Leviticus 13:31-41 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
31
But if, when the priest examines this kind of sore, it does not seem to be more than skin deep and there is no black hair in it, then the priest is to put the infected person in isolation for seven days.1
32
On the seventh day the priest is to examine the sore,2 and if the itch has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it and it does not appear to be more than skin deep,
33
he must be shaved except for the diseased area, and the priest is to keep him in isolation another seven days.
34
On the seventh day the priest is to examine the itch,3 and if it has not spread in the skin and appears to be no more than skin deep, the priest shall pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.4
35
But if the itch does spread in the skin after he is pronounced clean,
36
the priest is to examine him, and if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.5
37
If, however, in his judgment it is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, the itch is healed. He is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38
"When a man or woman has white spots on the skin,
39
the priest is to examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; that person is clean.
40
"When a man has lost his hair and is bald,6 he is clean.
41
If he has lost his hair from the front of his scalp and has a bald forehead, he is clean.
