Where it appears

Appears 5 times in the Bible.

• Leviticus 13:24 “If anyone has suffered a burn on the skin and the burned area changes color, becoming either reddish white or shiny white,
• Leviticus 13:25 the priest must examine it. If he finds that the hair in the affected area has turned white and the problem appears to be more than skin-deep, a skin disease has broken out in the burn. The priest must then pronounce the person ceremonially unclean, for it is clearly a serious skin disease.
• Leviticus 13:28 But if the affected area has not changed or spread on the skin and has faded, it is simply a swelling from the burn. The priest will then pronounce the person ceremonially clean, for it is only the scar from the burn.
