Leviticus 13 — Context

22

And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy.

23

But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.

24

But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar,

25

the priest shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar.

26

But if the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days,

27

and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated.

28

But if the whiteness stays in its place and is not very clear, it is the mark of a burn, and for this reason he shall be declared clean, because it is only the scar from a burn.
