In the context of Leviticus, it is often associated with skin diseases, commonly understood as leprosy. The phrase "spreads further" indicates a progression or worsening of the condition. This reflects the meticulous care and observation required in the community to prevent the spread of disease, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and responsibility in maintaining communal health. Spiritually, this can be seen as a metaphor for sin, which, if not addressed, can spread and affect one's spiritual health and the community.<p><b>after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing</b><br />The role of the priest in ancient Israel was not only spiritual but also practical, serving as a health inspector of sorts. The Hebrew word for "priest" is "כֹּהֵן" (kohen), a mediator between God and the people. The act of showing oneself to the priest signifies submission to divine authority and the community's established order. "Cleansing" in Hebrew is "טָהֳרָה" (tahorah), which implies purity and ritual cleanliness. This process underscores the importance of seeking divine guidance and intervention in matters of personal and communal well-being.<p><b>he must present himself again to the priest</b><br />The repetition of presenting oneself to the priest highlights the ongoing nature of spiritual and physical accountability. The Hebrew verb "to present" is "רָאָה" (ra'ah), meaning to see or appear. This suggests a continuous process of examination and reflection, both physically and spiritually. The requirement to return to the priest signifies the need for persistent vigilance and humility in seeking healing and restoration. It serves as a reminder of the importance of community oversight and the role of spiritual leaders in guiding individuals towards wholeness.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7, 8) <span class= "bld">But if the scab spread.</span>--As <a href="/leviticus/13-5.htm" title="And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:">Leviticus 13:5</a> prescribes that the priest who examines the patient after seven days' quarantine, and finds no spreading of the affected spot, is to give another seven days' quarantine, the verses before us declare what the examining priest is to do when he notices that the spot has spread.<p><span class= "bld">For his cleansing.</span>--That is, for the purpose of being declared clean.
