Leviticus 13:25-26

13:25 the priest must examine it,¹ and if² the hair has turned white in the bright spot and it appears to be deeper than the skin,³ it is a disease that has broken out in the burn.⁴ The priest is to pronounce the person unclean.⁵ It is a diseased infection.⁶ 13:26 If, however,⁷ the priest examines it and⁸ there is no white hair in the bright spot, it is not deeper than the skin,⁹ and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days.¹⁰
