Leviticus 13:38-59

³⁸And if a man or woman should have in the skin of their flesh spots of a bright whiteness,

³⁹then the priest shall look; and, behold, there being bright spots of a bright whiteness in the skin of their flesh, it is a tetter; it bursts forth in the skin of his flesh; he is clean.

⁴⁰And if anyone’s head should lose the hair, he is only bald, he is clean.

⁴¹And if his head should lose the hair in front, he is forehead bald: he is clean.

⁴²And if there should be in his baldness of head, or his baldness of forehead, a white or fiery plague, it is leprosy in his baldness of head, or baldness of forehead.

⁴³And the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the appearance of the plague be white or inflamed in his baldness of head or baldness in front, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of his flesh,

⁴⁴he is a leprous man: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean, his plague is in his head.

⁴⁵And the leper in whom the plague is, let his garments be ungirded, and his head uncovered; and let him have a covering put upon his mouth, and he shall be called unclean.

⁴⁶All the days in which the plague shall be upon him, being unclean, he shall be esteemed unclean; he shall dwell apart, his place of sojourn shall be without the camp.

⁴⁷And if a garment have in it the plague of leprosy, a garment of wool, or a garment of flax,

⁴⁸either in the warp or in the woof, or in the linen, or in the woolen threads, or in a skin, or in any workmanship of skin,

⁴⁹and the plague be greenish or reddish in the skin, or in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and he shall show it to the priest.

⁵⁰And the priest shall look upon the plague, and the priest shall set apart that which has the plague seven days.

⁵¹And the priest shall look upon the plague on the seventh day; and if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in the skin, in whatsoever things skins may be used in their workmanship, the plague is a confirmed leprosy; it is unclean.

⁵²He shall burn the garment, either the warp or woof in woolen garments or in flaxen, or in any utensil of skin, in which there may be the plague; because it is a confirmed leprosy; it shall be burned with fire.

⁵³And if the priest should see, and the plague be not spread in the garments, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin,

⁵⁴then the priest shall give directions, and one shall wash that on which there may have been the plague, and the priest shall set it aside a second time for seven days.

⁵⁵And the priest shall look upon it after the plague has been washed; and if this, even the plague, has not changed its appearance, and the plague does not spread, it is unclean; it shall be burned with fire: it is fixed in the garment, in the warp, or in the woof.

⁵⁶And if the priest should look, and the spot be dark after it has been washed, he shall tear it off from the garment, either from the warp or from the woof, or from the skin.

⁵⁷And if it should still appear in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it is a leprosy bursting forth: that wherein is the plague shall be burned with fire.

⁵⁸And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any article of skin, which shall be washed, and the plague depart from it, shall also be washed again, and shall be clean.

⁵⁹This is the law of the plague of leprosy of a woolen or linen garment, either of the warp, or woof, or any leathern article, to pronounce it clean or unclean.
