⁹“If a person has a harmful skin disease, he must be brought to the priest, ¹⁰and the priest must look at him. If there is a white swelling in the skin, and the hair has become white, and the skin looks raw in the swelling, ¹¹it is a harmful skin disease. It is one he has had for a long time. The priest must announce that the person is unclean. He will not need to separate that person from other people, because everyone already knows that the person is unclean.

¹²“If the skin disease spreads all over a person’s body, covering his skin from his head to his feet, as far as the priest can see, the priest must look at the person’s whole body. ¹³If the priest sees that the disease covers the whole body and has turned all of the person’s skin white, he must announce that the person is clean.

¹⁴“But when the person has an open sore, he is unclean. ¹⁵When the priest sees the open sore, he must announce that the person is unclean. The open sore is not clean; it is a harmful skin disease. ¹⁶If the open sore becomes white again, the person must come to the priest. ¹⁷The priest must look at him, and if the sores have become white, the priest must announce that the person with the sores is clean. Then he will be clean.

¹⁸“Someone may have a boil on his skin that is healed. ¹⁹If in the place where the boil was, there is a white swelling or a bright red spot, this place on the skin must be shown to the priest. ²⁰And the priest must look at it. If the spot seems deeper than the skin and the hair on it has become white, the priest must announce that the person is unclean. The spot is a harmful skin disease that has broken out from inside the boil. ²¹But if the priest looks at the spot and there are no white hairs in it and the spot is not deeper than the skin and it has faded, the priest must separate the person from other people for seven days. ²²If the spot spreads on the skin, the priest must announce that the person is unclean; it is a disease that will spread. ²³But if the bright spot does not spread or change, it is only the scar from the old boil. Then the priest must announce that the person is clean.

²⁴“When a person gets a burn on his skin, if the open sore becomes white or red, ²⁵the priest must look at it. If the white spot seems deeper than the skin and the hair at that spot has become white, it is a harmful skin disease. The disease has broken out in the burn, and the priest must announce that the person is unclean. It is a harmful skin disease. ²⁶But if the priest looks at the spot and there is no white hair in the bright spot, and the spot is no deeper than the skin and has faded, the priest must separate the person from other people for seven days. ²⁷On the seventh day the priest must look at him again. If the spot has spread on the skin, the priest must announce that the person is unclean. It is a harmful skin disease. ²⁸But if the bright spot has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is the swelling from the burn. The priest must announce that the person is clean, because the spot is only a scar from the burn.
