Leviticus 13:7-39

⁷But if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by the priest, let him go to the priest again:

⁸And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper.

⁹When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;

¹⁰And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,

¹¹It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.

¹²And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

¹³And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

¹⁴But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.

¹⁵And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper.

¹⁶Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

¹⁷And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.

¹⁸And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

¹⁹And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

²⁰And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.

²¹But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

²²And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.

²³But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean.

²⁴Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

²⁵The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

²⁶But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

²⁷And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

²⁸And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

²⁹And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

³⁰Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.

³¹And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:

³²And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin,

³³Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:

³⁴And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

³⁵But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

³⁶Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean.

³⁷But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

³⁸And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

³⁹Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.
