10. The kohen is to examine him, and behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin and it has turned the hair white and if there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11. it is a chronic tza'arat in the skin of his flesh, and the kohen is to pronounce him unclean. He is to isolate him, for he is unclean.
12. “Suppose the tza'arat breaks out above the flesh, and so far as it all appears in the eyes of the kohen, covers all the skin of the infected person from his head to his feet.
13. Then the kohen will see, and behold, if the tza’arat has covered all of his body, he is to pronounce him clean of the plague. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.
14. But whenever raw flesh appears upon him, he will be unclean.
15. The kohen is to examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean—it is tza'arat.
16. Or, if the raw flesh changes and turns white, then he must come to the kohen.
17. The kohen is to examine him, and behold, if the plague has turned white, then the kohen should pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
18. “When the body has a boil on its skin and it has healed,
19. but in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a bright reddish-white spot, then it shall be shown to the kohen.
20. The kohen is to examine it, and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin and its hair has turned white, then the kohen is to pronounce him unclean. It is a plague of tza'arat that has broken out within the boil.
