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.
22. If it has then spread on the skin, the priest shall declare the person unclean; it is an infection.
23. But if the blotch remains the same without spreading, it is merely the scar of the boil; the priest shall therefore declare the person clean.
