35. But if the sore spreads on the skin after the person has become clean,
36. the priest must look at him again. If the sore has spread on the skin, the priest doesn’t need to look for the yellowish hair; the person is unclean.
37. But if the priest thinks the sore has stopped spreading, and black hair is growing in it, the sore has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must announce that he is clean.
38. “When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
39. a priest must look at them. If the spots on the skin are dull white, the disease is only a harmless rash. That person is clean.
40. “When anyone loses hair from his head and is bald, he is clean.
41. If he loses hair from the front of his head and has a bald forehead, he is clean.
42. But if there is a red-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is a skin disease breaking out in those places.
43. A priest must look at that person. If the swelling of the sore on his bald head or forehead is red-white, like a skin disease that spreads,
44. that person has a skin disease. He is unclean. The priest must announce that the person is unclean because of the sore on his head.
45. “If a person has a skin disease that spreads, he must warn other people by shouting, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ His clothes must be torn at the seams, he must let his hair stay uncombed, and he must cover his mouth.
46. That person will be unclean the whole time he has the disease; he is unclean. He must live alone outside the camp.
47. “Clothing might have mildew on it. It might be clothing made of linen or wool
48. (either woven or knitted), or of leather, or something made from leather.
49. If the mildew in the clothing, leather, or woven or knitted material is green or red, it is a spreading mildew. It must be shown to the priest.
50. The priest must look at the mildew, and he must put that piece of clothing in a separate place for seven days.
51. On the seventh day he must look at the mildew again. If the mildew has spread on the cloth (either woven or knitted) or the leather, no matter what the leather was used for, it is a mildew that destroys; it is unclean.
52. The priest must burn the clothing. It does not matter if it is woven or knitted, wool or linen, or made of leather, because the mildew is spreading. It must be burned.
53. “If the priest sees that the mildew has not spread in the cloth (either knitted or woven) or leather,
54. he must order the people to wash that piece of leather or cloth. Then he must separate the clothing for seven more days.
