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

an infection on the head or chin

on Leviticus 13:29-37

A plague on the head or in the beard is judged by the colour of hair, yellow against black. The man is shaven everywhere except the patch itself, so the priest keeps the evidence and clears the ground around it.

This site's exposition

there is no yellow hair in it

Three checks are run again at the end of the first week, spreading, yellow hair and depth. All three must come back clear before the next step. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown say the case was judged on the signs together, and this verse lists them together.

proposed

To lament the calamitous state of human life, which lies exposed to so many grievances. What troops of diseases are we beset with on every side! and they all entered by sin. To give thanks to God if he has never afflicted us with any of these sores: if the constitution is healthful, and the body lively and easy, we are bound to glorify God with our bodies.
