Leviticus 13:5-57

⁵On the seventh day the priest will conduct another inspection, and if he discovers that the spot hasn't changed and hasn't spread on the skin, the priest must place the person in isolation for another seven days.

⁶On the seventh day after this the priest will inspect it again. If the spot has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest will declare the person clean since it was a rash. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.

⁷However, if the rash does spread after the person has been inspected by the priest and has been declared clean, the person must go back to be inspected again.

⁸If the priest discovers that the rash has spread, he must declare the person unclean because it is certainly a skin disease.

⁹Anyone who develops an infectious skin disease must be taken to the priest.

¹⁰The priest will inspect them, and if there is a white swelling on the skin and the hair there has turned white, and there is an open wound in the swelling,

¹¹it is a serious skin disease and the priest must declare them unclean. He doesn't need to place the person in isolation because they are unclean.

¹²However, if the skin disease affects all their skin so that it covers their skin from head to toe, everywhere the priest can see,

¹³the priest shall inspect them, and if the disease has covered their entire body, he will declare the person clean. As it has all turned white, they are clean.

¹⁴But if when someone's inspected an open wound is found, they will be unclean.

¹⁵When the priest discovers an open wound, he must declare the person unclean. The open wound is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease.

¹⁶But if the open wound heals and becomes white, the person must go back to the priest.

¹⁷The priest will inspect them again, and if the wound has turned white, the priest is to declare the person clean; then they are clean.

¹⁸When a boil comes up on someone's skin and then it heals,

¹⁹and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot appears in its place, they must show themselves to the priest.

²⁰The priest shall inspect it, and if it seems to be more than something on the surface, and if the hair there has turned white, the priest shall declare him unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has infected the boil.

²¹However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.

²²If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a disease.

²³But if the spot stays the same and doesn't spread, it's just the scar from the boil, and the priest will declare them clean.

²⁴If someone has a burn on their skin and where it's raw changes into a reddish-white or white spot,

²⁵the priest must inspect it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease that has infected the burn, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.

²⁶However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.

²⁷On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again. If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a serious skin disease.

²⁸But if the spot stays the same and hasn't spread on the skin, but has faded, it's the swelling from the burn, and the priest will declare them clean because it's just the scar from the burn.

²⁹If someone, man or woman, has a sore on the head or chin,

³⁰the priest shall inspect it, and if it appears to be more than superficial and the hair in it has become pale and thin, the priest must declare them unclean; it is an infection producing scabs, a serious disease of the head or chin.

³¹However, if the priest inspects the scabby infection and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial and has no pale hair in it, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.

³²On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again and if the scabby infection has not spread and there is no pale hair in it, and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial,

³³then the person must shave themselves except for the scaly area. The priest is to place the person in isolation for another seven days.

³⁴On the seventh day the priest will inspect the scabby infection, and if it has not spread on the skin and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, the priest is to pronounce the person clean. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.

³⁵However, if the scabby infection has spread on the skin after been declared clean,

³⁶the priest must inspect them, and if the scabby infection has indeed spread on the skin, the priest doesn't need to check for pale hair; the person is unclean.

³⁷But if the priest sees that the scabby infection hasn't changed, and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must declare it.

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.

⁵⁵Once it has been washed, the priest is to inspect again it, and if the item with the mold hasn't changed how it looks, it is unclean. Though the mold hasn't spread, you must burn the item, whether the mold damage is on the inside or the outside.

⁵⁶If the priest inspects it and the patch of mold has faded after it has been washed, he is to cut out the affected part the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted.

⁵⁷However, if the mold comes back then it is spreading. In that case you must burn the affected item.
