Joe: Alright, so we're talking about Leviticus 13. What can you tell us about it?

Bible Expert: Leviticus 13 is all about how to identify skin diseases and other types of infections. It outlines how to diagnose them and what to do if one is found.

Joe: Wait, wait, wait, skin diseases? What kind of skin diseases?

Jamie: Hey Joe, I Googled it and it looks like it includes sores, scabs, molds, and other signs of infection.

Bible Expert: That's right, Jamie. In Leviticus, it's important to identify these types of infections so that people can be kept away from them.

Joe: Wow, so how do we go about diagnosing these infections?

Bible Expert: The priest is the one who is responsible for diagnosing skin diseases. He must look at the infected area and determine whether it is clean or unclean. If it is unclean, he must order the person to be quarantined for seven days. If the infection is still present after seven days, the person must be quarantined for another seven days.

Joe: Okay, so what happens after that?

Bible Expert: After two weeks, the priest must check the person again. If the infection has healed, the person is allowed to return to the community. If the infection is still present, the person is considered unclean and must be banished from the community.
