24. Whenever there is a burn on someone’s skin, and the raw patch of the burn becomes a reddish-white or white shiny spot,
25. the priest will examine it. If the hair has turned white in the shiny spot, and it appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a case of skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest will declare the person unclean; it is an infection of skin disease.

33. the person must shave the area, without shaving the scabies. The priest will then quarantine that person another seven days.
34. On the seventh day the priest will again examine the scabies. If it has not spread over the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest will declare the person clean. They must wash their clothes; then they will be clean again.
35. But if the scabies continues to spread over the skin after the person’s purification,
