"He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
He is a leprous man, he is unclean,.... And so to be pronounced and accounted; only a leprous man is mentioned, there being no leprous women, having this sort of
leprosy, their hair not falling off, or they becoming bald, usually; unless, as Ben Gersom observes, in a manner strange and wonderful: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; as in any other case of leprosy: his plague is in his head; an emblem of such who have imbibed bad notions and erroneous principles, and are therefore, like the leper, to be avoided and rejected from the communion of the saints, Tit 3:10 ; and shows that men are accountable for their principles as well as practices, and liable to be punished for them.
