5. The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day, and if in his opinion the sore looks the same and has not spread, he shall isolate him for another seven days.
6. The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread, he shall pronounce him ritually clean; it is only a sore. The person shall wash his clothes and be ritually clean.
7. But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him and pronounced him clean, he must appear before the priest again.
8. The priest will examine him again, and if it has spread, he shall pronounce him unclean; it is a dreaded skin disease.
9. If anyone has a dreaded skin disease, he shall be brought to the priest,
10. who will examine him. If there is a white sore on his skin which turns the hairs white and is full of pus,
11. it is a chronic skin disease. The priest shall pronounce him unclean; there is no need to isolate him, because he is obviously unclean.
12. If the skin disease spreads and covers the person from head to foot,
13. the priest shall examine him again. If he finds that it actually has covered the whole body, he shall pronounce the person ritually clean. If his whole skin has turned white, he is ritually clean.
14. But from the moment an open sore appears, he is unclean.
15. The priest shall examine him again, and if he sees an open sore, he shall pronounce him unclean. An open sore means a dreaded skin disease, and the person is unclean.
16. But when the sore heals and becomes white again, the person shall go to the priest,
17. who will examine him again. If the sore has turned white, he is ritually clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
