Summary

Leviticus 13:22 discusses the diagnosis of a person with a skin disease that has turned into a white spot. This verse is part of the detailed instructions given to the Israelites by God through Moses regarding identifying and dealing with various skin conditions. The significance of these regulations was to maintain cleanliness and prevent the spread of contagious diseases within the community. It also served as a symbolic reminder of the importance of spiritual purity and holiness before God, reflecting the broader theme of separation from sin and dedication to God found throughout the book of Leviticus.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

And if it spread much abroad in the skin,.... Upon viewing it on the seventh day, though it is not expressed, the swelling or bright spot; or "in spreading spread"; See Gill on Lev 13:7; which Ben Gersom interprets, not of the skin of the flesh, but of the ulcer: then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; even though there are no white hairs in it, nor is it lower than the skin, yet is not at a stand or contracted, but spreading: it is a plague; or stroke; it is one sort of a leprosy, and such an one as makes a man unclean in a ceremonial sense.
