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.

³⁸“And when a man or a woman has^x spots on their body’s skin, white spots, ³⁹then^y the priest shall examine them,^z and if^a the spots on their body’s skin are a faded white, it is a skin rash; it has broken out on the skin—it is clean.

⁴⁰“And if a man becomes bald, his head is bald, he is clean. ⁴¹And if he becomes bald from his forehead,^b his head is bald, he is clean. ⁴²But^c if a pinkish^d infection occurs^e on the bald spot or on the bald forehead, it is an infectious skin disease that sprouts on his bald spot or on his bald forehead. ⁴³So^f the priest shall examine him, and if^g the infection’s swelling is pinkish^h on his bald spot or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of an infectious skin disease onⁱ the body, ⁴⁴he is a man afflicted with a skin disease—he is unclean; the priest certainly shall declare him unclean—his infection is on his head.

⁴⁵“As for^j the person who is afflicted with a skin disease, his garments must be torn and his hair^k must be allowed to hang loosely, and he must cover his upper lip, and he must call out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ ⁴⁶For all the days during which the infection is on him, he shall be unclean; he must live alone; his dwelling must be outside the camp.”^l

Regulations About Contaminated Fabrics

⁴⁷“And when the garment has^m an infectious skin diseaseⁿ on it, on a wool garment^o or on a linen garment,^p ⁴⁸or on woven material or on a linen fabric, or^q on wool or on leather or on any work of leather, ⁴⁹and if the infection is yellowish green or reddish on the garment or on the leather or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object,^r it is an infectious skin disease^s and it shall be shown to the priest. ⁵⁰And the priest shall examine the infection, and he shall confine the infected article for seven days. ⁵¹And he shall examine the infection on the seventh day; if the infection has spread on the garment or on the woven material or on the fabric or on the leather, for any work for which the leather is used, the infection is a destructive skin disease^t—it is unclean. ⁵²And he shall burn the garment or the woven material or the fabric, whether wool or linen,^u or any leather object that has^v the infection, because it is an infectious skin disease,^w which is destructive—it must be burned in the fire.

⁵³“But^x if the priest examines it^y and if^z the infection has not spread on the garment or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object,
