Leviticus 13:35

But if the scall spread much in his skin after cleansing.

Leviticus 13:35 In-Context

33 he shall shave, but the itch he shall not shave. The priest shall confine the person with the itch for seven days more.

34 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the itch; if the itch has not spread in the skin and it appears to be no deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.

35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after he was pronounced clean,

36 the priest shall examine him. If the itch has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean.

37 But if in his eyes the itch is checked, and black hair has grown in it, the itch is healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
