Vayikra 13:28

28 And if the bright spot stay in its place, and spread not in the skin, but it be dim, it is a swelling of the burn, and the kohen shall pronounce him tahor; for it is an inflammation of the burning.

Vayikra 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.

Vayikra 13:28 In-Context

26 But if the kohen examine it, and, hinei, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no deeper than the other skin, but be dim, then the kohen shall quarantine him shivat yamim;
27 And the kohen shall examine him on the yom hashevi’i; and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is the nega tzara’at.
28 And if the bright spot stay in its place, and spread not in the skin, but it be dim, it is a swelling of the burn, and the kohen shall pronounce him tahor; for it is an inflammation of the burning.
29 If an ish or isha have a nega upon the head or the chin,
30 Then the kohen shall examine the nega, and, hinei, if it be in appearance deeper than the skin, and there be in it a yellow thin hair, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a scale, even a tzara’at upon the head or chin.
