Leviticus 13:18-28

¹⁸When someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,

¹⁹but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.

²⁰The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

²¹But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin and has become less bright/shiny, then the priest will order him to stay away from other people for seven days.

²²But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

²³But if that spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.

²⁴When someone has a burn on his skin and a bright/shiny or white spot appears, and the flesh in that area is sensitive/painful,

²⁵the priest must examine the spot. If the hair in that spot has turned white and it seems to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the burn was, and that person must stay away from other people.

²⁶But when the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin, and has faded, the priest will declare that the person must stay away from people for seven days.

²⁷On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the sore is spreading, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

²⁸However, if the spot is not changed and has not spread but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
