Leviticus 13:16-26

Listen to Leviticus 13:16-26
16 "But if the open sores change and turn white, he must go to the priest.
17 The priest must look him over carefully. If the sores have turned white, the priest must announce that the person is 'clean.' Then he will be 'clean.'
18 "Suppose someone has a boil on his skin and it heals.
19 And suppose a white swelling or shiny pink spot appears where the boil was. Then he must show himself to the priest.
20 "The priest must look at the boil carefully. Suppose it seems to be under the skin. And suppose the hair in it has turned white. Then the priest must announce that the person is 'unclean.' A skin disease has broken out where the boil was.
21 "But suppose that when the priest looks at the boil carefully, there is no white hair in it. The boil is not under the skin. And it has faded. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.
22 If the boil is spreading in the skin, the priest must announce that the person is 'unclean.' He has a skin disease.
23 "But suppose the spot has not changed. And suppose it has not spread. Then it is only a scar from the boil. And the priest must announce that the person is 'clean.'
24 "Suppose someone has a burn on his skin. And suppose a white or shiny pink spot shows up in the open sores of the burn.
25 Then the priest must look at the spot carefully. Suppose the hair in it has turned white. And suppose the spot seems to be under the skin. Then the person has a skin disease. It has broken out where he was burned. The priest must announce that the person is 'unclean.' He has a skin disease.
26 "But suppose the priest looks at the spot carefully. Suppose there is no white hair in it. Suppose the spot is not under the skin. And suppose it has faded. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.
