Leviticus 13:1-39

¹And the Lord spake with Mosheh and with Aharon, saying:

²A man, in the skin of whose flesh there may be an abscess, or pustule, or brightness, and it be in the skin of his flesh like a stroke of the leprosy, shall be brought unto Aharon the priest, or to one of his sons the priests.

³And the priest shall see the plague in the skin of the flesh, and if the hair in the affected spot be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall inspect him and make (pronounce) him to be unclean.

⁴But if a bright spot be in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance be not deeper than the skin, and the hair be not turned white, the priest shall shut up the stricken (man) seven days.

⁵And on the seventh day the priest shall inspect him, and if the plague stands as it did, if the plague hath not increases in the skin, let the priest shut him up a second seven days.

⁶And the priest shall look upon him on the second seventh day; and, behold, if the plague hath become obscure, and the plague hath not spread in the skin, the priest shall make him to be clean; it is a sore, and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

⁷But if the diseased spot increase again in the skin after having been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be brought a second time to the priest.

⁸And the priest inspecting, and, behold, the soreness hath increased in the skin, the priest shall make him to be unclean; it is the leprosy.

⁹When the plague of leprosy is in a man, let him be brought to the priest.

¹⁰And the priest shall inspect him, and, behold, if the abscess is white in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and the sign of quick flesh be in the abscess,

¹¹It is an old leprosy in the skin of the flesh, and the priest shall make him unclean, but shall not shut him up (to ascertain his uncleanness), for he is unclean.

¹²And if the leprosy increasing shall increase in the skin, and the leprosy cover the whole skin of the plague (struck man) from his head unto his feet, wherever the eyes of the priest may look,

¹³the priest shall observe, and, behold, (if) the leprosy covereth all his flesh, the plagued shall be (considered) clean; the whole of him is turned white, he is clean.

¹⁴But in the day that quick flesh appeareth in him he shall be unclean;

¹⁵And the priest shall observe the quick flesh, and make him to be unclean. The quick flesh is unclean, it is the leprosy.

¹⁶But if the quick flesh turn to be white, he shall come to the priest;

¹⁷And the priest shall observe, and, behold, if the plague is turned white, the priest shall make the plagued to be clean; he is clean.

¹⁸And if a man have in him, in his skin, an ulcer, and it hath healed,

¹⁹but in the place of the ulcer there come a white abscess, or a bright spot, reddish-white, let him show it to the priest,

²⁰And the priest shall inspect, and, behold, if the appearance of it be deeper than the skin, and the hair be turned white, the priest shall make him to be unclean; it is the plague of leprosy increasing in the ulcer.

²¹But if the priest look on it, and, behold, the hair is not white, nor (the depth) lower than the skin, and it hath become obscure, the priest shall seclude him seven days;

²²And if increasing it increaseth in the skin, the priest shall make him to be unclean; it is the plague.

²³But if the spot abideth in its place, and increaseth not, it is a description of an ulcer, and the priest shall make him clean.

²⁴Or, if a man hath in his skin a burning wound, and there be the sign of a glowing wound whitish-red or (altogether) white,

²⁵the priest shall look upon it, and, behold, if the hair be white in the bright spot, and the appearance be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy increasing in the wound, and the priest shall make him unclean; it is the plague of leprosy.

²⁶But if the priest see it, and, behold, the hair is not white in the spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is becoming obscure, the priest shall seclude him seven days.

²⁷And the priest shall look upon him on the seventh day; if, increasing, it increaseth in the skin, the priest shall make him to be unclean; it is the plague of leprosy.

²⁸But if the spot abideth in its place, and doth not increase in the skin, but hath become obscure, it is (only) a burning sore, and the priest shall make him to be clean, for it is the sign of an inflammation.

²⁹And if a man or a woman have a plague on the head, or in the beard,

³⁰the priest shall inspect the plague, and, behold, if the appearance is deeper than the skin, and there is in it a thin reddish hair, the priest shall make him unclean; it is a scar (or scurvy), it is leprosy in the head or the beard.

³¹And if the priest observe the plague of the scurvy, and, behold, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is not black, the priest shall seclude him who hath the plague of the scurvy seven days.

³²And the priest shall inspect the plague on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scurf hath not increased, and there is no reddish hair in it, and the appearance of the scurf be not deeper than the skin,

³³He must shave around the scurfed spot; but the spot itself he must not shave; and the priest shall shut him up (who hath) the scurf a second seven days.

³⁴And the priest shall look upon the scurf on the seventh day, and, behold, if the scurf is not increased in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, the priest shall make him clean; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

³⁵But if the scurf increase in the skin after that he hath been (pronounced) clean,

³⁶The priest shall inspect him, and, behold, if the scurf be increased in the skin, the priest need not seek for the reddish hair; he is unclean.

³⁷But if the scurf abide as it was, and black hair have sprung up in it, the scurf hath healed, he is clean, and the priest shall make him to be clean.

³⁸And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright white spots,

³⁹Then the priest shall look, and, behold, if the spots in the skin of their flesh be dim white, it is a freckle growing in the skin; he is clean.
