Leviticus 13
1. The laws whereby the priest is to be guided in discerning the leprosy.














the mark
The Hebrew word for "mark" is "נֶגַע" (nega), which can mean a plague, spot, or blemish. In the context of Leviticus, it refers to a visible sign of impurity or disease. This term is significant as it denotes not just a physical imperfection but a spiritual and communal concern, reflecting the ancient Israelite understanding of purity and holiness. The presence of a "mark" required careful examination, symbolizing the need for discernment in identifying sin or impurity in one's life.

in the fabric, leather, weave, or knit
These materials—fabric, leather, weave, or knit—represent the everyday items used by the Israelites. The Hebrew terms for these materials indicate the common and essential nature of these items in daily life. The inclusion of various materials underscores the comprehensive nature of God's laws, which extend to all aspects of life. It reminds believers that holiness and purity are not confined to spiritual matters but encompass every facet of existence.

or any leather article
The mention of "any leather article" highlights the practical and varied uses of leather in ancient times, from clothing to tents. Leather was a valuable resource, and its mention here indicates the importance of maintaining purity in both valuable and mundane possessions. This reflects the broader biblical principle that all possessions and aspects of life should be dedicated to God and kept free from impurity.

is greenish or reddish
The colors "greenish or reddish" are significant as they were indicators of mildew or mold, which were considered forms of impurity. The Hebrew words used here, "יָרְקַרְקֶת" (yereqeqet) for greenish and "אָדְמַדָּם" (adamdam) for reddish, suggest a deviation from the norm, symbolizing spiritual corruption or sin. These colors serve as a visual cue for the Israelites to recognize and address impurity, emphasizing the need for vigilance in maintaining holiness.

it is a mildew
The term "mildew" translates from the Hebrew "שְׂאֵת" (se'et), which can also mean a rising or swelling. This indicates a spreading impurity, much like sin, which can grow and affect the community if left unchecked. The presence of mildew required action, symbolizing the need for proactive measures in dealing with sin and impurity in one's life.

must be shown to the priest
The instruction to show the mark to the priest underscores the role of the priesthood in maintaining the community's purity. The priest acted as a mediator between God and the people, discerning and declaring what was clean or unclean. This reflects the broader biblical theme of spiritual leadership and accountability, reminding believers of the importance of seeking guidance and wisdom from those appointed by God to lead His people.

(49) And if the plague be greenish.--If one of

these symptoms manifests itself in a woollen or linen garment, or in a leathern vessel, it must forthwith be shown to the priest. The Jewish canons define the colour of the green symptom to be like that of herbs, and that of the red to be like fair crimson.

Verses 49-59. - The priest is to deal with the texture as nearly as may be in the same way that lie dealt with the human subject, in order to discriminate between a tempo-rare discoloration and a real leprosy. He shall shut up it that hath the plague seven days (verse 50), may, as before, mean, he shall bind up the place affected seven days. If the priest judges that it is leprosy, he is to burn the garment, if not, to tear out the piece affected, whether it be in the warp, or in the woof, that is, in whatever part it appears, and to wash the remainder twice. The expression, whether it be bare within or without, literally, whether it be bald in the head thereof or in the forehead thereof, means, "whether the fault appear in the front or in the back of the texture."
