Diagnosis by the Priest
This verse outlines a clear diagnostic process. If 'greenish or reddish' spots appeared on fabric or leather, it was a potential sign of 'leprosy.' Commentators note these were likely intense colors, like scarlet or the green of peacock feathers. The required action was not to self-diagnose or hide the issue, but to immediately present it to the priest for an official examination, highlighting the importance of submitting to spiritual authority.
