Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 13:22
And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague.
Or, the plague, to wit, of leprosy, of which he is speaking.

And if it spread much abroad in the skin,…. Upon viewing it on the seventh day, though it is not expressed, the swelling or bright spot; or “in spreading spread”; [See comments on Le 13:7]; which Ben Gersom interprets, not of the skin of the flesh, but of the ulcer:
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; even though there are no white hairs in it, nor is it lower than the skin, yet is not at a stand or contracted, but spreading:
it [is] a plague; or stroke; it is one sort of a leprosy, and such an one as makes a man unclean in a ceremonial sense.

(22) And if it spread much abroad.If, on inspecting it again at the end of the seven days seclusion, the priest finds that the spot has spread, it was evident that the blood was vitiated, and that the distemper began to develop in the body.
It is a plague.That is, of leprosy. The word leprosy, which has here dropped out of the text, is still preserved in some of the ancient versions.
