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
When anyone develops a skin disease
on Leviticus 13:9-17
A man covered from head to foot is pronounced clean at verse 13, and raw flesh appearing on him makes him unclean at verse 14. What defiles is the living sore, whatever the extent of the whiteness.
