But if the scall spread much in his skin after cleansing.

Leviticus 13:35 In-Context

33 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall seven days more:

34 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and behold, [if] the scall is not spread in the skin, nor [is] in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

35 But if the scall shall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;

36 Then the priest shall look on him: and behold, if the scall is spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he [is] unclean.

37 But if the scall shall be in his sight at a stay, and there is black hair grown in it; the scall is healed, he [is] clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
