If it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling disease. Spreading during the isolation period confirms the defiling disease: the condition that grows is the condition that defiles. The spreading criterion that appears throughout the skin disease regulations — the condition that spreads is defiling; the condition that stabilizes or resolves is not — is the most consistent and decisive diagnostic marker in the entire Levitical skin disease framework.
