Leviticus 13:35 in Multiple Translations
If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,
But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing,
But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,
However, if the scabby infection has spread on the skin after having been declared clean,
But if the blacke spot growe abroad in the flesh after his clensing,
'And if the scall spread greatly in the skin after his cleansing,
But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
But if the scall shall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
But if after his cleansing the spot spread again in the skin,
But if the sore later spreads,

Context — Laws about Skin Diseases
33then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.
34On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.
35If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,
36the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean. 37If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.Cross References

Leviticus 13:35 Summary
This verse is talking about what happens if a person's skin condition gets worse after they've been cleaned. It's like when we try to get rid of sin in our lives, but it keeps coming back. We need to be careful and make sure we're not letting sin spread in our hearts, because God wants us to be clean and holy, as stated in Leviticus 11:44-45 and 1 Peter 1:15-16. We can seek God's help to overcome sin, just like the person in this verse goes back to the priest for another examination, and we can find cleansing and purification through Him, as promised in Psalm 51:7 and Ezekiel 36:25-26.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the scaly outbreak spreads after a person has been cleansed?
If the scaly outbreak spreads after a person has been cleansed, as seen in Leviticus 13:35, the priest is to examine him again, and if the outbreak has spread, the person is considered unclean, as stated in Leviticus 13:36.
How does this relate to spiritual cleansing?
This verse can be seen as a physical illustration of the spiritual principle that if we allow sin to spread in our lives after we have been cleansed by God, we can become unclean again, as warned in 2 Peter 2:20-21, but God's desire is for us to be clean and holy, as stated in Leviticus 11:44-45 and 1 Peter 1:15-16.
What is the significance of the scaly outbreak in this context?
The scaly outbreak in Leviticus 13:35 represents a physical affliction that can be seen as a symbol of sin's effect on our lives, and the need for cleansing and purification, as seen in Psalm 51:7 and Ezekiel 36:25-26.
How does the priest's examination relate to our relationship with God?
The priest's examination in Leviticus 13:35 can be seen as a representation of God's examination of our hearts, as stated in Psalm 139:23-24 and Jeremiah 17:10, and our need to be honest and transparent before Him, as encouraged in 1 John 1:9.
