Leviticus 13:30-36 ▼

30 if when the priest examines the skin rash and indeed it appears more extensive than skin deep, and it's accompanied by fine, yellowish hair, then the priest is to declare him unclean. The scales on the head or the beard are an infectious skin disease.

31 But when the priest examines the scales of the skin rash and it doesn't appear more extensive than skin deep and there's no black hair in it, then the priest is to isolate him for seven days.

32 When the priest examines the skin rash on the seventh day and finds that indeed the scab did not spread, there's no yellowish hair on it, and the scales don't appear more extensive than skin deep,

33 then he is to be shaven, but the scab is not to be shaved off. The priest is to isolate him a second time for seven days.

34 The priest is to examine the scab on the seventh day. If, indeed, the scab hasn't spread on the skin and it doesn't appear more extensive than skin deep, then the priest is to declare him clean. He is to wash his garments and be clean.

35 |But if the scales spread on the skin after his cleansing,

36 and the priest examines it and finds the scale to have spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellowish hair, since he is clean.
