Leviticus 13:38 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:38

If a man also, or a woman
One or the other, for the law concerning leprosy respecteth both: have in the skin of their flesh bright spots;
and them only; not any rising or swelling, nor scab, nor scall, nor boil, nor burning, only bright spots, a sort of freckles or morphew: [even] white bright spots;
these, Ben Gersom observes, are white spots, but not plagues; and which were in whiteness inferior to the four species of the plague of leprosy, the white spot, the white swelling, and the scab of each.

Leviticus 13:38 In-Context

36 the priest shall examine you again. If the sore has spread, he need not look for yellowish hairs; you are obviously unclean.

37 But if in the priest's opinion the sore has not spread and healthy hairs are growing in it, the sore has healed, and the priest shall pronounce you ritually clean.

38 When any of you, male or female, have white spots on the skin,

39 the priest shall examine you. If the spots are dull white, it is only a blemish that has broken out on the skin; you are ritually clean.

40 If you lose your hair at the back or the front of your head, this does not make you unclean.
