the baldness before, either in the baldness behind (but if in the baldness at the front, or in the baldness at the back), white either red colour is bred, or is sprung up,

43 and the priest seeth this, he shall condemn the man, without (any) doubt of (him having) leprosy, which is bred in the baldness.

44 Therefore whoever is defouled with leprosy, and is separated from other men, at the doom of the priest (by the priest's pronouncement),

45 he shall have his clothes unsewed (he shall wear torn clothes), and his head (shall be) bare, and his mouth (shall be) covered with a cloth, [and] he shall cry himself (to be) defouled, and vile;
