12
If the skin disease spreads and covers you from head to foot,
13
the priest shall examine you again. If he finds that it actually has covered the whole body, he shall pronounce you ritually clean. If your whole skin has turned white, you are ritually clean.
14
But from the moment an open sore appears, you are unclean.
15
The priest shall examine you again, and if he sees an open sore, he shall pronounce you unclean. An open sore means a dreaded skin disease, and you are unclean.
16
But when the sore heals and becomes white again, you shall go to the priest,
