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
17
who will reexamine him; if the sores have turned white, the priest will pronounce the person with the sores clean. He is clean.

"When a person has a boil and it heals
19
and in place of the boil there is white swelling or a reddish-white shiny spot, the person must present himself to the priest
20
for an examination. If it looks like it has penetrated the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest will pronounce him unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has broken out in the boil.
21
But if the examination shows that there is no white hair in it and it is only skin deep and has faded, the priest will put him in quarantine for seven days.
22
If it then spreads over the skin, the priest will diagnose him as unclean. It is infectious.
23
But if the shiny spot has not changed and hasn't spread, it's only a scar from the boil. The priest will pronounce him clean.
