Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 13:38-54

³⁸“When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots;

³⁹then the priest shall examine them; and behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.

⁴⁰“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.

⁴¹If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.

⁴²But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is tzara'at breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

⁴³Then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of tzara'at in the skin of the flesh,

⁴⁴he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.

⁴⁵“The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

⁴⁶All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.

⁴⁷“The garment also that the plague of tzara'at is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;

⁴⁸whether it is in linen, or in wool; whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin;

⁴⁹if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the linnen, or in the woof, or in anything made of skin; it is the plague of tzara'at, and shall be shown to the priest.

⁵⁰The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.

⁵¹He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the linnen, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive tzara'at mildew. It is unclean.

⁵²He shall burn the garment, whether the linnen or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is: for it is a destructive tzara'at mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.

⁵³“If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, either in the linnen, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;

⁵⁴then the priest shall enjoin that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall isolate it seven more days. (RY:4, LY:7)
