When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest; (Leviticus 13:9 KJV) And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising; (Leviticus 13:10 KJV) It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean. (Leviticus 13:11 KJV) And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh; (Leviticus 13:12 KJV) Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean. (Leviticus 13:13 KJV) But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. (Leviticus 13:14 KJV) And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy. (Leviticus 13:15 KJV) Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest; (Leviticus 13:16 KJV) And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean. (Leviticus 13:17 KJV) "Raw flesh" is the Hebrew word "khay": which means that which is alive. The idea is that it is red or burning or glossy, in such a way that it almost seems a separate living thing that is attached to the rest of one’s body. Such is the character of evil speech. It takes on a life of its own when allowed to fester. Conversely, the word "white" refers to the morter used to make bricks, which is cool to the touch and becomes part of that which is around it. We can often discern the motive in a thing when we identify the inevitable conclusion- if it leads to unity and reconciliation, then it is not evil speech, though sometimes it can be hard to bear. At the same time, what can seem pleasant and radiant may inevitably burn and consume us from within. |
