Levítico 13
Douay-Rheims Challoner (1752)
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2The man in whose skin or flesh shall arise a different colour or a blister, or as it were something shining, that is the stroke of the leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or any or of his sons.
3And if he see the leprosy in his skin, and the hair turned white and the place where the leprosy appears lower than the skin and the rest of the flesh: it is the stroke of the leprosy, and upon his judgment he shall be separated.
4But if there be a shining whiteness in the skin, and not lower than the other flesh, and the hair be of the former colour, the priest shall shut him up seven days.
5And the seventh day he shall look on him: and if the leprosy be grown no farther, and hath not spread itself in the skin, he shall shut him up again other seven days.
6And on the seventh day, he shall look on him. If the leprosy be somewhat obscure, and not spread in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is but a scab: and the man shall wash his clothes, and shall be clean.
7But, if the leprosy grow again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him:
8And shall be condemned of uncleanness.
9If the stroke of the leprosy be in a man, he shall be brought to the priest:
10And he shall view him. And when there shall be a white colour in the skin, and it shall have changed the look of the hair, and the living flesh itself shall appear:
11It shall be judged an inveterate leprosy, and grown into the skin. The priest therefore shall declare him unclean: and shall not shut him up, because he is evidently unclean.
12But if the leprosy spring out running about in the skin, and cover all the skin from the head to the feet, whatsoever falleth under the sight of the eyes:
13The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean.
14But when the live flesh shall appear in him:
15Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean. For live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean.
16And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man:
17The priest shall view him, and shall judge him to be clean.
18When also there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has been healed:
19And in the place of the ulcer, there appeareth a white scar, or somewhat red, the man shall be brought to the priest.
20And when he shall see the place of the leprosy lower than the other flesh, and the hair turned white: he shall declare him unclean, for the plague of leprosy is broken out in the ulcer.
21But if the hair be of the former colour, and the scar somewhat obscure, and be not lower than the flesh that is near it: he shall shut him up seven days.
22And if it spread, he shall judge him to have the leprosy:
23But if it stay in its place, it is but the scar of an ulcer: and the man shall be clean.
24The flesh also and skin that hath been burnt, and after it is healed hath a white or a red scar:
25The priest shall view it, and if he see it turned white, and the place thereof is lower than the other skin: he shall declare him unclean, because the evil of leprosy is broken out in the scar.
26But if the colour of the hair be not changed, nor the blemish lower than the other flesh, and the appearance of the leprosy be somewhat obscure: he shall shut him up seven days,
27And on the seventh day he shall view him. If the leprosy be grown farther in the skin, he shall declare him unclean.
28But if the whiteness stay in its place, and be not very clear, it is the sore of a burning: and therefore he shall be cleansed, because it is only the scar of a burning.
29If the leprosy break out in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall see them,
30And if the place be lower than the other flesh, and the hair yellow, and thinner than usual: he shall declare them unclean, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard;
31But if he perceive the place of the spot is equal with the flesh that is near it, and the hair black: he shall shut him up seven days,
32And on the seventh day he shall look upon it. If the spot be not grown, and the hair keep its colour, and the place of the blemish be even with the other flesh:
33The man shall be shaven all but the place of the spot: and he shall be shut up other seven days.
34If on the seventh day the evil seem to have stayed in its place, and not lower than the other flesh, he shall cleanse him: and his clothes being washed he shall be clean.
35But if after his cleansing the spot spread again in the skin:
36He shall seek no more whether the hair be turned yellow, because he is evidently unclean.
37But if the spot be stayed, and the hair be black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.
38If a whiteness appear in the skin of a man or a woman,
39The priest shall view them. If he find that a darkish whiteness shineth in the skin, let him know that it is not the leprosy, but a white blemish, and that the man is clean.
40The man whose hair falleth off from his head, he is bald and clean:
41And if the hair fall from his forehead, he is bald before and clean.
42But if in the bald head or in the bald forehead there be risen a white or reddish colour:
43And the priest perceive this, he shall condemn him undoubtedly of leprosy which is risen in the bald part.
