“But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:”
But if, when the priest examines it, there is no white hair in it and it is not more than skin deep and has faded, then the priest is to isolate them for seven days. The ambiguous case at the healed-boil site — no white hair, not deep, and faded — triggers the seven-day isolation rather than the immediate unclean declaration. The same evaluation framework for ambiguous cases applies here: isolate and observe. The seven-day isolation period is the consistent response to any presentation that does not clearly meet either the clean or the unclean criteria.
