19. should now in the place of the boil a white mark or a reddish white blotch develop, the person shall be examined by the priest.
20. If the latter, upon examination, finds that it is deeper than the skin and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare the person unclean; it is a scaly infection that has broken out in the boil.
21. But if the priest, upon examination, finds that there is no white hair in it and that it is not deeper than the skin and is faded, the priest shall quarantine the person for seven days.
22. If it has then spread on the skin, the priest shall declare the person unclean; it is an infection.
23. But if the blotch remains the same without spreading, it is merely the scar of the boil; the priest shall therefore declare the person clean.
24. If there was a burn on a person’s skin, and the burned area now becomes a reddish white or a white blotch,
25. when the priest, upon examination, finds that the hair has turned white in the blotch and this seems to be deeper than the skin, it is a scaly infection that has broken out in the burn; the priest shall therefore declare the person unclean; it is a scaly infection.
26. But if the priest, upon examination, finds that there is no white hair in the blotch and that this is not deeper than the skin and is faded, the priest shall quarantine the person for seven days.
27. Should the priest, upon examination on the seventh day, find that it has spread at all on the skin, he shall declare the person unclean; it is a scaly infection.
28. But if the blotch remains the same without spreading on the skin and is faded, it is merely the spot of the burn; the priest shall therefore declare the person clean, since it is only the scar of the burn.