44Now whosoever shall be defiled with the leprosy, and is separated by the judgment of the priest:
45Shall have his clothes hanging loose, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth: and he shall cry out that he is defiled and unclean.
46All the time that he is a leper and unclean he shall dwell alone without the camp.
47A woollen or linen garment that shall have the leprosy
48In the warp, and the woof: or skin, or whatsoever is made of a skin:
49If it be infected with a white or red spot, it shall be accounted the leprosy, and shall be shewn to the priest.
50And he shall look upon it and shall shut it up seven days.
51And on the seventh day when he looketh on it again, if he find that it is grown, it is a fixed leprosy. He shall judge the garment unclean, and every thing wherein it shall be found.
52And therefore it shall be burnt with fire.
53But if he see that it is not grown,
54He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the leprosy is: and he shall shut it up other seven days.
55And when he shall see that the former colour is not returned, nor yet the leprosy spread, he shall judge it unclean: and shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has taken hold of the outside of the garment, or through the whole.
56But if the place of the leprosy be somewhat dark, after the garment is washed, he shall tear it off, and divide it from that which is sound.
57And if after this there appear in those places that before were without spot, a flying and wandering leprosy: it must be burnt with fire.
58If it cease, he shall wash with water the parts that are pure, the second time: and they shall be clean.
59This is the law touching the leprosy of any woollen or linen garment, either in the warp or woof, or any thing of skins: how it ought to be cleaned, or pronounced unclean.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés y á Aarón, diciendo:
2Cuando el hombre tuviere en la piel de su carne hinchazón, ó postilla, ó mancha blanca, y hubiere en la piel de su carne como llaga de lepra, será traído á Aarón el sacerdote, ó á uno de los sacerdotes sus hijos:
3Y el sacerdote mirará la llaga en la piel de la carne: si el pelo en la llaga se ha vuelto blanco, y pareciere la llaga más hundida que la tez de la carne, llaga de lepra es; y el sacerdote le reconocerá, y le dará por inmundo.
4Y si en la piel de su carne hubiere mancha blanca, pero no pareciere más hundida que la tez, ni su pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco, entonces el sacerdote encerrará al llagado por siete días;
5Y al séptimo día el sacerdote lo mirará; y si la llaga á su parecer se hubiere estancado, no habiéndose extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote le volverá á encerrar por otros siete días.
6Y al séptimo día el sacerdote le reconocerá de nuevo; y si parece haberse oscurecido la llaga, y que no ha cundido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo dará por limpio: era postilla; y lavará sus vestidos, y será limpio.
7Mas si hubiere ido creciendo la postilla en la piel, después que fué mostrado al sacerdote para ser limpio, será visto otra vez del sacerdote:
8Y si reconociéndolo el sacerdote, ve que la postilla ha crecido en la piel, el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo: es lepra.
9Cuando hubiere llaga de lepra en el hombre, será traído al sacerdote;
10Y el sacerdote mirará, y si pareciere tumor blanco en la piel, el cual haya mudado el color del pelo, y se descubre asimismo la carne viva,
11Lepra es envejecida en la piel de su carne; y le dará por inmundo el sacerdote, y no le encerrará, porque es inmundo.
12Mas si brotare la lepra cundiendo por el cutis, y ella cubriere toda la piel del llagado desde su cabeza hasta sus pies, á toda vista de ojos del sacerdote;
13Entonces el sacerdote le reconocerá; y si la lepra hubiere cubierto toda su carne, dará por limpio al llagado: hase vuelto toda ella blanca; y él es limpio.
14Mas el día que apareciere en él la carne viva, será inmundo.
15Y el sacerdote mirará la carne viva, y lo dará por inmundo. Es inmunda la carne viva: es lepra.
16Mas cuando la carne viva se mudare y volviere blanca, entonces vendrá al sacerdote;
17Y el sacerdote mirará, y si la llaga se hubiere vuelto blanca, el sacerdote dará por limpio al que tenía la llaga, y será limpio.
