Leviticus 13:28

28 If by that time the shiny spot has stayed the same and has not spread but has faded, it is only a swelling from the burn. The priest will pronounce him clean; it's only a scar from the burn.

Leviticus 13:28 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:28

And if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not in
the skin
If, after being shut up, seven days, it appears that the spot is no larger than, when it was first viewed, but is as it was, and not at all increased: but it [be] somewhat dark;
either not so bright as it was, or more contracted: it [is] a rising of the burning;
or a swelling of it, a swelling which sprung from it, and nothing else: the priest shall pronounce him clean;
from the leprosy, and so set him at liberty to go where he will, and dwell and converse with men as usual: for it [is] an inflammation of the burning;
or an inflammation or blister occasioned by the burning, and no leprosy.

Leviticus 13:28 In-Context

26 But if on examination there is no white hair in the shiny spot and it doesn't look to be more than skin deep but has faded, the priest will put him in quarantine for seven days.
27 On the seventh day the priest will reexamine him. If by then it has spread over the skin, the priest will diagnose him as unclean; it is a serious skin disease and infectious.
28 If by that time the shiny spot has stayed the same and has not spread but has faded, it is only a swelling from the burn. The priest will pronounce him clean; it's only a scar from the burn.
29 "If a man or woman develops a sore on the head or chin,
30 the priest will offer a diagnosis. If it looks as if it is under the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, he will pronounce the person ritually unclean. It is an itch, an infectious skin disease.
