Mais si la lèpre fait une éruption sur la peau, et que la lèpre couvre toute la peau de celui qui a la plaie, de la tête aux pieds, partout où peut voir le sacrificateur,
Si la lèpre fait une éruption sur la peau et couvre toute la peau de celui qui a la plaie, depuis la tête jusqu'aux pieds, partout où le sacrificateur portera ses regards, le sacrificateur l'examinera;
Si la lèpre boutonne fort dans la peau, et qu'elle couvre toute la peau de la plaie, depuis la tête de cet homme jusqu'à ses pieds, autant qu'en pourra voir le Sacrificateur;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin,.... Or, if flowering it flowers m; the man that has it on him looks like a plant or tree covered with white flowers, being spread all over him in white swellings, bright spots or scabs, as it follows:
and the leprosy cover all the skin of [him that hath] the plague, from his head even to his foot; such an one as the leper was that came to Christ for healing, said to be full of leprosy, Luke 5:12; and such in a mystical sense is every sinner, whether sensible of it or not, even from the Crown of the head to the sole of the foot, full of the wounds, bruises, and putrefying sores of sin, Isaiah 1:6;
wheresoever the priest looketh; that is, he cannot look any where upon any part of him but he sees the signs of the leprosy on him; and from whence the Jewish writers gather, that a priest that inspects leprous persons ought to have a clear sight, and to have both his eyes, and that the inspection should not be made in a dark house.
m פרוח תפרח ανθουσα εξανθηση, Sept. "florendo floruerit", Montanus; so Drusius & Tigurine version.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The disease here indicated appears to be that now known as Lepra commonis, the common White Leprosy, or Dry Tetter. It first shows itself in reddish pimples, the surface of which becomes white and scaly, spreading in a circular form until they meet each other and cover large patches of the body. It scarcely affects the general health, and for the most part disappears of itself, though it often lasts for years.
From his head even to his foot, wheresoever. the priest looketh - The first appearance of the Lepra Commonis may take place in any part of the body, especially, however, at the larger joints of the limbs; but the spots of elephantiasis are almost always first seen, on those parts which are habitually exposed, the face, ears and hands.
Leviticus 13:14
Raw flesh - See Leviticus 13:10.
Leviticus 13:15
Boil - Probably ulcer. In Job 2:7, and Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:35, it would seem highly probable that the word expresses the ulcers of elephantiasis.
