Root and etymology
Rootkaf-het-nun
“to serve as priest”
In context — Leviticus 13:30
And the priest will look at the sore, and behold, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and in it is thin yellow hair. The priest will pronounce the person unclean; it is a patch ; it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