18Y cuando en la carne, en su piel, hubiere apostema, y se sanare,
19Y sucediere en el lugar de la apostema tumor blanco, ó mancha blanca embermejecida, será mostrado al sacerdote:
20Y el sacerdote mirará; y si pareciere estar más baja que su piel, y su pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco, darálo el sacerdote por inmundo: es llaga de lepra que se originó en la apostema.
21Y si el sacerdote la considerare, y no pareciere en ella pelo blanco, ni estuviere más baja que la piel, sino oscura, entonces el sacerdote lo encerrará por siete días:
22Y si se fuere extendiendo por la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo: es llaga.
23Empero si la mancha blanca se estuviere en su lugar, que no haya cundido, es la costra de la apostema; y el sacerdote lo dará por limpio.
24Asimismo cuando la carne tuviere en su piel quemadura de fuego, y hubiere en lo sanado del fuego mancha blanquecina, bermejiza ó blanca,
25El sacerdote la mirará; y si el pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco en la mancha, y pareciere estar más hundida que la piel, es lepra que salió en la quemadura; y el sacerdote declarará al sujeto inmundo, por ser llaga de lepra.
26Mas si el sacerdote la mirare, y no pareciere en la mancha pelo blanco, ni estuviere más baja que la tez, sino que está oscura, le encerrará el sacerdote por siete días;
27Y al séptimo día el sacerdote la reconocerá: si se hubiere ido extendiendo por la piel, el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo: es llaga de lepra.
28Empero si la mancha se estuviere en su lugar, y no se hubiere extendido en la piel, sino que está oscura, hinchazón es de la quemadura: darálo el sacerdote por limpio; que señal de la quemadura es.
29Y al hombre ó mujer que le saliere llaga en la cabeza, ó en la barba,
30El sacerdote mirará la llaga; y si pareciere estar más profunda que la tez, y el pelo en ella fuera rubio y adelgazado, entonces el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo: es tiña, es lepra de la cabeza ó de la barba.
31Mas cuando el sacerdote hubiere mirado la llaga de la tiña, y no pareciere estar más profunda que la tez, ni fuere en ella pelo negro, el sacerdote encerrará al llagado de la tiña por siete días:
32Y al séptimo día el sacerdote mirará la llaga: y si la tiña no pareciere haberse extendido, ni hubiere en ella pelo rubio, ni pareciere la tiña más profunda que la tez,
33Entonces lo trasquilarán, mas no trasquilarán el lugar de la tiña: y encerrará el sacerdote al que tiene la tiña por otros siete días.
34Y al séptimo día mirará el sacerdote la tiña; y si la tiña no hubiere cundido en la piel, ni pareciere estar más profunda que la tez, el sacerdote lo dará por limpio; y lavará sus vestidos, y será limpio.
35Empero si la tiña se hubiere ido extendiendo en la piel después de su purificación,
36Entonces el sacerdote la mirará; y si la tiña hubiere cundido en la piel, no busque el sacerdote el pelo rubio, es inmundo.
37Mas si le pareciere que la tiña está detenida, y que ha salido en ella el pelo negro, la tiña está sanada; él está limpio, y por limpio lo dará el sacerdote.
38Asimismo el hombre ó mujer, cuando en la piel de su carne tuviere manchas, manchas blancas,
39El sacerdote mirará: y si en la piel de su carne parecieren manchas blancas algo oscurecidas, es empeine que brotó en la piel, está limpia la persona.
40Y el hombre, cuando se le pelare la cabeza, es calvo, mas limpio.
41Y si á la parte de su rostro se le pelare la cabeza, es calvo por delante, pero limpio.
42Mas cuando en la calva ó en la antecalva hubiere llaga blanca rojiza, lepra es que brota en su calva ó en su antecalva.
43Entonces el sacerdote lo mirará, y si pareciere la hinchazón de la llaga blanca rojiza en su calva ó en su antecalva, como el parecer de la lepra de la tez de la carne,
44Leproso es, es inmundo; el sacerdote lo dará luego por inmundo; en su cabeza tiene su llaga.
