Leviticus 13:36 Meaning and Commentary

35 But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing,

36 then the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean.

38 And when a man or a woman hath in the skin of the flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
