Leviticus 13:5

If the plague (i.e. the rising described in Leviticus 13:2) has not spread (the Heb. verb occurs only in chs. 13, 14), he is to be shut up another seven days, and if the spot then appears dull (the Heb. word in this sense is confined to the two chs.; it is applied to the eye becoming dim through age, 1 Samuel 3:2), and there is no sign of its spreading, the priest shall pronounce him clean.
