“A person might have a swelling on his skin, or it may be a scab or a bright spot. If the sore looks like the disease of leprosy, [153] then the person must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests.
On the seventh day the priest must look at the person again. If the spot spread on the skin, then the priest must announce that the person is unclean. It is a leprosy disease.
Seven days later the priest must look at the person again. If the sore has faded, and has not spread on the skin, then the priest must announce that the person is clean. [155] The sore is only a scab. The person must wash his clothes and become clean again.
The priest must look. If the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest must announce that the person is unclean. [156] That is a leprosy [157] disease.
