Context of Leviticus 13:14

12If, however, the disease breaks out on the skin so that the disease covers all the skin of the person with the infection from his head to his feet, as far as the priest can see, 13the priest must then examine it, and if the disease covers his whole body, he is to pronounce the person with the infection clean. He has turned all white, so he is clean. But whenever raw flesh appears in it he will be unclean, 15so the priest is to examine the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean – it is diseased. 16If, however, the raw flesh once again turns white, then he must come to the priest.
