SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:42
Mas cuando en la calva o en la antecalva hubiere llaga blanca bermeja, lepra es que brota en su calva o en su antecalva.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 42. And if there be , etc.] Or, “but if there be”, or, “when there shall be” f452 , 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 f453 , “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.
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.
