Leviticus 13 verse 18-23
Regulations About Defiling Skin Diseases
18 “When someone has a boil on their skin and it heals, 19 and in the place where the boil was, a white swelling or reddish-white spot appears, they must present themselves to the priest. 20 The priest is to examine it, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce that person unclean. It is a defiling skin disease that has broken out where the boil was. 21 But if, when the priest examines it, there is no white hair in it and it is not more than skin deep and has faded, then the priest is to isolate them for seven days. 22 If it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling disease. 23 But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce them clean.
My point of view about above verses
God told Moses about skin disease & a person having such disease is clean or unclean. A person who has boil on skin and it heels & in the place where the boil was a white swelling or reddish white spot appears is brought to the priest or one of his sons (the priest). He has to examine the sore and if it appears to be more than skin deep-and hair in it has turned white then it is a defiling skin disease and priest shall pronounce them unclean. If skin is white but does not appear to be more than skin deep and hair on it is not turned white and has faded – the priest has to isolate affected person for seven days – on 7th day the priest has to examine him and if spot has faded and not spread in the skin , the priest shall pronounce him clean. But if it has spread in the skin he shall pronounce him unclean
