Revi’i (Sheiyni when connected to Metzora)

  1. Tzaraas on a burn:
    • If a skin lesion of reddish and whitish color appears on a burn, it is to be shown to the Kohen. If it appears lower than the skin and has white hair, it is Tzaraas that has grown on the burn. He is to be declared impure by the Kohen. If it does not have these signs, the Kohen is to segregate him for seven days. The Kohen is to view him on the seventh day and if the lesion spreads then he is impure. If the lesion does not spread, it is not Tzaraas but rather a skin ailment on the burn and he is pure.

Chamishi

  1. Tzaraas on the head or beard:
    • If a skin lesion appears on the head or beard, it is to be shown to the Kohen. If it appears lower than the skin and has yellow hair it is a Nesek Tzaraas that has grown on the head or beard. He is to be declared impure by the Kohen.
    • No yellow hair: If it does not have these signs but also does not have black hair, the Kohen is to segregate him for seven days. The Kohen is to view him on the seventh day and if the lesion does not appear lower than the skin and has not spread and the hair is not yellow then the surrounding area of the Nesek is to be shaven and he is to be segregated for a further period of seven days. The Kohen is to view him on the seventh day and if the lesion does not spread and it does not appear lower than the skin, the Kohen is to deem him pure. He is to launder his clothing and he is pure. If the lesion spreads after his purity, he is deemed impure even if it does not have a yellow hair. If it grows a black hair he is to be deemed pure.
  1. White spots:
    • If a man or woman has white spots on their skin, it is to be shown to the Kohen and he or she is to be deemed pure.