45Y el leproso en quien hubiere llaga, sus vestidos serán deshechos y su cabeza descubierta, y embozado pregonará: ¡Inmundo! ¡inmundo!
46Todo el tiempo que la llaga estuviere en él, será inmundo; estará impuro: habitará solo; fuera del real será su morada.
47Y cuando en el vestido hubiere plaga de lepra, en vestido de lana, ó en vestido de lino;
48O en estambre ó en trama, de lino ó de lana, ó en piel, ó en cualquiera obra de piel;
49Y que la plaga sea verde, ó bermeja, en vestido ó en piel, ó en estambre ó en trama, ó en cualquiera obra de piel; plaga es de lepra, y se ha de mostrar al sacerdote.
50Y el sacerdote mirará la plaga, y encerrará la cosa plagada por siete días.
51Y al séptimo día mirará la plaga: y si hubiere cundido la plaga en el vestido, ó estambre, ó en la trama, ó en piel, ó en cualquiera obra que se hace de pieles, lepra roedora es la plaga; inmunda será.
52Será quemado el vestido, ó estambre ó trama, de lana ó de lino, ó cualquiera obra de pieles en que hubiere tal plaga; porque lepra roedora es: al fuego será quemada.
53Y si el sacerdote mirare, y no pareciere que la plaga se haya extendido en el vestido, ó estambre, ó en la trama, ó en cualquiera obra de pieles;
54Entonces el sacerdote mandará que laven donde está la plaga, y lo encerrará otra vez por siete días.
55Y el sacerdote mirará después que la plaga fuere lavada; y si pareciere que la plaga no ha mudado su aspecto, bien que no haya cundido la plaga, inmunda es; la quemarás al fuego; corrosión es penetrante, esté lo raído en la haz ó en el revés de aquella cosa.
56Mas si el sacerdote la viere, y pareciere que la plaga se ha oscurecido después que fué lavada, la cortará del vestido, ó de la piel, ó del estambre, ó de la trama.
57Y si apareciere más en el vestido, ó estambre, ó trama, ó en cualquiera cosa de pieles, reverdeciendo en ella, quemarás al fuego aquello donde estuviere la plaga.
58Empero el vestido, ó estambre, ó trama, ó cualquiera cosa de piel que lavares, y que se le quitare la plaga, lavarse ha segunda vez, y entonces será limpia.
59Esta es la ley de la plaga de la lepra del vestido de lana ó de lino, ó del estambre, ó de la trama, ó de cualquiera cosa de piel, para que sea dada por limpia ó por inmunda.
King James Version
1And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
2When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
3And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
4If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
5And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
6And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
7But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
8And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
9When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
10And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
11It 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.
12And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
13Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
14But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
15And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
16Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
17And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
18The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
19And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
20And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
21But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
22And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
23But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
25Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
26But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
27And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
28And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.
29If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
30Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
31And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
32And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;
33He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
34And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
35But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
36Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
37But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
39Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
40And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
41And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
42And if there be 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.
43Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
44He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
45And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
46All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
47The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
48Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
49And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
50And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:
51And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
52He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
53And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
54Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
55And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.
56And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
57And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
58And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
59This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
World English Bible
1The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2“When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.
3The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.
4If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
5The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.
6The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
7But if the scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
8The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
9“When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
10and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.
12“If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,
13then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
14But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
15The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
16Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.
17The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
18“When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
19and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.
20The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.
21But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
22If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
23But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24“Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,
25then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
26But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
27The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
28If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
29“When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,
30then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
31If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.
32On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,
33then 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.
34On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
35But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
36then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
37But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
38“When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,
39then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.
40“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
41If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, his forehead is bald. He is clean.
42But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.
43Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,
44he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
45“The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
46All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.
47“The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
48whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in leather, or in anything made of leather;
49if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.
50The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.
51He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.
52He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
53“If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
54then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more days.
55Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.
56If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
57and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn what the plague is in with fire.
58The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”
59This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
