Leviticus 13:24-52

²⁴Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

²⁵The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

²⁶But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

²⁷And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

²⁸And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

²⁹And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

³⁰Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.

³¹And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:

³²And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin,

³³Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:

³⁴And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

³⁵But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

³⁶Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean.

³⁷But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

³⁸And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

³⁹Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

⁴⁰And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

⁴¹And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean.

⁴²But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.

⁴³Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

⁴⁴He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.

⁴⁵And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean.

⁴⁶While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.

⁴⁷And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;

⁴⁸If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;

⁴⁹If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

⁵⁰And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

⁵¹And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

⁵²And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.
