Verse 42
And if there be ,.... Or, "but if there be", or, "when there shall be" F25 וכי "sin autem", V. L. "quum autem", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator Drusius. , or shall appear to be:
in the bald head, or in the bald forehead, a white reddish sore ; white and red mixed, as the Targum of Jonathan, having something of both colours, neither a clear white nor thorough red; though, according to Bochart, it should be rendered "a white sore exceeding bright"; See Gill on Leviticus 13:19 ,
it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or in his bald forehead ; the signs of which were raw flesh and spreading; so it is said in the Misnah F26 Ut supra. (Misn. Negaim, c. 10. sect. 10.) ,"those two sorts of baldness defile in two weeks, by two signs, by quick raw flesh and by spreading;'if there was the bright spot and no quick flesh, then he was to be shut up seven days, and looked upon at the end of them; and if there was either quick flesh or a spreading, he was pronounced unclean, but if neither, he was shut up seven days more; and if either of the above signs appeared he was pronounced unclean, if not he was set free.
