or be solicitous about that, whether there is any or not, for either one or the other of these signs were sufficient to determine the case: he [is] unclean;
and so to be pronounced.

35 But if the sore does spread in the skin after they are pronounced clean,

38 “When a man or woman has white spots on the skin,
