Study Notes
Skin Disease Diagnosis in Leviticus 13
- Indicators of potential infectious skin disease include a swelling or rash, along with a bright spot.
- Individuals with suspected skin diseases were to be brought before a priest for examination.
Priestly Examination Process
- If a person shows a swelling and the hair turns white, they are declared ceremonially unclean.
- Initial isolation for seven days is required if the hair does not turn white, allowing for further observation.
Isolation and Re-Evaluation
- If no changes occur after the first isolation, extended isolation for another seven days is mandated.
- Following the second isolation, declaration of cleanliness occurs if no changes are observed and the individual must wash their clothes.
Criteria for Declaring Unclean
- A spreading rash indicates that the infection is contagious and results in the individual being declared unclean.
- Immediate declaration of chronic skin disease can be made if white hair and raw flesh are present upon inspection.
Isolation Regulations
- Only those previously declared unclean are prohibited from isolation; others are subject to examination.
- An individual completely covered with a white skin condition may be declared clean, depending on specific visual evidence from the priest.
Boils and Burns Examination
- In cases of boils, the presence of white swelling or reddish-white spots helps in assessment.
- If no white hair is present on a boil, the individual is isolated for observation for seven days.
- For burns, a white hair or a reddish-white spot suggests possible infectious disease, while a black spot does not indicate the same.
Final Declarations
- If a boil develops within a seven-day period and no signs of infectious disease are present, the condition may be labeled a scar, allowing for a declaration of cleanliness.
