The seventh day is significant, symbolizing completion and divine order, as seen in the creation narrative (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a>). This period allowed time for observation and potential healing, reflecting God's provision for both physical and spiritual well-being.and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin The fading and non-spreading of the sore were critical indicators of healing or non-contagiousness. In a time without modern medicine, visual inspection was the primary diagnostic tool. This reflects the importance of community health and the prevention of disease spread, akin to quarantine practices. The emphasis on visible signs parallels the biblical theme of inner spiritual conditions being reflected outwardly (<a href="/matthew/7-16.htm">Matthew 7:16-20</a>).the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash The priest's pronouncement of cleanliness restored the individual to full participation in the community and religious life. This declaration was not just a medical diagnosis but a spiritual and social reinstatement. The term "rash" indicates a non-threatening condition, distinguishing it from more serious skin diseases like leprosy. This act of pronouncement can be seen as a type of Christ's role as the ultimate High Priest who declares believers clean from sin (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>).The person must wash his clothes and be clean Washing clothes symbolized purification and a fresh start, aligning with the broader biblical theme of cleansing from impurity (<a href="/isaiah/1-16.htm">Isaiah 1:16-18</a>). This act was both a physical and spiritual cleansing, preparing the individual to re-enter communal worship and daily life. It foreshadows the New Testament concept of baptism, representing the washing away of sin and the believer's new life in Christ (<a href="/acts/22-16.htm">Acts 22:16</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> - The author of Leviticus, who received the laws from God on Mount Sinai. 2. <a href="/topical/p/priest.htm">Priest</a> - The individual responsible for examining skin diseases and determining the cleanliness or uncleanliness of a person. 3. <a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a> - The people to whom the laws in Leviticus were given, forming the community governed by these laws. 4. <a href="/topical/l/leprosy.htm">Leprosy</a> - A term used in the Bible to describe various skin diseases, not necessarily the modern disease known as leprosy. 5. <a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a> - The central place of worship for the Israelites, where the priests served and where the laws were often applied.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_priest.htm">The Role of the Priest</a> The priest acted as a mediator between God and the people, reflecting the importance of spiritual leadership and discernment in the community. <a href="/topical/h/holiness_and_community_health.htm">Holiness and Community Health</a> The laws concerning skin diseases were not only about physical health but also about maintaining the holiness and purity of the community. <a href="/topical/s/spiritual_examination.htm">Spiritual Examination</a> Just as the priest examined physical conditions, believers are called to examine their spiritual condition regularly. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_as_the_ultimate_healer.htm">Jesus as the Ultimate Healer</a> In the New Testament, Jesus fulfills the law by providing ultimate healing and restoration, both physically and spiritually. <a href="/topical/c/community_responsibility.htm">Community Responsibility</a> The community's role in supporting those who were unclean reflects the importance of compassion and support within the body of Christ.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_13.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 13</a> <a href="/q/does_heb._13_10_contradict_ot_sacrifice_laws.htm">Does Hebrews 13:10's mention of an altar contradict Old Testament laws allowing priests to eat sacrifices?</a> <a href="/q/how_did_priests_diagnose_skin_diseases.htm">How could priests with no formal medical training accurately diagnose skin diseases (Leviticus 13:1-8)?</a> <a href="/q/why_treat_garments_drastically_if_tests_vary.htm">Why are potentially contaminated garments treated with such drastic measures if later inspections could contradict an initial diagnosis (Leviticus 13:47-52)?</a> <a href="/q/why_link_skin_issues_to_divine_judgment.htm">Why does the text attribute certain skin conditions to divine judgment instead of natural causes (Leviticus 13:9-17)?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) And the priest shall look on him again.--If, on further examination at the end of another week, the priest finds that the bright spot looks darker, and that it has not spread, he is to pronounce the patient clean, and set him at liberty, since it was simply an ordinary scurf; but though not leprous, the eruption indicated some impurity in his blood, and he had therefore to wash his garments. <a href="/commentaries/leviticus/13-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>The priest הַכֹּהֵ֨ן (hak·kō·hên) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3548.htm">Strong's 3548: </a> Priest will examine וְרָאָה֩ (wə·rā·’āh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see him again שֵׁנִית֒ (šê·nîṯ) Number - ordinal feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8145.htm">Strong's 8145: </a> Second (an ordinal number) on the seventh הַשְּׁבִיעִי֮ (haš·šə·ḇî·‘î) Article | Number - ordinal masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7637.htm">Strong's 7637: </a> Seventh (an ordinal number) day, בַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day and if וְהִנֵּה֙ (wə·hin·nêh) Conjunctive waw | Interjection <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2009.htm">Strong's 2009: </a> Lo!
