The laws whereby the priest is to be guided in discerning the leprosy.The priest is to examine him In ancient Israel, the role of the priest extended beyond spiritual leadership to include responsibilities akin to those of a public health official. The Hebrew word for "priest" is "kohen," which signifies a person who serves as a mediator between God and the people. The examination by the priest underscores the importance of discernment and wisdom in leadership roles. It reflects the need for spiritual leaders to be involved in the holistic well-being of the community, addressing both spiritual and physical health. if the swollen sore on his head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease As the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh.--Better, in appearance like the leprosy in the skin of the flesh. Though the reddish-white eruption is the only symptom mentioned whereby head-leprosy is to be recognised, and nothing is said about remanding the patient if the distemper should appear doubtful, as in the other cases of leprosy, yet because it is here said "in appearance like the leprosy in the skin of the flesh," the administrators of the law during the second Temple inferred that all the criteria specified in one are implied in the other. They interpret this phrase, "they are, and therefore must be treated like, leprosy in the skin of the flesh." Hence they submit that there are two symptoms which render baldness in the front or at the back of the head unclean: viz., (1) live or sound flesh; and (2) spreading. "If live or sound flesh is found in the bright spot on the baldness at the back or in the front of the head, he is pronounced unclean; if there is no live flesh, he is shut up, and examined at the end of the week, and if live flesh has developed itself, and it has spread, he is declared unclean, and if not, he is shut up for another week. If it spreads during this time, or engenders live flesh, he is declared unclean, and if not, he is declared clean. He is also pronounced unclean if it spreads or engenders sound flesh after he has been declared clean." Of course, the fact that the distemper in this instance develops itself on baldness precludes white hair being among the criteria indicating uncleanness.
