Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Several of these characteristics, taken separately, belong to other blemishes of the skin as well; so that none of them was to be taken alone, and it was only when the whole of them concurred that the Jewish priest, in his capacity of physician, was to pronounce the disease a malignant leprosy.

This site's exposition

in the skin thereof, was a boil

on Leviticus 13:18-28

The same procedure runs twice more for sores that begin from something else, a boil that healed and a burn. The signs looked for do not change, white hair and a depth below the skin, and the seven days return in both. The word healed occurs twice in the chapter, at verse 18 and verse 37, and in both places it describes something that got better on its own.
