Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 13:2-8

Serious skin disease apparently began with some sort of swelling or a shiny patch on the skin (Leviticus 13:2). Serious skin disease resulted in uncleanness, but less important conditions might not. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 13:1-59

Uncleanness connected with LeprosyIt is tolerably certain that the leprosy of the OT. is not the leprosy of the Middle Ages, which is still to be found in the East. The latter is a terrible and loathsome disease, called elephantiasis, in consequence of which the skin thickens, the features are distorted, and the very limbs mortify and drop off from the body. The leprosy of the Bible is a skin disease, known as psoriasis, in which the skin and hair grow white, and which is accompanied with scab... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 13:3

(3) When the hair in the plague is turned white.—Better, and the hair in the plagued spot, &c. The first symptom indicating the existence of the disorder is that the hair, which is generally jet-black among the Hebrews, turns white on the affected spot. The authorities during the second Temple defined it that there must at least be two hairs white, at the root and in the body of the bright spot, before the patient can be declared unclean. The word plague, in accordance with a usage common... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 13:4

(4) If the bright spot be white.—But if upon inspection there merely appeared a white spot in the skin, and the above named two symptoms were absent, the case was not to be decided.Then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague.—The individual thus suspected was to be separated from the rest of the community for seven days, during which time it would be seen whether it actually developed itself into this disorder. According to the canons which obtained during the second Temple, if a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 13:5

(5) And the priest shall look on him.—If at the end of a week there is no alteration in the symptoms, the case must be adjourned for another seven days. The same priest who inspected it at the first must examine it again, as another one could not tell whether it has spread or not. If the priest died in the interim, or was taken ill, another priest could examine the patient, but could not pronounce him unclean. If the seventh day happened to be a Sabbath or feast day, the case had to be put off... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 13:6

(6) And the priest shall look on him again.—If, on further examination at the end of another week, the priest finds that the bright spot looks darker, and that it has not spread, he is to pronounce the patient clean, and set him at liberty, since it was simply an ordinary scurf; but though not leprous, the eruption indicated some impurity in his blood, and he had therefore to wash his garments. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:1-46

THE UNCLEANNESS OF LEPROSYLeviticus 13:1-46THE interpretation of this chapter presents no little difficulty. The description of the diseases with which the law here deals is not given in a scientific form; the point of view, as the purpose of all, is strictly practical. As for the Hebrew word rendered "leprosy," it does not itself give any light as to the nature of the disease thus designated. The word simply means "a stroke," as also does the generic term used in Leviticus 13:2 and elsewhere,... read more

3. Leprosy: Type of Indwelling Sin CHAPTER 13 1. Leprosy in a person (Leviticus 13:1-46 ) 2. The infected garment. (Leviticus 13:47-57 ) 3. The cleansing of the garment (Leviticus 13:58-59 ) The entire chapter treats of leprosy. It has been argued from the side of critics that the disease described here is not the one we know as leprosy, but only a similar disease of the skin. The arguments advanced to support this objection are silenced by Matthew 8:1-4 . The man who came to our Lord... read more

13:3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and [when] the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight [be] {b} deeper than the skin of his flesh, it [is] a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.(b) That is, shrunken in, and be lower than the rest of the skin. read more

13:6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, [if] the plague [be] somewhat {c} dark, [and] the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it [is but] a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.(c) As having the skin drawn together, or blackish. read more
