Leviticus 13 verse 24-28
Regulations About Defiling Skin Diseases
24 “When someone has a burn on their skin and a reddish-white or white spot appears in the raw flesh of the burn, 25 the priest is to examine the spot, and if the hair in it has turned white, and it appears to be more than skin deep, it is a defiling disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease. 26 But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot and if it is not more than skin deep and has faded, then the priest is to isolate them for seven days. 27 On the seventh day the priest is to examine that person, and if it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease. 28 If, however, the spot is unchanged and has not spread in the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce them clean; it is only a scar from the burn.
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 burn on skin & in the place where the burn was a white or reddish white spot appears in the raw flesh of burn is brought to the priest or one of his sons (the priest). He has to examine the spot 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 them and if spot has faded and not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them clean as it is swelling from the burn . But if it has spread in the skin he shall pronounce them unclean
