SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:33
entonces lo trasquilarán, mas no trasquilarán el lugar de la tiña; y encerrará el sacerdote al que tiene la tiña por siete días la segunda vez.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:33
Verse 33. The scall shall he not shave] Lest the place should be irritated and inflamed, and assume in consequence other appearances besides those of a leprous infection; in which case the priest might not be able to form an accurate judgment.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. He shall be shaven , etc.] His head or beard, where the scall was, as Aben Ezra; and so Ben Gersom, who adds, the law is not solicitous whether this shaving is by a priest or not; so it seems any one might shave him: but the scall shall he not shave ; that is, the hair that is in it, but that was to continue and grow, that the colour of it might be easily discerned at the end of seven other days; according to the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, he was to shave round about it, but not that itself; Jarchi says, he was to leave two hairs near it f449 , that he might know whether it spread; for if it spread it would go over the hairs, and into the part that was shaven; when it would be a clear case it was a spreading leprosy: now, that there might be an opportunity of observing this, whether it would or not, the following method was to be taken: and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall seven days more ; by which time it would be seen whether there was any increase or decrease, or whether at a stand, and of what colour the hair was, by which judgment might be made of the case.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-44 - The priest is told what judgment to make, if there were any appearanc of a leprosy in old sores; and such is the danger of those who havin escaped the pollutions of the world are again entangled therein. Or, in a burn by accident, ver. #(24). The burning of strife and contentio often occasions the rising and breaking out of that corruption, whic proves that men are unclean. Human life lies exposed to man grievances. With what troops of diseases are we beset on every side and thy all entered by sin! If the constitution be healthy, and the body lively and easy, we are bound to glorify God with our bodies Particular note was taken of the leprosy, if in the head. If the leprosy of sin has seized the head; if the judgment be corrupted, an wicked principles, which support wicked practices, are embraced, it is utter uncleanness, from which few are cleansed. Soundness in the fait keeps leprosy from the head.
