THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses and Aaron: "When someone has a swelling or a blister or a shiny spot on the skin that might signal a serious skin disease on the body, bring him to Aaron the priest or to one of his priest sons. The priest will examine the sore on the skin. If the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears more than skin deep, it is a serious skin disease and infectious. After the priest has examined it, he will pronounce the person unclean.
New American Standard Bible (1995)

Contextual Overview

1 And ye LORDE spake vnto Moses & Aaron, & sayde: 2 Whan there ryseth vp eny thinge in the skynne of a mans flesh, whether it be a scabbe or a glistrynge whyte (as though there wolde be a leprosy in ye ßkynne of his flesh) he shal be brought vnto Aaron the prest, or to one of his sonnes amonge ye prestes. 3 And whan the prest seyth the plage vpon the ßkynne of the flesh, that the hayres are turned to whyte, and it seme deper in that place then the other ßkynne of his flesh, then is it surely a leprosy, therfore shal the prest loke vpon him, and iudge him vncleane. 4 But whan there is eny whyte plecke in the ßkynne of his flesh, and yet seme no deper then the other ßkynne of the flesh, and the hayres be not turned to whyte, the shal the prest shut him vp seuen dayes, 5 and on ye seuenth daye loke vpon him: yf the plage seme vnto him as afore, & hath frett no deper in the ßkynne, then shall the prest shut him vp yet seuen dayes mo. 6 And whan he loketh on him agayne vpon the seuenth daye, and fyndeth, that the plage be darkish, and hath frett no deper in the ßkynne, the shal he iudge him cleane, for it is but a ßkyrfe, and he shal wash his clothes, & then is he cleane. 7 But whan the scabbe fretteth farther in the ßkynne (after that he is sene of the prest, and iudged cleane) and he be now sene of the prest agayne: 8 whan the prest seyth the, yt the scabbe hath frett farther in the ßkynne, he shal iudge him vncleane, for it is surely a leprosy. 9 Whan a plage of leprosy is vpo a man, he shalbe brought vnto the prest. 10 Whan he seyth and fyndeth, that there is whyte rysen vp in the ßkynne, and the hayre turned vnto whyte, and there be rawe flesh in the sore,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,.... Aaron is addressed again, though left out in the preceding law, because the laws concerning leprosy chiefly concerned the priests, whose business it was to judge of it, and cleanse from it; and so Ben Gersom observes, mention is made of Aaron here, because to him and his sons belonged the affair of leprosies, to pronounce unclean or clean, to shut up or set free, and, as Aben Ezra says, according to his determination were all the plagues or strokes of a man, who should be declared clean or unclean:

saying; as follows.
