Leviticus 13:9-17

9“When one has a plague oftza'arat, he is to be brought to the kohen.

10The kohen is to examine him, and behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin and it has turned the hair white and if there is raw flesh in the swelling,

11it is a chronic tza'arat in the skin of his flesh, and the kohen is to pronounce him unclean. He is to isolate him, for he is unclean.

12“Suppose the tza'arat breaks out above the flesh, and so far as it all appears in the eyes of the kohen, covers all the skin of the infected person from his head to his feet.

13Then the kohen will see, and behold, if the tza’arat has covered all of his body, he is to pronounce him clean of the plague. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.

14But whenever raw flesh appears upon him, he will be unclean.

15The kohen is to examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean—it is tza'arat.

16Or, if the raw flesh changes and turns white, then he must come to the kohen.

17The kohen is to examine him, and behold, if the plague has turned white, then the kohen should pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
