Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:

He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the leprosy is, and he shall shut it up other seven days.

then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the sore is, and he shall shut it up seven days a second time.

then hath the priest commanded, and they have washed that in which the plague is, and he hath shut it up a second seven days.

Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more:

he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up for another seven days.

Tune praecipiet sacerdos, et lavabunt id in quo est plaga: et recludet illud septem diebus secundo.

He shall shut it up seven days more - To give time for the spreading of the contagion, if it did exist there; that there might be the most unequivocal marks and proofs that the garment was or was not infected.

Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is,.... The priest did not wash it himself, but ordered others to do it; and this was either the part in which the plague was, or the whole garment or skin in which it was; which may be typical of the washing of the garments of men in the blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin, Revelation 7:14,
and he shall shut it up seven days more: the garment or skin in which the leprosy was, or suspected to be, to see what alteration would be made by that time through the washing, whether the colour would be altered, or whether it would spread any more or not.
