14 But from the moment an open sore appears, you are unclean.
15 The priest shall examine you again, and if he sees an open sore, he shall pronounce you unclean. An open sore means a dreaded skin disease, and you are unclean.
16 But when the sore heals and becomes white again, you shall go to the priest,
17 who will examine you again. If the sore has turned white, you are ritually clean, and the priest shall pronounce you clean.
18 If any of you have a boil that has healed
19 and if afterward a white swelling or a reddish-white spot appears where the boil was, you shall go to the priest.
20 The priest shall examine you, and if the spot seems to be deeper than the surrounding skin and the hairs in it have turned white, he shall pronounce you unclean. It is a dreaded skin disease that has started in the boil.
