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 boil — Scheuchzer 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.
