Leviticus 13:33-41 Common English Bible (CEB)

33. the person must shave the area, without shaving the scabies. The priest will then quarantine that person another seven days.

34. On the seventh day the priest will again examine the scabies. If it has not spread over the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest will declare the person clean. They must wash their clothes; then they will be clean again.

35. But if the scabies continues to spread over the skin after the person’s purification,

36. the priest must examine it again. If the scabies has spread over the skin at all, the priest does not need to look for the yellow hair; the person is unclean.

37. But if the priest sees that the scabies has remained the same, and black hair has grown in it, the scabies has healed. The person is clean, and the priest will declare them to be so.

38. Whenever a man or woman has many white shiny spots on their skin,

39. if the priest sees that there are faded white shiny spots on the skin of the body, it is just a rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

40. If someone loses their hair, they are bald, but they are clean.

41. If the hair is lost at the sides of the forehead, the person has a receding hairline, but they are clean.
