Leviticus 13:24-32 New Century Version (NCV)

24. “When a person gets a burn on his skin, if the open sore becomes white or red,

29. “When a man or a woman gets a sore on the scalp or on the chin,

31. But if the priest looks at it and it does not seem deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, the priest must separate the person from other people for seven days.

32. On the seventh day the priest must look at the sore. If it has not spread, and there are no yellow hairs growing in it, and the sore does not seem deeper than the skin,
