Context of Leviticus 13:29
27The kohen is to examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the kohen is to pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of tza'arat. 28If the bright spot stays in its place, and has not spread in the skin but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the kohen shall pronounce him clean, for it is merely a scar from the burn. “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the chin, 30then the kohen is to examine the plague, and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the kohen is to pronounce him unclean. It is a scab—tza'arat of the head or the chin. 31If the kohen examines the plague of the scab, and behold its appearance is no deeper than the skin and there is no black hair within, then the kohen is to isolate the person infected with the scab for seven days.
