Verse 39
Then the priest shall look ,.... Upon the man or woman that has these spots, and upon the spots themselves, and examine them of what kind they are:
and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white ; their whiteness is not strong, as Jarchi observes; but dusky and obscure, or "contracted" F23 כהות "costractae", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; small white spots, not large and spreading:
it is a freckled spot that grows in the skin ; a kind of morphew, which the above writer describes as a sort of whiteness which appears in the flesh of a ruddy man:
he is clean ; from leprosy; this is observed, lest a person that is freckled and has a morphew should be mistaken for a leprous person; as every man that has some spots, failings, and infirmities, is not to be reckoned a wicked man.
Be the first to react on this!
