Leviticus 13:34

34 On the seventh day the priest will examine the scab again. If the scab has not spread on the skin and does not look deeper than the rest of the skin, the priest must declare him clean. When he has washed his clothes, he will be clean.

Leviticus 13:34 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:34

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall,
&c.] That is, according to Ben Gersom, on the thirteenth day from the first inspection of him by the priest: and, behold, [if] the scall be not spread in the skin, nor [be] in
sight deeper than the skin;
neither appears spread on the surface of the skin, nor to have eaten into the flesh under it; also no thin yellow hair, though it is not expressed, for that made a person unclean, though there was no spreading: then the priest shall pronounce him clean;
free from a leprosy: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean;
there was no need to say he shall wash them in water, as Aben Ezra observes, that is supposed; and then he was looked upon as a clean person, and might go into the sanctuary, and have conversation with men, both in a civil and religious way, and not defile anything he sat upon.

Leviticus 13:34 In-Context

32 On the seventh day the priest will examine the disease. If the scab has not spread, there is no yellow hair on it, and the scab does not look deeper than the rest of the skin,
33 the person will shave everything except the scab. The priest will put the person with the scab in isolation for another seven days.
34 On the seventh day the priest will examine the scab again. If the scab has not spread on the skin and does not look deeper than the rest of the skin, the priest must declare him clean. When he has washed his clothes, he will be clean.
35 But if the scab spreads after the person has been declared clean,
36 the priest will make another examination. If the scab has spread on the skin, the priest does not have to look for yellow hair. The person is unclean.
