12And if the skin disease breaks out all over the skin, and the skin disease covers all the skin of the affected person from his head to his feet, as far as the priest can see,

13and the priest examines him, and behold, the skin disease has covered all his flesh, then he shall pronounce the affected person clean; all of it has turned white; he is clean.

14But on the day living flesh appears in it, he shall be unclean.

15When the priest sees the raw flesh, he shall pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.

16Or if the raw flesh turns back and becomes white, then he shall come to the priest.

17And the priest shall examine it, and behold, the diseased spot has turned white; then the priest shall pronounce the spot clean; it is clean.
