“And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;”
The priest is to examine them, and if there is a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white and if there is raw flesh in the swelling. The diagnostic signs for the confirmed defiling skin disease at full development: white swelling, white hair within the swelling, and raw flesh exposed within the swelling. The three signs together indicate an advanced and active skin condition. The raw flesh within the swelling is the sign of a disease that has penetrated below the surface skin — an active, spreading condition rather than a surface discoloration.
