Leviticus 13:34-36
New English Translation
34 The priest must then examine the scall on the seventh day, and if[a] the scall has not spread on the skin and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,[b] then the priest is to pronounce him clean.[c] So he is to wash his clothes and be clean. 35 If, however, the scall spreads further[d] on the skin after his purification, 36 then the priest is to examine it, and if[e] the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair.[f] The person[g] is unclean.
