Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 13:17

And the priest shall see him: and, behold, [if] the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: he [is] clean.

And the priest shall see him,…. Review him, and examine him thoroughly:

and, behold, [if] the plague be turned into white; the raw flesh in the swelling, which looked red, is become white:

then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague; that was supposed to have the plague of leprosy; but upon a review, and on this change of things, has not, he shall declare him free from it,

he [is] clean; and under no obligation to the laws and rites concerning it.

17. The plague The stroke of the leprosy is viewed as a direct infliction by God. Sometimes it is abbreviated to the plague, just as we say of the paralytic, that he is suffering from a stroke.
