But if the priest look on it,.... On the hot burning and bright spot in it, in another person:
and, behold, there be no white hair on the white spot, and it be no lower than the other skin; why the word "other" should be supplied I know not, any more than in Leviticus 13:21,
but be somewhat dark; or "contracted"; see Gill on Leviticus 13:21,
then the priest shall shut him up seven days; as in the case of the burning boil or hot ulcer, as in Leviticus 13:21.
