Commentary

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.
