Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 13:18-44

18-44 The priest is told what judgment to make, if there were any appearance of a leprosy in old sores; and such is the danger of those who having escaped the pollutions of the world are again entangled therein. Or, in a burn by accident, ver. Leviticus 13:24. The burning of strife and contention often occasions the rising and breaking out of that corruption, which proves that men are unclean. Human life lies exposed to many grievances. With what troops of diseases are we beset on every side;... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 13:1-59

Here we have a section (chapters 13, 14) wholly devoted to the subject of leprosy. The disease was dealt with as one which is loathsome, whose tendency is to spread, and which is contagious. The whole community must be zealously safeguarded. Therefore, there must be no carelessness in the method of dealing with leprosy. In the instructions two principles of perpetual importance are manifested. The first is the necessity for guarding the general health of the community and the second is that... read more

It is a suspicious skin disease. It has broken out in the boil.” If a man has a... read more

Leviticus 13:1-Acts : . General Procedure.— Certain classes of signs arouse suspicion. The priest is to inspect.

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 13:19

Somewhat reddish, i.e. white mixed with red, as when blood and milk are mixed together. A late learned writer renders the words thus, white and very bright, or light, which indeed is the true colour of leprosy, to wit, when it is in its perfection, as Exodus 4:6, &c. But here it was only beginning and arising out of a bile, in which together with the white, which was the colour of the leprosy, there might be some mixture of redness arising from the bile, or that part of it which was not yet... read more

Leprosy: its Discobery and TreatmentSUGGESTIVE READINGSGathering into view the circumstantial and concise description of the malady here given; the directions concerning leprosy may be thus analysed and arranged: Symptoms of leprosy:1. Their minuteness: small in their beginnings, trifling skin blemishes or hair defects, scarcely distinguishable at the outset, evasive therefore, and subtle.2. Their intricacy: so resembling other ailments, in some cases rising out of other blemishes and wounds;... read more

DISCOURSE: 125FIRE ON THE ALTAR NOT TO GO OUTLeviticus 13:0. The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar: it shall never go out.IT is a matter of deep regret that religious persons do not enter more fully into the Jewish Ritual, and explore with more accuracy the mysteries contained in it. And I am not sure that Ministers, whose office properly leads them to unfold the sacred volume to their people, are not chargeable with a great measure of this remissness, in that they are not more careful.... read more
