Leviticus 13:34

"then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more days."

Key Reflection

This passage highlights the separation and purification required for those affected by skin diseases. The shaving symbolizes a complete cleansing, yet leaving the "itch" unshaven emphasizes that true healing is through divine intervention, prompting further isolation to ensure no contagion remains.
