Leviticus 13:18-36

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.
