34. If the priest, upon examining the scall on the seventh day, finds that it has not spread on the skin and that it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, he shall declare the person clean; the latter shall wash his garments, and will thus be clean.
35. But if the scall spreads at all on the skin after the person has been declared clean—
36. should the priest, upon examination, find that the scall has indeed spread on the skin, he need not look for yellow hair; the individual is unclean.
37. If, however, the scall has remained unchanged in color and black hair has grown in it, the disease has been healed; the person is clean, and the priest shall declare the individual clean.
38. When the skin of a man or a woman is spotted with several white blotches,
39. if the priest, upon examination, finds that the blotches on the skin are pale white, it is only tetter that has broken out on the skin, and the person therefore is clean.
40. When a man loses the hair of his head, he is simply bald on the crown and not unclean.
41. So too, if he loses the hair on the front of his head, he is simply bald on the forehead and not unclean.
42. But when there is a reddish white infection on his bald crown or bald forehead, it is a scaly infection that is breaking out there.
43. If the priest, upon examination, finds that the infection spot on the bald area on the crown or forehead has the same reddish white appearance as that of a scaly infection of the skin,
44. the man has a scaly infection and is unclean. The priest shall declare him unclean; his infection is on his head.
45. The garments of one afflicted with a scaly infection shall be rent and the hair disheveled, and the mustache covered. The individual shall cry out, “Unclean, unclean!”
46. As long as the infection is present, the person shall be unclean. Being unclean, that individual shall dwell apart, taking up residence outside the camp.
47. When a fungal infection is on a garment of wool or of linen,
48. or on the warp and woof of linen or wool, or on a hide or anything made of leather,
49. if the infection on the garment or hide, or on the warp or woof, or on any leather article is greenish or reddish, the thing is indeed a fungal infection and must be examined by the priest.
50. Having examined the infection, the priest shall quarantine the infected article for seven days.
51. If the priest, upon inspecting the infection on the seventh day, finds that it has spread on the garment, or on the warp or woof, or on the leather, whatever be its use, the infection is a harmful fungus; the article is unclean.
52. He shall therefore burn up the garment, or the warp or woof, be it of wool or linen, or any leather article which is infected; since it is a harmful fungus, it must be destroyed by fire.
