Leviticus 13:24-52

²⁴Fleisch and skyn, which the fier hath brent, and is heelid, and hath a whijt ethir reed `signe of wounde,

²⁵the preest schal biholde it, and lo! if it is turned in to whijtnesse, and the place therof is lowere than the tothir skyn, the preest schal defoule the man, for a wounde of lepre is bred in the `signe of wounde.

²⁶That if the colour of heeris is not chaungid, nether the wounde is lowere than the tother fleisch, and thilke spice of lepre is sumdeel derk, the preest schal close the man bi seuene daies;

²⁷and in the seuenthe dai he schal biholde; if the lepre wexith in the fleisch, the preest schal defoule the man;

²⁸ellis if the whijtnesse stondith in his place, and is not cleer ynow, it is a wounde of brennyng, and therfor the man schal be clensid, for it is a signe of brennyng.

²⁹A man ethir womman, in whos heed ether beerd lepre buriounneth, the preest schal se hem;

³⁰and if the place is lowere than the tothir fleisch, and the heer is whijt, `and is sotilere, `ether smallere, than it is wont, the preest schal defoule hem, for it is lepre of the heed, and of the beerd.

³¹Ellis if he seeth the place of wem euene with the nyy fleisch, and seeth the here blak, the preest schal close hem bi seuene daies, and schal se in the seuenthe dai;

³²if the wem waxith not, and the heer is of his colour, and the place of wounde is euene with the tother fleisch,

³³the man schal be schauun, without the place of wem, and he schal be closid eft bi seuene othere daies.

³⁴If in the seuenthe day the wounde is seyn to haue stonde in his place, nether is lowere than the tother fleisch, the preest schal clense the man; and whanne his clothis ben waischun, he schal be cleene.

³⁵Ellis if aftir the clensyng a spotte wexith eft in the skyn,

³⁶the preest schal no more enquere, whether the heer is chaungid in to whijt colour, for apeertli he is vncleene.

³⁷Sotheli if the spotte stondith, and the heeris ben blake, knowe the preest that the man is heelid, and tristili `pronounce he the man cleene.

³⁸A man ethir a womman, in whos skyn whijtnesse apperith, the preest schal biholde hem;

³⁹if he perseyueth, that whijtnesse `sum deel derk schyneth in the skyn, wite he, that it is no lepre, but a spotte of whijt colour, and that the man is cleene.

⁴⁰A man of whos heed heeris fleten awei, is calu, and clene;

⁴¹and if heeris fallen fro the forheed, he is ballid,

⁴²and is cleene; ellis if in the ballidnesse bifore, ether in the ballidnesse bihynde, whijt ether reed colour is bred, and the preest seeth this,

⁴³he schal condempne the man without doute of lepre, which is bred in the ballidnesse.

⁴⁴Therfor whoeuer is defoulid with lepre, and is departid at the doom of the preest,

⁴⁵he schal haue hise clothis vnsewid, bareheed, the mouth hilid with a cloth, he schal crye hym silf defoulid, and viyl;

⁴⁶in al tyme in which he is lepre and vnclene, he schal dwelle aloone without the castels.

⁴⁷A wollun cloth, ethir lynnun, that hath lepre in the warp,

⁴⁸ethir oof, ethir certis a skyn, ether what euer thing is maad of skiyn,

⁴⁹if it is corrupt with a whijt spotte, ethir reed, it schal be arettid lepre, and it schal be schewid to the preest;

⁵⁰which schal close it biholden bi seuene daies.

⁵¹And eft he schal biholde in the seuenthe dai, and if he perseyueth, that it wexide, it schal be contynuel lepre; he schal deme the cloth defoulid, and al thing in which it is foundun;

⁵²and therfor the cloth schal be brent in flawmes.
