Leviticus 13:35-44 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

42. But whenever there is a reddish-white infection in the bald spot or in the receding hairline, it is a case of skin disease breaking out there.

43. The priest must examine it. If the swelling of the infection is reddish white in the bald spot or receding hairline and resembles skin disease on the body,

44. the person is afflicted with skin disease; they are unclean. The priest must declare them unclean on account of the head infection.
