8As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed. 9And when they were come near to Rages, 10

Contemporary English Version
And if someone has white spots covering their eyes and cannot see, you can rub the gall bladder on their eyes and blow on the white spots, and that person will be able to see again."

New American Bible
As for the gall, if you apply it to the eyes of one who has white scales, blowing right into them, sight will be restored.”
