Leviticus 13:18-35

¹⁸The flesh and the skin, in which a botch is bred, and is healed,

¹⁹and the place of the botch, or a fell sore, appeareth white, either red, the man shall be brought to the priest;

²⁰and when the priest seeth the place of the leprosy lower than the other flesh, and the hairs turned into whiteness, the priest shall defoul him, that is, deem him foul; for the wound or the plague of leprosy is bred or sprung in the botch.

²¹That if the hair is of the former colour, and the sign of the wound is some-deal dark, and is not lower than the flesh beside, the priest shall enclose the man seven days;

²²and soothly, if his sore waxeth, the priest shall deem the man to be a leper;

²³forsooth if it standeth in his place, it is a sign of a botch, and the man shall be clean.

²⁴Flesh, and skin, which the fire hath burnt, and is healed, and hath a white, either red, sign of wound, the priest shall behold it,

²⁵and lo! if it is turned into white-ness, and the place thereof is lower than the tother skin, the priest shall defoul the man, for a wound or the plague of leprosy is bred or sprung in the sign of wound.

²⁶That if the colour of the hairs is not changed, neither the wound, or soreness, is lower than the tother flesh, and that species of leprosy is some-deal dark, the priest shall enclose the man seven days;

²⁷and in the seventh day he shall behold him; if the leprosy waxeth in the flesh, the priest shall defoul the man;

²⁸else if the whiteness standeth in his place, and is not clear enough, it is a wound, or soreness, of burning, and therefore the man shall be cleansed, for it is a sign of burning.

²⁹A man or a woman, in whose head or beard leprosy burgeoneth,

³⁰the priest shall see them; and if the place is lower than the tother flesh, and the hair is white, and is subtler, either smaller, than it is wont, the priest shall defoul them, for it is leprosy of the head, and of the beard.

³¹Else if he seeth the place of the wem, or the sore, even with the nigh flesh, and the hair black, the priest shall enclose them seven days,

³²and he shall see them in the seventh day; if the wem waxeth not, and the hair is of his colour, and the place of wound is even with the tother flesh,

³³the man shall be shaven, without the place of the wem, and he shall be enclosed again by seven other days.

³⁴If in the seventh day the wound, or soreness, is seen to have stand in his place, neither is lower than the tother flesh, the priest shall cleanse the man; and when his clothes be washed, he shall be clean.

³⁵Else if after the cleansing, a spot waxeth again in the skin,
