Leviticus 13:15

And the priest shall see the raw flesh
Or when he sees it, the person being brought to him to be viewed:

and pronounce him to be unclean;
or shall pronounce him to be unclean:

Leviticus 13:15 In-Context

13 then the cohen is to examine him, and if he sees that the tzara'at has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the person with the sores clean -it has all turned white, and he is clean.

14 But if one day inflamed flesh appears on him, he will be unclean.

15 The cohen will examine the inflamed flesh and declare him unclean; the inflamed flesh is unclean; it is tzara'at.

16 However, if the inflamed flesh again turns white, he is to come to the cohen.

17 The cohen will examine him, and if he sees that the sores have turned white, then the cohen is to declare clean the person with the sores; he is clean.
