the priest is to examine it, and if the hair in the spot has turned white and it appears to be more than skin deep, it is a skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest is to pronounce him unclean; it is a defiling skin disease.
In context
23But if the spot stays where it is and does not spread, it is only the scar of the boil, and the priest is to pronounce him clean. 24When someone has a burn on his skin from fire, and the raw flesh from the burn becomes a reddish-white or white spot, 25the priest is to examine it, and if the hair in the spot has turned white and it appears to be more than skin deep, it is a skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest is to pronounce him unclean; it is a defiling skin disease. 26But if, when the priest examines it, there is no white hair in the spot, and it is no deeper than the skin, and it has faded, the priest is to isolate him for seven days. 27On the seventh day the priest is to examine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest is to pronounce him unclean; it is a defiling skin disease.
