 1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying, 2 When a man has a rising in the skin of his flesh, or a scab or bright spot, and it is in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests. 3 The priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh. And if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the plague in sight is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy. And the priest shall look on him and shall pronounce him unclean. 4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight is not deeper than the skin, and the hair of it has not turned white, then the priest shall shut up the plague seven days. 5 The priest shall look on him the seventh day. And behold, if the plague in his sight is stayed. The plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more. 6 The priest shall look on him again in the seventh day. And, behold, if the plague is somewhat dark. The plague has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. And he shall wash his clothes and be clean. 7 But if the scab spreads greatly in the skin after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again. 8 And if the priest sees that, behold, the scab spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprosy. 9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest. 10 The priest shall look. And, behold, if the rising is white in the skin, and it has turned the hair white and there is live raw flesh in the rising, 11 it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh. And the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up, for he is unclean. 12 If a leprosy breaks out greatly on the skin and covers all the skin of the one who has the plague from his head even to his foot, to all that appears to the eyes of the priest, 13 then the priest shall look. And behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce the plagued one clean. It has all turned white. He is clean. 14 But when raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. 15 The priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean. The raw flesh is unclean. It is a leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh turns again and is changed to white, he shall come to the priest. 17 The priest shall look on him. And, behold, the plague has turned to white, then the priest shall pronounce the plagued one clean. He is clean. 18 When the flesh has a boil in its skin and it has healed, 19 and in the place of the boil there is a white rising or a bright spot, a reddish white, it must be shown to the priest; 20 and if the priest sees it, and behold, it is in sight lower than the skin, and the hair of it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague of leprosy broken out in a boil. 21 But if the priest looks on it, and, behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it is not lower than the skin, but has become dark, then the priest shall shut him up seven days. 22 If it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague. 23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, not spreading, it is a burning boil. And the priest shall pronounce him clean. 24 Or if there is flesh in which the skin has a hot burning, and the raw flesh of the burning becomes a white bright spot, reddish or white, 25 then the priest shall look on it. And behold, the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and it is in sight deeper than the skin, it is leprosy broken out of the burning. Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 26 But if the priest looks on it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no lower than the other skin, but is somewhat dark, then the priest shall shut him up seven days. 27 The priest shall look on him the seventh day. If it spreads farther in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and does not spread in the skin, but is somewhat faded, it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. For it is a scar of the burning. 29 If a man or woman has in them a plague on the head or the beard, 30 then the priest shall view the plague and if it is deeper than the skin and has yellow thin hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a dry scab and leprosy is on the head or beard. 31 If the priest views the plague of the scab and it is not deeper than the skin and no black hair is in it, then the priest shall shut up the plagued one with the scab seven days. 32 On the seventh day, the priest shall view the plague and if the scab does not spread and no yellow hair is in it and the scab is not deeper than the skin, 33 then he shall be shaven but shall not shave the scab and the priest shall shut up the one who has the scab seven days more. 34 On the seventh day, the priest shall view the scab and if it has not spread in the skin nor is deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. Then he must wash his clothes and be clean. 35 But if the scab spreads much on the skin after his cleansing, 36 then the priest shall view him to see if the scab is spread on the skin. Then the priest shall not look for shining yellow hair. He is unclean. 37 But if in his view the scab is stabilized and black hair is growing, the scab is healed. He is clean and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 38 If a man or woman has bright spots on the skin of their flesh, white bright spots, 39 then the priest shall look and if pale white bright spots are on the skin of their flesh, a pale spot springing up in the skin. He is clean. 40 When a man's head grows bald. He is bald. He is clean. 41 If his head grows bald from the edge of his face, he is forehead bald. He is clean. 42 If there is in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore, it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head or his bald forehead. 43 The priest shall look on it. And behold, if the rising of the sore is reddish white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appears in the skin of the flesh, 44 he is a man with leprosy. He is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean. His plague is in his head. 45 As for the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be torn, and his head shall be bare, and he shall put a covering on his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean. Unclean. 46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be defiled. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp. 47 If there is any garment that has the plague of leprosy in it, in a wool garment or a linen garment, 48 or in the warp or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin or in anything of skin, 49 and if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a plague of leprosy. It shall be shown to the priest. 50 The priest shall look on the plague, and shut up what has the plague seven days. 51 He shall look on the plague on the seventh day. If the plague is spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any skin or in any work that is made of skin, the plague is a fretting leprosy. It is unclean. 52 He shall burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin in which the plague is. For it is a fretting leprosy. It shall be burned in the fire. 53 If the priest shall look, and behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, either in the warp or the woof, or anything of skin, 54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is. And he shall shut it up seven days more. 55 The priest shall look on the plague after it is washed, and behold, if the plague has not changed its color and the plague has not spread. It is unclean. You shall burn it in the fire. It is eaten away in its inside or in its outside. 56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague is somewhat dark after the washing of it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof. 57 If it appears still in the garment, or in the warp or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a spreading plague. You shall burn what is in it is the plague is with fire. 58 The garment that you wash, either warp or woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, if the plague has departed from them, then it must be washed a second time and then it will be clean. 59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp or woof or anything of skins, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.
