Leviticus 13:27-58

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.

⁴⁰And if a man’s hair fall off from his head, he is bald, but he is clean.

⁴¹And if the hair of his head fall off toward his face, he is partly bald, but is clean.

⁴²But if in the baldness or partial baldness there be a whitish-red scar, it is leprosy growing in the baldness or partial baldness.

⁴³Then the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague spot be whitish-red in the baldness or the partial baldness, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,

⁴⁴The man is a leper, he is unclean; and the priest shall verily make him to be unclean; his plague is in his head.

⁴⁵And the leper in whom is the plague, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bared; and, like the mourner, he shall be covered unto his lip, and shall cry: Be not made unclean! Be not made unclean!

⁴⁶All the days that the plague is upon him shall he be unclean; he is unclean; he shall dwell apart, his habitation shall be without the camp.

⁴⁷The garment which hath the plague of leprosy in it, whether it be in a garment of woollen or of linen,

⁴⁸Whether in the warp or in the woof of linen or of woolen, or in leather, or anything made of skin:

⁴⁹If the plague be green or red in the garment or in the skin, whether in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and must be showed to the priest.

⁵⁰And the priest shall look at the plague, and shut it up seven days.

⁵¹And he shall look at the plague on the seventh day; if the plague hath increased in the garment, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in a skin, or anything made of skin for work, it is a plague of consuming leprosy, it is unclean.

⁵²And he shall burn the garment, whether it be in warp or woof, of wool, or of linen, or anything (made) of skin, which hath the plague in it; for it is a consuming leprosy; he shall burn it in fire.

⁵³But if the priest look, and, behold, the plague hath not increased in the garment, whether in warp or woof, or in anything of skin;

⁵⁴Then the priest shall direct, and they shall wash that wherein is the plague, and he shall shut it up a second seven days.

⁵⁵And the priest shall look after that they have washed the plague, and, behold, if (the state of) the plague hath not increased, it is (nevertheless) unclean; thou shalt burn it with fire, it is a fretting leprosy, whether in its smoothness or its roughness (i.e., its right or wrong side).

⁵⁶And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague hath become obscure after they have washed it, he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or of the woof.

⁵⁷And if it reappear in the garment, in warp or woof, or increase in any vessel of skin, thou shalt burn in fire that which hath the plague in it.

⁵⁸And the garment, or warp, or woof, or anything of skin which hath been washed, and the plague hath gone form it, shall be dipped the second time, and shall be clean.
