Leviticus 13:10

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"and the priest shall look; and, behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising," — Leviticus 13:10 (ASV)

If the rising be white - Or, if there be a white rising. The term very probably denotes the white bulla or patch of anesthetic elephantiasis when it has reappeared.

Quick raw flesh in the rising - The margin gives the literal rendering. The symptom here noted exhibits a more advanced stage of the disease. The expression might denote an ulcer or open sore with “proud flesh” appearing in it.
