33 He shall be shaven , but the scall shall he not shave ; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:

34 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean : and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean .
