Leviticus 13:27-58

²⁷and the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, if it spread greatly in the skin, then the priest hath pronounced him unclean; a plague of leprosy it is.

²⁸'And if the bright spot stay in its place, it hath not spread in the skin, and is become weak; a rising of the burning it is, and the priest hath pronounced him clean; for it is inflammation of the burning.

²⁹'And when a man (or a woman) hath in him a plague in the head or in the beard,

³⁰then hath the priest seen the plague, and lo, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and in it a thin shining hair, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is a scall — it is a leprosy of the head or of the beard.

³¹'And when the priest seeth the plague of the scall, and lo, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then hath the priest shut up him who hath the plague of the scall seven days.

³²'And the priest hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and lo, the scall hath not spread, and a shining hair hath not been in it, and the appearance of the scall is not deeper than the skin,

³³then he hath shaved himself, but the scall he doth not shave; and the priest hath shut up him who hath the scall a second seven days.

³⁴And the priest hath seen the scall on the seventh day, and lo, the scall hath not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him clean, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been clean.

³⁵'And if the scall spread greatly in the skin after his cleansing,

³⁶and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest seeketh not for the shining hair, he is unclean;

³⁷and if in his eyes the scall hath stayed, and black hair hath sprung up in it, the scall hath been healed — he is clean — and the priest hath pronounced him clean.

³⁸'And when a man or woman hath in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots,

³⁹and the priest hath seen, and lo, in the skin of their flesh white weak bright spots, it is a freckled spot broken out in the skin; he is clean.

⁴⁰'And when a man's head is polished, he is bald, he is clean;

⁴¹and if from the corner of his face his head is polished, he is bald of the forehead; he is clean.

⁴²'And when there is in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, a very red white plague, it is a leprosy breaking out in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead;

⁴³and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the rising of the very red white plague in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, is as the appearance of leprosy, in the skin of the flesh,

⁴⁴he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest doth pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

⁴⁵'As to the leper in whom is the plague, his garments are rent, and his head is uncovered, and he covereth over the upper lip, and 'Unclean! unclean!' he calleth;

⁴⁶all the days that the plague is in him he is unclean; he is unclean, alone he doth dwell, at the outside of the camp is his dwelling.

⁴⁷'And when there is in any garment a plague of leprosy, — in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen,

⁴⁸or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in any work of skin,

⁴⁹and the plague hath been very green or very red in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and it hath been shewn the priest.

⁵⁰'And the priest hath seen the plague, and hath shut up that which hath the plague, seven days;

⁵¹and he hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and the plague hath spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, of all that is made of skin for work; the plague is a fretting leprosy, it is unclean.

⁵²'And he hath burnt the garment, or the warp, or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any vessel of skin in which the plague is; for it is a fretting leprosy; with fire it is burnt.

⁵³'And if the priest see, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin,

⁵⁴then hath the priest commanded, and they have washed that in which the plague is, and he hath shut it up a second seven days.

⁵⁵And the priest hath seen that which hath the plague after it hath been washed, and lo, the plague hath not changed its aspect, and the plague hath not spread, — it is unclean; with fire thou dost burn it; it is a fretting in its back-part or in its front-part.

⁵⁶'And if the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague is become weak after it hath been washed, then he hath rent it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;

⁵⁷and if it still be seen in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it is a fretting; with fire thou dost burn it — that in which the plague is.

⁵⁸'And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any vessel of skin which thou dost wash when the plague hath turned aside from them, then it hath been washed a second time, and hath been clean.
