Leviticus 13:14 In-Context

12 If a serious disease breaks out that covers all the skin from head to foot, wherever the priest looks,

13 the priest will make a thorough examination; if the disease covers his entire body, he will pronounce the person with the sore clean - since it has turned all white, he is clean.

14 But if they are open, running sores, he is unclean.

15 The priest will examine the open sores and pronounce him unclean. The open sores are unclean; they are evidence of a serious skin disease.

16 But if the open sores dry up and turn white, he is to come back to the priest
