In Leviticus 13:41, the focus is on the diagnosis of leprosy in garments.

The detailed instructions provided in Leviticus regarding cleanliness and purification serve as a reminder of the importance of holiness and separation from impurity in the sight of God. This passage underscores the significance of maintaining physical, spiritual, and moral purity in the lives of God's people, reflecting the broader theme of consecration and obedience throughout the book of Leviticus.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

Then the priest shall look upon it,.... The white reddish sore: and, behold, if the rising of the sore; or the swelling of it: be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead; See Gill on Lev 13:42, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh; as in Lev 13:2; having the signs of the leprosy there given; anyone of them, excepting the white hair, which in this case could be no sign, there being none: Jarchi's note is, according to the appearance of the leprosy, said in Lev 13:2; and what is said in it is, it defiles by four appearances, and is judged in two weeks; but not according to the appearance of the leprosy said of the boil, and burning, which were judged in one week; nor according to the appearance of the scalls, of the place of hair, which do not defile by the four appearances, the rising or swelling, and the scab of it, the bright spot, and the scab of that.
