Context
Infections on the Skin
13:1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron :
13:2 “When someone has a swelling or a scab or a bright spot on the skin of his body that may become a diseased infection , he must be brought to Aaron the priest or one of his sons , the priests .
13:3 The priest must then examine the infection on the skin of the body , and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of the body , then it is a diseased infection , so when the priest examines it he must pronounce the person unclean .
A Bright Spot on the Skin
13:4 “If it is a white bright spot on the skin of his body , but it does not appear to be deeper than the skin , and the hair has not turned white , then the priest is to quarantine the person with the infection for seven days .
13:5 The priest must then examine it on the seventh day , and if, as far as he can see , the infection has stayed the same and has not spread on the skin , then the priest is to quarantine the person for another seven days .
13:6 The priest must then examine it again on the seventh day , and if the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin , then the priest is to pronounce the person clean . It is a scab , so he must wash his clothes and be clean .
13:7 If , however, the scab is spreading further on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his purification , then he must show himself to the priest a second time.
13:8 The priest must then examine it, and if the scab has spread on the skin , then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean . It is a disease .
A Swelling on the Skin
13:9 “When someone has a diseased infection , he must be brought to the priest .
13:10 The priest will then examine it, and if a white swelling is on the skin , it has turned the hair white , and there is raw flesh in the swelling ,
