Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) But if the bright spot stay.--As the spreading of the spot is a sure sign of the disease lurking in the system, its continuing in the same condition showed that it was simply the re-opening of the boil. The priest is therefore to pronounce the patient clean, or clear of leprosy.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBut ifוְאִם־ (wə·’im-)Conjunctive waw | ConjunctionStrong's 518: Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, notthe spotהַבַּהֶ֙רֶת֙ (hab·ba·he·reṯ)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 934: A whitish spot on the skinremainsתַּעֲמֹ֤ד (ta·‘ă·mōḏ)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 5975: To stand, in various relationsunchangedתַּחְתֶּ֜יהָ (taḥ·te·hā)Preposition | third person feminine singularStrong's 8478: The bottom, below, in lieu ofand does notלֹ֣א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nospread,פָשָׂ֔תָה (p̄ā·śā·ṯāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 6581: To spreaditהִ֑וא (hî)Pronoun - third person feminine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, areis only the scarצָרֶ֥בֶת (ṣā·re·ḇeṯ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 6867: Scab, scar (of a sore)from the boil,הַשְּׁחִ֖ין (haš·šə·ḥîn)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7822: Inflammation, an ulcerand the priestהַכֹּהֵֽן׃ (hak·kō·hên)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3548: Priestshall pronounce him clean.וְטִהֲר֖וֹ (wə·ṭi·hă·rōw)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine singularStrong's 2891: To be clean or pureJump to PreviousBoil Bright Burning Clean Gets Greater Hasn't Inflammation Keeps Mark Priest Pronounce Pronounced Scar Spot Spread Stays Ulcer Unchanged Wound
