Leviticus 13:4-27

⁴Soothly if the shining whiteness that is in the skin, neither is lower than the tother flesh, and the hairs be of the former colour, the priest shall enclose him seven days;

⁵and the priest shall behold him in the seventh day, and soothly if the leprosy wax not further, neither passeth the former terms in the flesh, again the priest shall enclose him again seven other days;

⁶and he shall behold him in the seventh day; if the leprosy is then dark, and waxeth not in the flesh, the priest shall cleanse him, that is, shall deem him to be clean, for it is a scab; and the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.

⁷That if the leprosy waxeth again, after that he is seen of the priest, and is yielded to cleanness, he shall be brought again to the priest,

⁸and he shall be deemed to be of uncleanness.

⁹If the wound or the plague of leprosy is in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,

¹⁰and he shall see the man; and when white colour is in the flesh, and it changeth the sight, or former colour, of the hairs, and that flesh appeareth quick, or waxing,

¹¹it shall be deemed the eldest or most old leprosy, and grown to the skin; therefore the priest shall defoul him, that is, deem him to be foul, and the priest shall not enclose him again, for it is of open uncleanness.

¹²But if the leprosy running about in the skin flowereth out, and covereth all the flesh, from the head till to the feet, whatever thing falleth under the sight of eyes;

¹³the priest shall behold him, and he shall deem him to be holden with the cleanest leprosy, for all the skin is turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean.

¹⁴Soothly when quick flesh appeareth in him, he shall be defouled

¹⁵by the doom of the priest, and he shall be areckoned among unclean men; for quick flesh is unclean, if it is sprinkled with leprosy.

¹⁶That if the flesh is turned again into whiteness, and covereth all the man,

¹⁷the priest shall behold him, and shall deem that he is clean.

¹⁸The flesh and the skin, in which a botch is bred, and is healed,

¹⁹and the place of the botch, or a fell sore, appeareth white, either red, the man shall be brought to the priest;

²⁰and when the priest seeth the place of the leprosy lower than the other flesh, and the hairs turned into whiteness, the priest shall defoul him, that is, deem him foul; for the wound or the plague of leprosy is bred or sprung in the botch.

²¹That if the hair is of the former colour, and the sign of the wound is some-deal dark, and is not lower than the flesh beside, the priest shall enclose the man seven days;

²²and soothly, if his sore waxeth, the priest shall deem the man to be a leper;

²³forsooth if it standeth in his place, it is a sign of a botch, and the man shall be clean.

²⁴Flesh, and skin, which the fire hath burnt, and is healed, and hath a white, either red, sign of wound, the priest shall behold it,

²⁵and lo! if it is turned into white-ness, and the place thereof is lower than the tother skin, the priest shall defoul the man, for a wound or the plague of leprosy is bred or sprung in the sign of wound.

²⁶That if the colour of the hairs is not changed, neither the wound, or soreness, is lower than the tother flesh, and that species of leprosy is some-deal dark, the priest shall enclose the man seven days;

²⁷and in the seventh day he shall behold him; if the leprosy waxeth in the flesh, the priest shall defoul the man;
