“But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.”
If, however, the sore is unchanged so far as the priest can see, and if black hair has grown in it, the sore has healed and they are clean. The priest shall pronounce them clean. The regrowth of black hair is the sign of healing in the scalp and chin context: the return of healthy, dark hair to the affected area is the clearest indicator that the condition has resolved. The black hair that was absent during the examination period's ambiguous phase returns to confirm that the skin has healed beneath the sore. The natural sign of healing — healthy hair regrowth — is the basis for the clean declaration.
