Sections marked generated are written from the data on this page rather than by a named author. Everything else — the lexicon entries, the cross references, the manuscript readings, the counts — is quoted from its source unchanged.
Context — Laws Concerning Skin Diseasesgenerated
Leviticus 13:28 discusses the examination of skin conditions by a priest, who determines if a spot is a sign of disease or a harmless scar from a burn. This chapter provides guidelines for maintaining ritual purity in the community, emphasizing the priest's role in these assessments, which are crucial for the health and spiritual cleanliness of the people.
Cross References
The Key Word — כֵהָ֔ה, khe.Hahgenerated
The adjective כֵהָ֔ה (keheh) means dull or faint. It describes a condition where a spot on the skin has lost its brightness, indicating it is not a sign of ongoing infection. The parsing as an adjective suggests it modifies a noun, in this case, the bright spot, to convey its current state.
In this context, כֵהָ֔ה indicates that the spot has faded, which is significant for the priest's determination of cleanliness. It suggests that the condition is stable and not worsening, which is essential for the judgment of purity.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb טִֽהֲרוֹ (tiharo), meaning 'he will declare pure,' governs the sentence. The structure includes several clauses and phrases that describe the conditions of the spot and the priest's actions.
The main clause is followed by a series of prepositional and noun phrases that elaborate on the spot's condition, emphasizing the relationship between the state of the spot and the priest's declaration.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates כֵהָ֔ה as ἀσθενής, meaning 'weak' or 'feeble.' This choice may suggest a broader interpretation of the spot's condition, indicating not just a lack of brightness but also a sense of diminished health.
This rendering reflects a nuanced understanding of the condition, emphasizing that the spot's faded state is not merely cosmetic but also implies a level of reduced vitality.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Leviticus 13:28 explains that if a spot on the skin is unchanged and has not spread, but has faded, it is a scar from a burn. The priest will declare the person clean, indicating that the spot does not signify a serious condition.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
A faded spot indicates that it is not a sign of infection but rather a harmless scar from a previous burn.
The priest's declaration is crucial for determining the person's ritual purity, allowing them to participate fully in community worship.
If the spot spreads, the priest must declare the person unclean, indicating a potential infection or disease.
This verse is part of the broader laws in Leviticus that govern skin diseases, emphasizing the importance of ritual purity in the community.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What does it mean to be declared clean in a spiritual sense?
- How can understanding these laws help us today in terms of community and health?
- What parallels can we draw between physical and spiritual health?
- How can we apply the principles of examination and discernment in our own lives?

It will be seen that there is a difference in the treatment of the suspicious symptoms in case No. 1, and in the case before us, No. 3. In the former instance, where there is no apparent cause for the symptoms, the suspected invalid has to undergo two remands of seven days each before his case can be decided; whilst in the instance before us, where the boil, the inflammation, or the burn visibly supplies the reason for this suspicion, he is only remanded for one week, at the end of which his case is finally…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and CollegesLeprosy developing in the place of an old boil or a burn (18–28) The distinguishing marks of leprosy are similar to those already indicated; it would seem that in these cases they are more easily recognised, for only one shutting up for seven days is required. The Heb. word (shĕ ?ḥ ?în) for ‘boil’ is used of Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:7) and Job (Job 2:7); also for ‘the botch (boil R.V.) of Egypt’ (Deuteronomy 28:17). As Egypt was notorious for malignant skin diseases, this expression may denote some form of leprosy.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Samaritan Pentateuch agree on the overall structure and meaning of the verse, though the Samaritan variant uses the word הִיא (she) three times, which may reflect a different emphasis in the pronoun usage.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

LITERATURE
A priest is one who is duly authorized to minister in sacred things, particularly to offer sacrifices at the altar, and who acts as mediator between men and God. In the New Testament the term is applied to priests of the Gentiles…
Priest
The Heb. kohen, Gr. hierus, Lat. sacerdos, always denote one who offers sacrifices.
At first every man was his own priest, and presented his own sacrifices before God. Afterwards that office devolved on the head of the family, as in the cases of Noah (Gen. 8:20), Abraham (12:7; 13:4), Isaac (26:25), Jacob (31:54), and Job (Job 1:5).
The name first occurs as applied to Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18). Under the Levitical arrangements the office of the priesthood was limited to the tribe of Levi, and to only one family of that tribe, the family of Aaron. Certain laws respecting the qualifications of priests are given in Lev. 21:16-23. There are ordinances also regarding the…
The English word is derived from the Greek presbyter , signifying an "elder" (Heb. cohen). Origin. --The idea of a priesthood connects itself in all its forms, pure or corrupted, with the consciousness, more or less distinct of sin. Men feel that they have broken a law. The power above them is holier than they are, and they dare not approach it. They crave for the intervention of some one of whom they can think as likely to be more acceptable than themselves. He must offer up their prayers, thanksgivings, sacrifices. He becomes their representative in "things pertaining unto God." He may become also (though this does not always follow) the representative of God to man. The functions of the priest and prophet may exist in the same person. No trace of a hereditary or caste priesthood meets us in the worship of the patriarchal age. Once and once only does the word cohen meet us as…
One who officiated in the public worship of God, especially in making expiation for sin, being "ordained for men in things pertaining to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins." In the Old Testament, the priesthood was not annexed to a certain family till after the promulgation of the law by Moses. Before that time, the firstborn of each family, the fathers, the princes, the kings, were priests in their own cities and in their own houses. Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, and Job, Abimelech and Laban, Isaac and Jacob offered personally their own sacrifices. In the solemnity of the covenant made by the Lord with his people, at the foot of Mount Sinai, Moses performed the office of mediator, and young men were chosen from among Israel to perform the office of priests, Ex 24:5. But after the Lord had chosen the tribe of Levi to…
