Leviticus 13:9-17

9“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.

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.

14But 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.

17The priest will then examine it, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the person with the infection clean – he is clean.
