Leviticus 13 — Context

A Swelling on the Skin“When someone has a diseased infection, he must be brought to the priest.

The priest will then examine it, and if a white swelling is on the skin, it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,

it is a chronic disease on the skin of his body, so the priest is to pronounce him unclean. The priest must not merely quarantine him, for he is unclean.

If, however, the disease breaks out on the skin so that the disease covers all the skin of the person with the infection from his head to his feet, as far as the priest can see,

the priest must then examine it, and if the disease covers his whole body, he is to pronounce the person with the infection clean. He has turned all white, so he is clean.

But whenever raw flesh appears in it he will be unclean,

so the priest is to examine the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean– it is diseased.
