Leviticus 13:9-17 - A Swelling On The Skin

⁹ If any of you have a dreaded skin disease, you should be brought to the priest. ¹⁰ He will examine you. If there is a white sore on your skin that turns the hairs white and is full of pus, ¹¹ it is a chronic skin disease. The priest will pronounce you unclean. There is no need to isolate you. You are obviously unclean. ¹² If the skin disease spreads and covers you from head to foot, ¹³ the priest should examine you again. If he finds that it actually has covered the whole body, he will pronounce you ritually clean. If your whole skin has turned white you are ritually clean. ¹⁴ The moment an open sore appears you are unclean. ¹⁵ The priest will examine you again. If he sees an open sore, he will pronounce you unclean. An open sore means a dreaded skin disease. You are unclean. ¹⁶ When the sore heals and becomes white again, you should go to the priest. ¹⁷ He will examine you again. If the sore has turned white you are ritually clean. The priest will pronounce you clean.
