Three kinds of skin conditions are identified. The first condition is “swelling” of the skin. The term is derived from the Hebrew root which means “to lift up.” In all likelihood, this condition refers to some type of skin growth. The second condition is “an eruption.” This term is derived from the root which means “to make scabby.” The third condition is “a spot.” The Hebrew root of this term means “to shine bright.”
2 Lorsqu'un homme aura sur la peau de son corps une tumeur, une dartre, ou une tache blanche, qui ressemblera à une plaie de lèpre sur la peau de son corps, on l'amènera au sacrificateur Aaron, ou à l'un de ses fils qui sont sacrificateurs.
