Leviticus 13:17

And the priest shall see him
Review him, and examine him thoroughly:

and, behold, [if] the plague be turned into white;
the raw flesh in the swelling, which looked red, is become white:

then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague;
that was supposed to have the plague of leprosy; but upon a review, and on this change of things, has not, he shall declare him free from it,

he [is] clean;
and under no obligation to the laws and rites concerning it.

Leviticus 13:17 In-Context

15 Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean. For live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean.

16 And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man:

17 The priest shall view him, and shall judge him to be clean.

18 When also there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has been healed:

19 And in the place of the ulcer, there appeareth a white scar, or somewhat red, the man shall be brought to the priest.
