Leviticus 13:29–37

²⁹“And when a man or a woman has^f an infection on the head or in the beard, ³⁰then^g the priest shall examine the infection, and if^h its appearance is deeper than the skin and in it is thin bright red hair, thenⁱ the priest shall declare it unclean—it is a diseased area of skin; it is an infectious skin disease of the head or the beard. ³¹But^j if the priest examines the diseased area of the skin’s infection and if^k its appearance is not deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, then^l the priest shall confine the afflicted person with the diseased area of skin for seven days. ³²And the priest shall examine the infection on the seventh day, and if^m the diseased area of skin has not spread and it does not have bright red hair in it and the diseased area of the skin’s appearance is not deeper than the skin, ³³thenⁿ he shall shave himself, but^o he shall not shave the diseased area of skin, and the priest shall confine the person with^p the diseased area of skin a second time for seven days. ³⁴And the priest shall examine the diseased area of skin on the seventh day, and if^q the diseased area has not spread on the skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, then^r the priest shall pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his garments, and he shall be clean. ³⁵But^s if the diseased area of skin has not spread further on the skin after his cleansing, ³⁶then^t the priest shall examine him, and if^u the diseased area of skin has spread on the skin, the priest shall not inspect for bright^v red hair—he is unclean. ³⁷But^w if, in his eyes, the diseased area of skin has stayed unchanged and black hair has grown in it, the diseased area of skin is healed—he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
