SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:18
ΒΆ Y cuando en la carne, en su piel, hubiere postema, y se sanare,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:18
Verse 18. In the skin thereof, was a boil] Scheuchzer supposes this and the following verse to speak of phlegmonic, erysipelatous, gangrenous, and phagedenic ulcers, all of which were subjected to the examination of the priest, to see whether they were infectious, or whether the leprosy might not take its origin from them. A person with any sore or disposition to contagion was more likely to catch the infection by contact with the diseased person, than he was whose skin was whole and sound, and his habit good.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof, was a boil , etc.] Or hot ulcer, by which, says Maimonides you may understand any stroke by a stone, stick, or iron, or any other thing: and in the Misnah f443 , it is asked, what is an ulcer (or boil)? a stroke by wood, stone, pitch, or hot water; all that is from the force of fire is an ulcer: and is healed ; by the use of medicine, and the part, in all appearance, as well and as sound as ever.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-44 - The priest is told what judgment to make, if there were any appearanc of a leprosy in old sores; and such is the danger of those who havin escaped the pollutions of the world are again entangled therein. Or, in a burn by accident, ver. #(24). The burning of strife and contentio often occasions the rising and breaking out of that corruption, whic proves that men are unclean. Human life lies exposed to man grievances. With what troops of diseases are we beset on every side and thy all entered by sin! If the constitution be healthy, and the body lively and easy, we are bound to glorify God with our bodies Particular note was taken of the leprosy, if in the head. If the leprosy of sin has seized the head; if the judgment be corrupted, an wicked principles, which support wicked practices, are embraced, it is utter uncleanness, from which few are cleansed. Soundness in the fait keeps leprosy from the head.
