Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 13:25
Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, [if] the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it [be in] sight deeper than the skin; it [is] a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] the plague of leprosy.
Then the priest shall look upon it,…. And examine it, whether it has the marks and signs of a leprosy or not, such as follow:
behold, [if] the hair in the bright spot be turned white; which before was black, or of another colour from white, and is now, turned into the whiteness of chalk, as the Targum of Jonathan:
and it [be in] sight deeper than the skin; the same Targum is,
“and its sight or colour is deeper in being white like snow, more than the skin;”
but this respects not the colour of it, as appearing to the sight, but the depth of the spot, going below the skin into the flesh, which, with the change of hair, are the two signs of leprosy, Le 13:3;
it [is] a leprosy broken out of the burning; which sprung from thence, and what that had issued in:
wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean; a leper, and to be treated as such:
it [is] the plague of leprosy; being a plain case, according to the rules by which it was to be judged of.

(25) Then the priest shall look.If upon examination the priest finds that the hair which was before black has now turned white.
And it be in sight deeper than the skin.Better, and its appearance is deeper than the other skin. (See Lev. 13:3; Lev. 13:20.)

Lev 13:25 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, [if] the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it [be in] sight deeper than the skin; it [is] a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] the plague of leprosy.
Ver. 25. A leprosy broken out of the burning. ] Seldom do passions burn, but there is a leprosy breaking out of that burning; such as causeth the climate where such lepers live to be like the torrid zone, too hot for any to live near them.
