But if the shiny spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be more than skin deep, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days.
In context
2“When someone has a swelling, a rash, or a shiny spot on the skin of his body that could become a skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 3The priest is to examine the sore on the skin. If the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears to be more than skin deep, it is a defiling skin disease. When the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean. 4But if the shiny spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be more than skin deep, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days. 5On the seventh day the priest is to examine him, and if the sore appears unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest is to isolate him for another seven days. 6On the seventh day the priest is to examine him again, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean; it is only a rash. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.
