THE MESSAGE
"When a person has a boil and it heals and in place of the boil there is white swelling or a reddish-white shiny spot, the person must present himself to the priest for an examination. If it looks like it has penetrated the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest will pronounce him unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has broken out in the boil. But if the examination shows that there is no white hair in it and it is only skin deep and has faded, the priest will put him in quarantine for seven days. If it then spreads over the skin, the priest will diagnose him as unclean. It is infectious. But if the shiny spot has not changed and hasn't spread, it's only a scar from the boil. The priest will pronounce him clean.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
"When the body has a boil on its skin and it is healed,

Contextual Overview

18And when flesh has in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it has been healed,19and there has been in the place of the ulcer a white rising, or a bright white spot, reddish, then it has been seen by the priest, 20and the priest has seen, and behold, its appearance [is] lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy—it has broken out in an ulcer. 21And if the priest sees it, and behold, there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and has faded, then the priest has shut him up [for] seven days; 22and if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean—it [is] a plague; 23and if the bright spot stays in its place—it has not spread—it [is] an inflammation of the ulcer; and the priest has pronounced him clean. 24Or when flesh has a fiery burning in its skin, and the quickening of the burning, the bright white spot, has been reddish or white, 25and the priest has seen it, and behold, the hair has turned white in the bright spot, and its appearance [is] deeper than the skin, it [is] leprosy; it has broken out in the burning, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy. 26And if the priest sees it, and behold, there is no white hair on the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest has shut him up [for] seven days; 27and the priest has seen him on the seventh day, [and] if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof, was a boil,.... Or hot ulcer, by which, says Maimonides n you may understand any stroke by a stone, stick, or iron, or any other thing: and in the Misnah o, 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.

n In Misn. Negaim, c. 6. sect. 8. o Ib. c. 9. sect. 1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 13:18. In the skin thereof, was a boilScheuchzer 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.
