Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 13:23/אבן עזרא על ויקרא י״ג:כ״ג
אואם תחתיה. אם עמדה במקומה כי יש נגע שיסע ממקום אל מקום:
1IN ITS PLACE.49 (literally, beneath it). If the affliction stays in its place,50 is to be rendered, it its place. for there are afflictions that move from place to place.
בצרבת. כמו ונצרב׳ בו כל פנים כטעם מוקד וחום ולהבת:
2SCAR. The word tzarevet (scar) is similar to the word ve-nitzrevu (shall be seared) in and all faces…shall be seared (Ezek. 21:30). It has the meaning of a burning mass, heat, and a flame.51 (scar) is a mark caused by the searing of the skin. It does not indicate disease.
