According to Moses, who is thought to have written this book, if someone had a skin problem but it turned white, the priest would check and say the person was clean or better. This means the person didn't have to worry anymore about being sick with that problem.

Leviticus 13:17: 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.

Contradiction with Matthew 7:1

This verse advises against judging others, which contrasts with Leviticus 13:17 where the priest must make a judgment on clean or unclean status.

Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Contradiction with James 2:1-4

These verses warn against showing favoritism or making judgments based on appearances, opposing the requirement in Leviticus 13:17 for priests to judge based on skin condition.

James 2:1-4: My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:7

This verse states that God looks at the heart rather than outward appearances, which contradicts the focus on physical appearance in Leviticus 13:17.

1 Samuel 16:7: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. [outward...: Heb. eyes]
