4. If, however, the blotch on the skin is white, but does not seem to be deeper than the skin, nor has the hair turned white, the priest shall quarantine the afflicted person for seven days.
5. Should the priest, upon examination on the seventh day, find that the infection has remained unchanged in color and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall quarantine the person for another seven days.
6. Should the priest, upon examination again on the seventh day, find that the infection is now faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall declare the person clean; it was merely a scab. The person shall wash his garments and so become clean.
7. But if, after the person was examined by the priest and declared clean, the scab spreads at all on the skin, the person shall once more be examined by the priest.
8. Should the priest, upon examination, find that the scab has indeed spread on the skin, he shall declare the person unclean; it is a scaly infection.
9. When someone is afflicted with a scaly infection, that person shall be brought to the priest.
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;
