Leviticus 13:9-17

9“If anyone has an infectious skin disease, he must be taken to the priest.

10The priest will examine him. If there is a white sore that has turned the hair white, and if there is raw flesh in the sore,

11he has a chronic skin disease. Without putting him in isolation, the priest must declare him unclean because he is unclean.

12If skin disease develops and covers the whole person from head to foot (so far as the priest can see),

13the priest will examine him. If the disease does cover his whole body, the priest must declare the diseased person clean. His body has turned white. The person is clean.

14But if raw flesh appears, he will be unclean.

15The priest will examine the raw flesh and declare him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.

16But if the raw flesh turns white again, he must go to the priest.

17The priest will examine him again, and if the diseased area has turned white, the priest must declare the diseased person clean. He is clean.
