1And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying , 2When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising , or a scab , or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy , then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest , or unto one of his sons the priests : 3and the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh : and if the hair in the plague be turned white , and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh , it is the plague of leprosy ; and the priest shall look on him , and pronounce him unclean . 4And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh , and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin , and the hair thereof be not turned white , then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days : 5and the priest shall look on him the seventh day : and , behold , if in his eyes the plague be at a stay , and the plague be not spread in the skin , then the priest shall shut him up seven days more : 6and the priest shall look on him again the seventh day ; and , behold , if the plague be dim , and the plague be not spread in the skin , then the priest shall pronounce him clean : it is a scab : and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean . 7But if the scab spread abroad in the skin , after that he hath showed himself to the priest for his cleansing , he shall show himself to the priest again : 8and the priest shall look ; and , behold , if the scab be spread in the skin , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is leprosy . 9When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest ; 10and the priest shall look ; and , behold , if there be a white rising in the skin , and it have turned the hair white , and there be quick raw flesh in the rising , 11it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh , and the priest shall pronounce him unclean : he shall not shut him up ; for he is unclean . 12And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin , and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his feet , as far as appeareth to the priest ; 13then the priest shall look ; and , behold , if the leprosy have covered all his flesh , he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague : it is all turned white : he is clean . 14But whensoever raw flesh appeareth in him , he shall be unclean . 15And the priest shall look on the raw flesh , and pronounce him unclean : the raw flesh is unclean : it is leprosy . 16Or if the raw flesh turn again , and be changed unto white , then he shall come unto the priest ; 17and the priest shall look on him ; and , behold , if the plague be turned into white , then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague : he is clean .
The Procedure for Cleansing
18And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil , and it is healed , 19and in the place of the boil there is a white rising , or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be showed to the priest ; 20and the priest shall look ; and , behold , if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin , and the hair thereof be turned white , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is the plague of leprosy , it hath broken out in the boil . 21But if the priest look on it , and , behold , there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin , but be dim ; then the priest shall shut him up seven days : 22and if it spread abroad in the skin , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is a plague . 23But if the bright spot stay in its place , and be not spread , it is the scar of the boil ; and the priest shall pronounce him clean . 24Or when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by fire, and the quick flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white ; 25then the priest shall look upon it ; and , behold , if the hair in the bright spot be turned white , and the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin ; it is leprosy , it hath broken out in the burning : and the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is the plague of leprosy . 26But if the priest look on it , and , behold , there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the skin , but be dim ; then the priest shall shut him up seven days : 27and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day : if it spread abroad in the skin , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is the plague of leprosy . 28And if the bright spot stay in its place , and be not spread in the skin , but be dim ; it is the rising of the burning , and the priest shall pronounce him clean : for it is the scar of the burning .
Other Skin Diseases and Contagion
29And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the beard , 30then the priest shall look on the plague ; and , behold , if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin , and there be in it yellow thin hair , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is a scall , it is leprosy of the head or of the beard . 31And if the priest look on the plague of the scall , and , behold , the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin , and there be no black hair in it , then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days : 32and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague ; and , behold , if the scall be not spread , and there be in it no yellow hair , and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin , 33then he shall be shaven , but the scall shall he not shave ; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more : 34and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall ; and , behold , if the scall be not spread in the skin , and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin ; then the priest shall pronounce him clean : and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean . 35But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing , 36then the priest shall look on him ; and , behold , if the scall be spread in the skin , the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair ; he is unclean . 37But if in his eyes the scall be at a stay , and black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed , he is clean : and the priest shall pronounce him clean .
Garments and Mold
38And when a man or a woman hath in the skin of the flesh bright spots, even white bright spots; 39then the priest shall look ; and , behold , if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of a dull white , it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin ; he is clean . 40And if a man ’s hair be fallen off his head , he is bald ; yet is he clean . 41And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head , he is forehead bald ; yet is he clean . 42But if there be in the bald head , or the bald forehead , a reddish-white plague ; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head , or his bald forehead . 43Then the priest shall look upon him ; and , behold , if the rising of the plague be reddish-white in his bald head , or in his bald forehead , as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh ; 44he is a leprous man , he is unclean : the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean ; his plague is in his head . 45And the leper in whom the plague is , his clothes shall be rent , and the hair of his head shall go loose , and he shall cover his upper lip , and shall cry , Unclean , unclean . 46All the days wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean ; he is unclean : he shall dwell alone ; without the camp shall his dwelling be . 47The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in , whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; 48whether it be in warp , or woof ; of linen , or of woollen ; whether in a skin , or in anything made of skin ; 49if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin , or in the warp , or in the woof , or in anything of skin ; it is the plague of leprosy , and shall be showed unto the priest . 50And the priest shall look upon the plague , and shut up that which hath the plague seven days : 51and he shall look on the plague on the seventh day : if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp , or in the woof , or in the skin , whatever service skin is used for ; the plague is a fretting leprosy ; it is unclean . 52And he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof , in woollen or in linen , or anything of skin , wherein the plague is : for it is a fretting leprosy ; it shall be burnt in the fire. 53And if the priest shall look , and , behold , the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp , or in the woof , or in anything of skin ; 54then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is , and he shall shut it up seven days more : 55and the priest shall look , after that the plague is washed ; and , behold , if the plague have not changed its color, and the plague be not spread , it is unclean ; thou shalt burn it in the fire: it is a fret , whether the bareness be within or without . 56And if the priest look , and , behold , the plague be dim after the washing thereof , then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin , or out of the warp , or out of the woof : 57and if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp , or in the woof , or in anything of skin , it is breaking out : thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. 58And the garment, either the warp , or the woof , or whatsoever thing of skin it be , which thou shalt wash , if the plague be departed from them , then it shall be washed the second time , and shall be clean . 59This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen , either in the warp , or the woof , or anything of skin , to pronounce it clean , or to pronounce it unclean .
