32. By that time, if the itch hasn't spread, if the hairs seem healthy, and if the itch is only skin deep,

34. By that time, if the itch hasn't spread and seems no more than skin deep, he will say, “You are clean; now you must wash your clothes.”

37. But if he thinks you are completely well, he will say, “You are clean.”
38. If white spots break out on your skin,
