Leviticus 13:9-19

9 And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come to the priest;
10 and the priest shall look, and, behold, if it is a white spot in the skin, and it has changed the hair to white, and some of the sound part of the quick flesh in the sore—
11 it is a leprosy waxing old in the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall separate him, because he is unclean.
12 And if the leprosy should have come out very evidently in the skin, and the leprosy should cover all the skin of the patient from the head to the feet, wheresoever the priest shall look;
13 then the priest shall look, and, behold, the leprosy has covered all the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague, because it has changed all to white, it is clean.
14 But on whatsoever day the quick flesh shall appear on him, he shall be pronounced unclean.
15 And the priest shall look upon the sound flesh, and the sound flesh shall prove him to be unclean; for it is unclean, it is a leprosy.
16 But if the sound flesh be restored and changed white, then shall he come to the priest;
17 and the priest shall see , and, behold, the plague is turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the patient clean: he is clean.
18 And if the flesh should have become an ulcer in his skin, and should be healed,
19 and there should be in the place of the ulcer a white sore, or looking white and bright, or fiery, and it shall be seen by the priest;
