וכי יראה הכהן את נגע הנתק והנה אין מראהו עמק מן העור ושער שחר אין בו והסגיר הכהן את נגע הנתק שבעת ימים
וְכִֽי־יִרְאֶ֨ה הַכֹּהֵ֜ן אֶת־נֶ֣גַע הַנֶּ֗תֶק וְהִנֵּ֤ה אֵין־מַרְאֵ֙הוּ֙ עָמֹ֣ק מִן־הָעֹ֔ור וְשֵׂעָ֥ר שָׁחֹ֖ר אֵ֣ין בֹּ֑ו וְהִסְגִּ֧יר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־נֶ֥גַע הַנֶּ֖תֶק שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים ׃
וְכִֽי־יִרְאֶה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־נֶגַע הַנֶּתֶק וְהִנֵּה אֵין־מַרְאֵהוּ עָמֹק מִן־הָעוֹר וְשֵׂעָר שָׁחֹר אֵין בּוֹ וְהִסְגִּיר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־נֶגַע הַנֶּתֶק שִׁבְעַת יָמִֽים ׃

seven days: Leviticus 13:4-6
Reciprocal: Leviticus 14:54 - scall
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if the priest look on the plague of the scall,.... As it may appear in another person, brought to him for inspection and examination:
and, behold, it [be] not in the sight deeper than the skin; it do not seem to be got into the flesh, or lower than the skin:
and [that there is] no black hair in it; or, "but no black hair in it"; for, as Jarchi says, if there was a black hair in it, he would be clean, and there would be no need of shutting up; for black hair in scalls is a sign of cleanness, as it is said, Leviticus 13:37; it would be a clear case that such a man had no leprosy on him; for black hair is a token of a strong and healthful constitution; and there could remain no doubt about it, and it would require no further trial and examination: Ben Gersom says it means two black hairs; and further observes, that black hair in the midst of a scall is a sign of cleanness; but this being wanting,
then the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the plague of the scall seven days; from the time of his viewing the scall; and so Ben Gersom, this is the seventh day from the time of looking upon the scall.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
There is no black hair in it More probably, there is no yellow hair in it.
