Leviticus 13:9-19

9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
10 and the priest shall see him; and if the rising looks white in the skin and it has turned the hair white and there is quick raw flesh in the rising,
11 it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean and shall not shut him up, for he is unclean.
12 But if the leprosy breaks out abroad in the skin and the leprosy covers all the skin of him that has the plague from his head even to his feet wherever the priest looks,
13 then the priest shall consider; and if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce the one that has the plague clean; it is all turned white; he is clean.
14 But the day that raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh and pronounce him to be unclean, for the raw flesh is unclean: it is leprosy.
16 But when the raw flesh turns again and is changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
17 and the priest shall see him; and if the plague is turned white; then the priest shall pronounce the one that has the plague clean, and he shall be clean.
18 And when in the flesh, in the skin thereof, there was a boil and is healed,
19 and in the place of the boil there is a white rising or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, it shall be shown to the priest;
