Leviticus 13:38-59

³⁸If a whiteness appear in the skin of a man or a woman,

³⁹The priest shall view them. If he find that a darkish whiteness shineth in the skin, let him know that it is not the leprosy, but a white blemish, and that the man is clean.

⁴⁰The man whose hair falleth off from his head, he is bald and clean:

⁴¹And if the hair fall from his forehead, he is bald before and clean.

⁴²But if in the bald head or in the bald forehead there be risen a white or reddish colour,

⁴³And the priest perceive this, he shall condemn him undoubtedly of leprosy which is risen in the bald part.

⁴⁴Now whosoever shall be defiled with the leprosy, and is separated by the judgment of the priest,

⁴⁵Shall have his clothes hanging loose, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he shall cry out that he is defiled and unclean.

⁴⁶All the time that he is a leper and unclean, he shall dwell alone without the camp.

⁴⁷A woollen or linen garment that shall have the leprosy

⁴⁸In the warp, and the woof, or a skin. or whatsoever is made of a skin,

⁴⁹If it be infected with a white or red spot, it shall be accounted the leprosy, and shall be shewn to the priest.

⁵⁰And he shall look upon it and shall shut it up seven days:

⁵¹And on the seventh day when he looketh on it again, if he find that it if grown, it is a Axed leprosy: he shall judge the garment unclean, and every thing wherein it shall be found:

⁵²And therefore it shall be burnt with fire.

⁵³But if he see that it is not grown,

⁵⁴He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the leprosy is, and he shall shut it up other seven days.

⁵⁵And when he shall see that the former colour is not returned, nor yet the leprosy spread, he shall judge it unclean, and shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has taken hold of the outside of the garment, or through the whole.

⁵⁶But if the place of the leprosy be somewhat dark, after the garment is washed, he shall tear it off, and divide it from that which is sound.

⁵⁷And if after this there appear in those places that before were without spot, a flying and wandering leprosy: it must be burnt with fire.

⁵⁸If it cease, he shall wash with water the parts that are pure, the second time, and they shall be clean.

⁵⁹This is the law touching the leprosy of any woollen or linen garment, either in the warp or woof, or any thing of skins, how it ought to be cleansed, or pronounced unclean.
