Sieht aber der Priester, daß es tieferliegend erscheint als die übrige Haut und daß das Haar weiß geworden ist, so soll er ihn für unrein erklären; denn es ist ein Aussatzmal in dem Geschwür ausgebrochen.

Elberfelder Bibel (1905)
und besieht ihn der Priester, und siehe, der Flecken erscheint niedriger als die Haut, und sein Haar hat sich in weiß verwandelt, so soll der Priester ihn für unrein erklären; es ist das Übel des Aussatzes, er ist in der Beule ausgebrochen.
Lutherbible (1912)
Wenn dann der Priester sieht, daß das Ansehen tiefer ist denn die andere Haut und das Haar in Weiß verwandelt, so soll er ihn unrein urteilen; denn es ist gewiß ein Aussatzmal aus der Drüse geworden.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if, when the priest seeth it,.... And has thoroughly viewed it and considered it:

behold, it [be] in sight lower than the skin; having eaten into and taken root in the flesh under the skin:

and the hair thereof be turned white; which are the signs of leprosy before given, Leviticus 13:3;

the priest shall pronounce him unclean; not fit for company and conversation, but obliged to conform to the laws concerning leprosy:

it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil; which was there before: this is an emblem of apostates and apostasy, who having been seemingly healed and cleansed, return to their former course of life, and to all the impurity of it, like the dog to its vomit, and the swine to its wallowing in the mire, Proverbs 26:11; and so their last state is worse than the first, Matthew 12:45, as in this case; at first it was a boil, and then thought to be cured, and afterwards arises out of it a plague of leprosy.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Lower than the skin - Rather, reaching below the scarf skin.
