Leviticus 13:29–37

²⁹“Now if a man or woman has an infection on the head or on the beard,

³⁰then the priest shall look at the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and there is thin yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scale, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.

³¹“But if the priest looks at the infection of the scale, and indeed, it appears to be no deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall ¹isolate the person with the scaly infection for seven days.

³²“On the seventh day the priest shall look at the infection, and if the scale has not spread and no yellowish hair has ¹grown in it, and the appearance of the scale is no deeper than the skin,

³³then he shall shave himself, but he shall not shave the scale; and the priest shall ¹isolate the person with the scale seven more days.

³⁴“Then on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scale, and if the scale has not spread in the skin and it appears to be no deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

³⁵“But if the scale spreads farther in the skin after his cleansing,

³⁶then the priest shall look at him, and if the scale has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellowish hair; he is unclean.

³⁷“If in his sight the scale has remained, however, and black hair has grown in it, the scale has healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
