Leviticus 13:23-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.
