Leviticus 13:24

A Burn on the Skin

13:24 “When a body has a burn on its skin ¹  and the raw area of the burn becomes a reddish white or white bright spot,

Leviticus 13:28

13:28 But if the bright spot stays in its place, has not spread on the skin, ²  and it has faded, then it is the swelling of the burn, so the priest is to pronounce him clean, ³  because it is the scar of the burn.

Leviticus 13:25

13:25 the priest must examine it, ⁴  and if ⁵  the hair has turned white in the bright spot and it appears to be deeper than the skin, ⁶  it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. ⁷  The priest is to pronounce the person unclean. ⁸  It is a diseased infection. ⁹
