Context of Leviticus 13:9

7A person might see that the mark on his skin had grown. This might happen after the priest had said that the disease had left him. Then the person must go again to the priest. 8The priest must look at the person. The mark might be bigger. The priest must say that the person has a disease. It is a disease that he could give to other people. If a person has a disease on his skin, you must bring him to the priest. 10The priest must look at the person. If the skin has a white mark and white hair on it, the person has a disease. If the mark has no skin on part of it, the person has a disease. But it may not be a disease that he could give to other people. 11The priest must say that the person is not clean. The priest need not keep him separate from the people. He already has a disease.
