Leviticus 13:18–28

¹⁸“And when someone’s body has^g a skin sore on his skin and it is healed ¹⁹and a white swelling or a pinkish^h spot appears in the skin sore’s place, thenⁱ he shall show himself to the priest. ²⁰And the priest shall examine it,^j and if^k its appearance is deeper than the skin and its hair has changed to white, then^l the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease; it has broken out in the skin sore. ²¹And if the priest examines it and if^m there is no white hair in it and it is not deeper than the skin and it is faded, thenⁿ the priest shall confine him for seven days. ²²But^o if it has spread further on the skin, then^p the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infection. ²³But^q if the spot has stayed unchanged, it has not spread, it is the skin sore’s scar, so^r the priest shall declare him clean.

²⁴“Or when a body has^s a burn-spot from^t fire on its skin and the raw flesh^u of the burn-spot is pinkish^v or white, ²⁵then^w the priest shall examine it, and if^x the hair turns white in the spot and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is an infectious skin disease—it has broken out in the burn-spot; so^y the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease. ²⁶But^z if the priest examines it and if^a there is not white hair in the spot and it is not deeper than the skin and it is faded, then^b the priest shall confine him for seven days. ²⁷And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day; if it has spread further on the skin, then^c the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease. ²⁸But^d if it the spot has stayed unchanged in its place, it has not spread on the skin and it is faded, then it is the burn-spot’s swelling, so^e the priest shall declare him clean, because it is the burn-spot’s scar.
