For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, ¹ 

If, however, the scab is spreading further ¹  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.

The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if it is spreading further ¹  on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean. It is a diseased infection. ² 

then the priest is to examine it, and if ¹  the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair. ²  The person ³  is unclean.

When the evening shadows ¹  began to fall on the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I ordered ²  the doors to be closed. I further directed that they were not to be opened until after the Sabbath. I positioned ³  some of my young men at the gates so that no load could enter on the Sabbath day.
