31
But if the priest examines the scabby disease and it does not look deeper than the rest of the skin and there is no black hair in it, the priest must put the person with the scabby disease in isolation for seven days.
32
On the seventh day the priest will examine the disease. If the scab has not spread, there is no yellow hair on it, and the scab does not look deeper than the rest of the skin,
33
the person will shave everything except the scab. The priest will put the person with the scab in isolation for another seven days.
34
On the seventh day the priest will examine the scab again. If the scab has not spread on the skin and does not look deeper than the rest of the skin, the priest must declare him clean. When he has washed his clothes, he will be clean.
35
But if the scab spreads after the person has been declared clean,
36
the priest will make another examination. If the scab has spread on the skin, the priest does not have to look for yellow hair. The person is unclean.
37
But if he sees that the scab hasn't spread and black hair grows on it, the scab is healed. The person is clean, so the priest must declare him clean.
38
"If a man or a woman has white irritated areas of skin,
39
the priest will make an examination. If the irritated areas on the skin are pale white, a rash has developed on the skin. The person is clean.
40
"If a man loses his hair, he is clean, even though he is bald.
41
If he loses the hair on the front of his head, he is clean, even though he is bald on the forehead.
42
But if there is a pink patch on the bald places in back or in front, a skin disease is developing in those places.
43
The priest will examine him. If the sore from the disease in the bald places in back or in front is pink like a skin disease somewhere else on the body,
44
the man has come down with an infectious skin disease. He is unclean. The priest must declare him unclean because of the skin disease on his head.
45
"People who come down with a skin disease must wear torn clothes and leave their hair uncombed. They must cover their upper lips and call out, 'Unclean, unclean!'
46
As long as they have the skin disease, they are unclean. They must live outside the camp.
47
"Now about clothing--if there is a green or red area on a piece of clothing
48
that is woven or knitted from linen or wool or on any leather article,
49
it is mildew. It must be shown to the priest.
50
The priest will examine the mildew and will put the clothing in a separate place for seven days.
51
On the seventh day he will examine the area again. If the spot is spreading, it is unclean.
