Leviticus 13:8

And [if] the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a leprosy.

And if the priest {H3548} see {H7200} that, behold, the scab {H4556} spreadeth {H6581} in the skin {H5785}, then the priest {H3548} shall pronounce him unclean {H2930}: it is a leprosy {H6883}.

The cohen will examine him, and if he sees that the scab has spread on his skin, then the cohen will declare him unclean; it is tzara'at.

The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.

and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.
