29. If leprosy will have sprung up in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall look upon them,
30. and if the place is certainly lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is golden, and thinner than usual, he shall declare them contaminated, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard.
31. But if he sees that the place of the spot is equal with the nearby flesh, and that the hair is black, he shall seclude him for seven days,
32. and on the seventh day he shall examine it. If the spot has not increased, and the hair has kept its color, and the place of the mark is equal with the rest of the flesh,
33. the man shall be shaven, except in the place of the spot, and he shall be secluded for another seven days.
34. On the seventh day, if the mark seems to have stayed in its place, and it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, he shall declare him clean, and, his clothes having been washed, he shall be clean.
35. But if, after his cleansing, the spot will have increased again in the skin,
36. he shall no longer inquire as to whether the hair has turned yellow, because he is plainly unclean.
37. Furthermore, if the spot has not increased, and the hair is black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.
