18
If any of you have a boil that has healed
19
and if afterward a white swelling or a reddish-white spot appears where the boil was, you shall go to the priest.
20
The priest shall examine you, and if the spot seems to be deeper than the surrounding skin and the hairs in it have turned white, he shall pronounce you unclean. It is a dreaded skin disease that has started in the boil.
21
But if the priest examines it and finds that the hairs in it have not turned white and that it is not deeper than the surrounding skin, but is light in color, the priest shall isolate you for seven days.
22
If the spot spreads, the priest shall pronounce you unclean; you are diseased.
23
But if it remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar left from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce you ritually clean.
24
In case any of you have been burned, if the raw flesh becomes white or reddish-white,
25
the priest shall examine you. If the hairs in the spot have turned white and it appears deeper than the surrounding skin, it is a dreaded skin disease that has started in the burn, and the priest shall pronounce you unclean.
26
But if the hairs in it have not turned white and it is not deeper than the surrounding skin, but is light in color, the priest shall isolate you for seven days.
27
The priest shall examine you again on the seventh day, and if it is spreading, it is a dreaded skin disease, and the priest shall pronounce you unclean.
28
But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread and is light in color, it is not a dreaded skin disease. The priest shall pronounce you ritually clean, because it is only a scar from the burn.
29
When any of you, male or female, have a sore on your head or chin,
30
the priest shall examine it. If it seems to be deeper than the surrounding skin and the hairs in it are yellowish and thin, it is a dreaded skin disease, and he shall pronounce you unclean.
31
If, when the priest examines you, the sore does not appear to be deeper than the surrounding skin, but there are still no healthy hairs in it, he shall isolate you for seven days.
32
The priest shall examine the sore again on the seventh day, and if it has not spread and there are no yellowish hairs in it and it does not seem to be deeper than the surrounding skin,
33
you shall shave the head except the area around the sore. The priest shall then isolate you for another seven days.
34
On the seventh day the priest shall again examine the sore, and if it has not spread and does not seem to be deeper than the surrounding skin, he shall pronounce you ritually clean. You shall wash your clothes, and you will be clean.
35
But if the sore spreads after you have been pronounced clean,
36
the priest shall examine you again. If the sore has spread, he need not look for yellowish hairs; you are obviously unclean.
37
But if in the priest's opinion the sore has not spread and healthy hairs are growing in it, the sore has healed, and the priest shall pronounce you ritually clean.
38
When any of you, male or female, have white spots on the skin,
39
the priest shall examine you. If the spots are dull white, it is only a blemish that has broken out on the skin; you are ritually clean.
40
If you lose your hair at the back or the front of your head, this does not make you unclean.
42
But if a reddish-white sore appears on the bald spot, it is a dreaded skin disease.
43
The priest shall examine you, and if there is a reddish-white sore,
44
the priest shall pronounce you unclean, because of the dreaded skin disease on your head.
