Leviticus 13:15-26 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. When the priest sees the raw flesh, he will declare the person unclean. Raw flesh is unclean; it is a case of skin disease.

16. But if the raw flesh turns white again, the person will go back to the priest.

17. The priest will examine it. If the infection has turned white, the priest will declare the infected person clean; at that point, the person is clean.

18. Whenever someone has a boil on their skin, it heals,

19. and in place of the boil there is a white swelling or reddish-white shiny spot, it must be shown to the priest.

20. If the priest sees that it appears to be lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest will declare the person unclean. It is an infection of skin disease that has broken out in the boil.

21. But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in it, it is not lower than the skin, and it is faded, the priest will quarantine the person seven days.

22. If it continues to spread over the skin, the priest will declare the person unclean; it is an infection.

23. But if the shiny spot remains where it was and does not spread, it is just a scar from the boil. The priest will declare the person clean.

24. Whenever there is a burn on someone’s skin, and the raw patch of the burn becomes a reddish-white or white shiny spot,

25. the priest will examine it. If the hair has turned white in the shiny spot, and it appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a case of skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest will declare the person unclean; it is an infection of skin disease.

26. But if the priest examines it, and there is no white hair in the shiny spot, it is not lower than the skin, and it is faded, the priest will quarantine the person seven days.
