Leviticus 13:10

“And the priest shall see [him], etc.] Look at him, and closely and narrowly inspect and examine his case: and, behold, [if] the rising [be] white in the skin; this is another appearance of the leprosy; the preceding were a bright spot, and the scab of it; but this a rising or white swelling in the skin, as white as pure wool, as the Targum of Jonathan: and it have turned the hair white; to the whiteness of an egg shell, or the film of it, as the same Targum; that is, hath turned the hair of another colour, into white which was before black; and [there be] quick raw flesh in the rising, or swelling; or “the quickening” or “quickness of live flesh” f440 either such as we call proud flesh,…”

“If the rising be white - Or, If there be a white rising. The term very probably denotes the white Bulla or patch of Anaesthetic elephantiasis when it has re-appeared. Quick raw flesh in the rising - The margin gives the literal rendering. The symptom here noted exhibits a more advanced stage of the disease. The expression might denote an ulcer or open sore with “proud flesh” appearing in it. return to 'Top of Page'”

“White in the skin - With a preternatural and extraordinary whiteness. Raw flesh - This shewed it was not a superficial leprosy but one of a deeper and more malignant nature, that had eaten into the very flesh, for which cause it is in the next verse called an old or inveterate leprosy. Leviticus 13:13”

“13:10 The presence of an open sore was the crucial factor, because it indicated infection.”
