Leviticus 13:17
17The priest will then examine it, ▼▼ Heb “and the priest shall see it.”
and if ▼▼ Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).
the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the person with the infection clean ▼▼ Heb “the priest shall pronounce the infection clean,” but see v.
4 above. Also, this is another use of the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (
taher, cf. the note on v.
6 above).
– he is clean.
