Leviticus 13:21-31 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

27. On the seventh day the priest will again examine it. If it has continued to spread over the skin, the priest will declare the person unclean; it is an infection of skin disease.

28. But if the shiny spot remains where it was, has not spread over the skin, and is faded, it is just swelling from the burn. The priest will declare the person clean, because it is just the scar from the burn.

29. Whenever a man or woman has an infection, whether on the head or in the beard,

30. the priest will examine it. If it appears to be deeper than the skin, and there is thin yellow hair in it, the priest will declare the person unclean; it is a case of scabies—a skin disease of the head or beard.

31. When the priest examines the scabies infection, if it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, but there is no black hair in it, the priest will quarantine the person with the scabies infection for seven days.
