16 “If the raw skin changes and becomes white, the person must come to the priest.
17 The priest must look at the person. If the skin has become white, the person who had the infection is clean, and the priest must announce this.
18 “Someone might get a boil on their skin that heals over.
19 Then that boil might become a white swelling or a bright, white spot with red streaks in it. If this happens, the person must show that spot to the priest.
20 The priest must look at it. If the swelling is deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has become white, the priest must announce that the person is unclean. The spot is leprosy that has broken out from inside the boil.
21 But if the priest looks at the spot, and there are no white hairs in it, and the spot is not deeper than the skin but is faded, the priest must separate the person for seven days.
22 If the spot spreads on the skin, the priest must announce that the person is unclean; it is an infection.
