Context of Leviticus 13:19

17The kohen is to examine him, and behold, if the plague has turned white, then the kohen should pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean. 18“When the body has a boil on its skin and it has healed, but in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a bright reddish-white spot, then it shall be shown to the kohen. 20The kohen is to examine it, and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin and its hair has turned white, then the kohen is to pronounce him unclean. It is a plague of tza'arat that has broken out within the boil. 21But if the kohen examines it and sees there are no white hairs within, and if it is not deeper than the skin but is faded, then the kohen is to isolate him seven days.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 18-44Verses 18-44 The priest is told what judgment to make, if there were any appearance of a leprosy in old sores; and such is the danger of those who having escaped the pollutions of the world are again entangled therein. Or, in a burn by accident, ver. #(24). The burning of strife and contention often occasions the rising and breaking out of that corruption, which proves that men are unclean.
