Context of Leviticus 13:9

7If, however, the scab is spreading further on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his purification, then he must show himself to the priest a second time. 8The priest must then examine it, and if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. It is a disease. “When someone has a diseased infection, he must be brought to the priest. 10The priest will then examine it, and if a white swelling is on the skin, it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling, 11it is a chronic disease on the skin of his body, so the priest is to pronounce him unclean. The priest must not merely quarantine him, for he is unclean.
