Leviticus 13:24-28
New English Translation

A Burn on the Skin

24 “When a body has a burn on its skin[a] and the raw area of the burn becomes a reddish white or white bright spot, 25 the priest must examine it,[b] and if[c] the hair has turned white in the bright spot and it appears to be deeper than the skin,[d] it is a disease that has broken out in the burn.[e] The priest is to pronounce the person unclean.[f] It is a diseased infection.[g] 26 If, however,[h] the priest examines it and[i] there is no white hair in the bright spot, it is not deeper than the skin,[j] and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days.[k] 27 The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if it is spreading further[l] on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean. It is a diseased infection.[m] 28 But if the bright spot stays in its place, has not spread on the skin,[n] and it has faded, then it is the swelling of the burn, so the priest is to pronounce him clean,[o] because it is the scar of the burn.
