Nam cum induratus esset Pharao, et nollet nos dimittere, occidit Dominus omne primogenitum in terra Ægypti, a primogenito hominis usque ad primogenitum jumentorum : idcirco immolo Domino omne quod aperit vulvam masculini sexus, et omnia primogenita filiorum meorum redimo.
tunc sacerdotis judicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur: caro enim viva, si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.

Reciprocal: Leviticus 13:10 - quick raw flesh
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the priest shall see the raw flesh,.... Or when he sees it, the person being brought to him to be viewed:
and pronounce him to be unclean; or shall pronounce him to be unclean:
[for] the raw flesh [is] unclean; made a man so in a ceremonial sense;
:-;
it [is] a leprosy; wherever any quick raw flesh appears in a swelling.
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.
