and, behold, [if] the plague be turned into white; the raw flesh in the swelling, which looked red, is become white:
then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague; that was supposed to have the plague of leprosy; but upon a review, and on this change of things, has not, he shall declare him free from it,
he [is] clean; and under no obligation to the laws and rites concerning it.
