Leviticus 13:29 In-Context

27 The Kohen shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the Kohen shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn't spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the Kohen shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the burn.

29 "When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,

30 then the Kohen shall examine the plague; and, behold, if the appearance of it is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the Kohen shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.

31 If the Kohen examines the plague of itching, and, behold, its appearance isn't deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the Kohen shall isolate him the person infected with itching seven days.
