³⁴On the seventh day the priest will examine the scab again. If the scab has not spread on the skin and does not look deeper than the rest of the skin, the priest must declare him clean. When he has washed his clothes, he will be clean. ³⁵But if the scab spreads after the person has been declared clean, ³⁶the priest will make another examination.
