24When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white, 25the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
26But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days. 27On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection. 28But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn.
Have you ever had burned yourself badly? My older brother burned his hand and arm with a grease fire 🔥 as a young adult. He was cooking bacon and fell asleep and awoken to a fire. He tried putting it out with water causing it to splatter on his hand and arm. The hospital used a new therapy at that time, a special salve and inserted his hand and arm in a bag. He was lucky and didn’t require skin grafts or scar from the burns.
Grease fires are best put out by smothering with a lid, never use water.
I’ve burned myself welding and by the sun (burned) working outdoors. I’ve found fresh aloe works best by cutting a piece off the plant, skinning and applying over the burn.
I have several burn scars and the pigmentation of my arms have changed because of exposure to welding.
Blessings, David
