Leviticus 13:35 In-Context

33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the Kohen shall shut him up who has the itch seven more days.

34 On the seventh day, the Kohen shall examine the itch; and, behold, if the itch hasn't spread in the skin, and its appearance isn't deeper than the skin, then the Kohen shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,

36 then the Kohen shall examine him; and, behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the Kohen shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.

37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The Kohen shall pronounce him clean.
