Leviticus 13:38-54

³⁸If someone, man or woman, has white spots on the skin,

³⁹the priest shall inspect them, and if the spots appear a dull white, it's just a rash that has developed on the skin; the person is clean.

⁴⁰If a man loses his hair and goes bald, he is still clean.

⁴¹If he has a receding hairline and he goes bald on his forehead, he is still clean.

⁴²But if a reddish-white sore appears on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease developing.

⁴³The priest must inspect him, and if the swelling of the sore on his bald head or forehead looks reddish-white like a skin disease,

⁴⁴then he is has an infectious disease; he is unclean. The priest must declare him unclean because of the infection on his head.

⁴⁵Anyone who has such diseases must wear clothes that are torn and let their hair remain uncombed. They must cover their faces and shout out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’

⁴⁶They remain unclean as long as the infection lasts. They have to live alone somewhere outside the camp.

⁴⁷The following regulations relate to any material that becomes affected by mold, such as wool or linen clothing,

⁴⁸anything woven or knitted made from linen or wool, or anything made of leather:

⁴⁹If the spot is green or red on the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is infected with mold and must be shown to the priest.

⁵⁰The priest must inspect the mold and place the item in isolation for seven days.

⁵¹On the seventh day the priest shall inspect it again, and if the patch of mold has spread in the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is a harmful mold; the article is unclean, whatever it is being used for.

⁵²The priest is to burn it, whether the affected item is wool or linen or leather. Because the mold is harmful, the article must be burned.

⁵³However, if when the priest inspects it again it, the patch mold has not spread,

⁵⁴the priest shall order that the affected item is washed and placed in isolation for another seven days.
