Leviticus 13:55 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

If the plague have not changed his colour; if washing doth not take away that vicious colour, and restore it to its own native colour. Bare within or without; in the outside of the garment, which is here called the forehead or foreside, as being most visible, or in the inside of it. Some of the Jewish doctors understood it thus, whether the garment was made threadbare by the leprosy, or by former wearing of it.

Leviticus 13:55

55 And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.
