Leviticus 13:22-31 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

22. If it spreads further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.

23. But if the spot remains where it is and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil. The priest is to pronounce him clean.

24. “When there is a burn on the skin of one’s body produced by fire, and the patch made raw by the burn becomes reddish-white or white,

25. the priest is to examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.

26. But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in the spot and it is not beneath the skin but is faded, the priest must quarantine him seven days.

27. The priest will reexamine him on the seventh day. If it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.

28. But if the spot has remained where it was and has not spread on the skin but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn. The priest is to pronounce him clean, for it is only the scar from the burn.

29. “When a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,

30. the priest must examine the infection. If it appears to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and sparse, the priest must pronounce the person unclean. It is a scaly outbreak, a skin disease of the head or chin.

31. When the priest examines the scaly infection, if it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest must quarantine the person with the scaly infection for seven days.
