⁹“When an infectious skin disease is on a person and he is brought to the priest, ¹⁰the priest shall examine it,^p and if^q a white swelling is on the skin and it turns the hair white and raw flesh^r is in the swelling, ¹¹it is a chronic infectious skin disease on his body’s skin, and the priest shall declare him unclean; he shall not confine him, because he is unclean. ¹²And if the infectious skin disease breaks out all over on the skin and the infectious skin disease covers all of the afflicted person’s skin from his head to his feet, so far as the priest can see,^s ¹³then^t the priest shall examine it,^u and if^v the infectious skin disease covers his whole body, then^w he shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—all of it has turned white; he is clean. ¹⁴But^x whenever^y raw flesh^z appears on him, he shall become unclean. ¹⁵And the priest shall examine the raw flesh,^a and he shall pronounce him unclean—the raw flesh^b is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease. ¹⁶Or, when the raw flesh^c returns and it has changed to white, then^d he shall come to the priest, ¹⁷and the priest shall examine him, and if^e the infection has changed to white, then^f the priest shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—he is clean.

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.
