10. Should the priest, upon examination, find that there is a white mark on the skin which has turned the hair white and that there is raw flesh in it,
11. it is a chronic scaly infection on the skin. The priest shall declare the person unclean without quarantine, since the individual is certainly unclean.
12. If the scaly infection breaks out on the skin and, as far as the priest can see, covers all the skin of the afflicted person from head to foot,
13. should the priest then, upon examination, find that the scaly infection does cover the whole body, he shall declare the afflicted person clean; since the person has turned completely white; that individual is clean.
14. But as soon as raw flesh appears, the individual is unclean;
15. on observing the raw flesh, the priest shall declare the person unclean, because raw flesh is unclean; it is a scaly infection.
16. If, however, the raw flesh again turns white, the person shall return to the priest;
17. should the latter, upon examination, find that the infection has indeed turned white, he shall declare the afflicted person clean; the individual is clean.
18. If a boil appeared on a person’s skin which later healed,
19. should now in the place of the boil a white mark or a reddish white blotch develop, the person shall be examined by the priest.
20. If the latter, upon examination, finds that it is deeper than the skin and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare the person unclean; it is a scaly infection that has broken out in the boil.
21. But if the priest, upon examination, finds that there is no white hair in it and that it is not deeper than the skin and is faded, the priest shall quarantine the person for seven days.
