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)
Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Contextual Overview

1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 When man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests: 3 and the priest shall look at the plague in the skin of the flesh: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look at him, and pronounce him unclean. 4 And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance thereof is not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof has not turned white, then the priest shall shut up [him that has] the plague seven days: 5 and the priest shall look at him the seventh day: and see if, in his eyes, the plague has stayed, the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more: 6 and the priest shall look at him again the seventh day; and see if the plague is dim, and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 7 But if the scab spreads abroad in the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again: 8 and the priest shall look; and see if the scab has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy. 9 When the plague of leprosy is in man, then he shall be brought to the priest; 10 and the priest shall look; and see if there is a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is quick raw flesh in the rising,

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.
