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:

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,

Leviticus 13:17 In-Context

15 The priest shall examine you again, and if he sees an open sore, he shall pronounce you unclean. An open sore means a dreaded skin disease, and you are unclean.

16 But when the sore heals and becomes white again, you shall go to the priest,

17 who will examine you again. If the sore has turned white, you are ritually clean, and the priest shall pronounce you clean.

18 If any of you have a boil that has healed

19 and if afterward a white swelling or a reddish-white spot appears where the boil was, you shall go to the priest.
