“Or if there be [any] flesh, in the skin whereof [there is] a hot burning, etc.] Or “a burning of fire” f446: it is asked, what is a burning? that which is burnt with a coal or with hot ashes; all that is from the force of fire is burning f447; that is, whatever sore, pustule, or blister, is occasioned by fire touching the part, or by anything heated by fire: and the quick [flesh] that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white; the Targum of Jonathan is, a white spot mixed with red, or only white; and so Aben Ezra interprets the last clause: this seems to set aside Bochart’s interpretation of the word “adamdemeth”, which we render “somewhat reddish”, and be, very white,…”

“The sense of this verse is: “Or if there be flesh of which the skin has been affected by severe inflammation, and the sore of the inflammation has become a glossy spot, somewhat reddish or white.” return to 'Top of Page'”
