Verse 38
"And when a man or woman hath in the skin of the flesh bright spots, even white bright spots; then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of a dull white, it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin; he is clean."
Keil described the "tetter" mentioned here thus: The harmless [~bohaq] did not defile. The Arabs still call it "bahak" and consider it to be harmless. It is an eruption on the skin in somewhat elevated spots or rings of unequal size, pale white in color, and which do not change the hair. It causes no inconvenience and lasts from about two months to two years.[6]
