Leviticus 13
Laws about the plague of leprosy
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
2 When a man is in the skin of his flesh, and there is a swelling, or a scab, or a white scourge, which is in the skin of his flesh as a plague of leprosy, then shall a priest be brought to Aaron, or to one of his sons the priests,
3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh; If the hair on the plague has turned white, and the plague looks deeper than the skin of his flesh, the plague of leprosy is; The priest, seeing him, shall pronounce him unclean.
4 But if the skin of his flesh is white, and it does not appear deeper than the skin, and the hair does not turn white, then the priest will shut up the plague seven days;
5 And on the seventh day the priest shall examine him; And, behold, if the plague in his sight cease, and the plague in the skin is not stretched forth, then the priest shall shut him up seven days;
6 And the priest shall look at it again on the seventh day; And, behold, if the plague is gathered up, and the plague upon the skin is not stretched forth, then the priest shall declare it clean; And he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.
7 But if the lament in the skin shall be greatly enlarged, after it has been shown to the priest for his cleansing, he shall again be revealed to the priest,
8 And the priest shall examine it, and, behold, if the lust in the skin is stretched out, the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprous.
9 When a man is a plague of leprosy, he shall be brought to the priest,
10 And the priest shall examine him, and, behold, if there be a white swelling in the skin, which made the hair white, and there be some quickening of the living flesh in the swelling,
11 The leprosy is old in the skin of his flesh; therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not shut him up, because he is unclean.
12 And if leprosy bloometh all over the skin, and leprosy covers all the skin of the plague, from his head to his feet, how much he can see the eyes of the priest,
13 And the priest shall examine, and, behold, if the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, then he shall declare him that hath the spot clean: all is white; Clean is.
14 But in the day that the living flesh shall appear in it, it shall be unclean.
15 And the priest seeing the living flesh shall declare him unclean: the flesh is unclean: it is leprous.
16 Or, turning the flesh alive, and changing into white, then shall he come to the priest,
17 And the priest shall examine it, and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; Clean is.
18 If the flesh also be healed in the skin thereof,
19 And in the place of the apostema, come white swelling or white blister, taking off the vial, then it will be shown to the priest.
20 And the priest shall examine, and, behold, if it appear to be deeper than the skin, and his hair become white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean: a plague of leprosy is; By the apostema sprouted.
21 And the priest shall see it, and, behold, it shall not appear in it white, nor be deeper than the skin, but shriveled: and the priest shall shut him up seven days.
22 And if it be done in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; Plague is
23 But if the boil shall stand in its place, and not spread, the inflammation of the boil shall be; The priest shall declare him clean.
24 Or when there is a burn in the skin of the flesh, and in the one that is healed of the burn there is a white blaze, red or white,
25 And when the priest saw it, behold, the hair in the duster became white, and it appeared to be deeper than the skin, and leprosy, which blossomed by the burning: therefore the priest shall declare him unclean; The plague of leprosy is.
26 But if a priest sees it, and, behold, it shall not be seen in the dunghill, nor be deeper than the skin, but it shall be gathered together, and the priest shall shut it up seven days.
27 And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day; If it be spread abroad in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; The plague of leprosy is.
28 But if the boil shall stand in its place, and the skin not be stretched out, but if it be taken up, the burning of the burning shall be: therefore the priest shall declare it clean, for it is a sign of burning.
29 And when a man or a woman has a sore in the head or in the beard,
30 And the priest shall examine the wound, and, behold, if it appear to be deeper than the skin, and the fine yellow hair therein, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; Had, leprosy of the head or the beard is.
31 But if the priest, when he has examined the plague of the herd, and, behold, if it tarry no deeper than the skin, and if there be no black hair thereon, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the sheath seven days,
32 And the priest shall examine the plague on the seventh day, and, behold, if it were not stretched out, and there be no yellow hair therein, neither should it appear to be deeper than the skin,
33 Then shall he shave; But he will not shave her; And the priest shall shut up the one who has the second time seven days.
34 And the priest shall examine it on the seventh day; And, behold, if it be, if it be not stretched out in the skin, and it be not found deeper than the skin, the priest shall declare it clean, and wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.
35 But if he had it, after his cleansing, if he had stretched himself greatly in the skin,
36 Then the priest shall examine it, and, behold, if it be spread abroad in the skin, the priest shall not look for yellow hair: he is unclean.
37 But if he had it, he stood still in his sight, and his black hair grew in her, he is sane, he is clean; Therefore the priest shall declare it clean.
38 And when a man or a woman have white blisters in the skin of his flesh,
39 And the priest shall look, and, behold, if in the skin of his flesh shall appear ewes, white, white, and white, which blossomed in the skin; Clean is.
40 And when the man's head is stripped, he is bald, and he is clean.
41 And if he strips the head of his head, he is a little bald; Clean is.
42 But if there is a reddish-white plague on the bald head, or the bald head, leprosy is on his bald head or bald head.
43 And when the priest has examined, and, behold, if the swelling of the plague upon his bald head or bald head is white, drawing red as leprosy in the skin of the flesh,
44 The man is a leper, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly as unclean, and his plague shall be upon his head.
45 And the garments of the leper with the plague shall be rent, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry out, He shall be unclean and unclean.
46 All the days that the plague is in him; He shall be unclean, he shall dwell alone, his habitation shall be outside the camp.
47 And if there be a plague of leprosy in any garment, in a woolen garment, or in a linen garment,
48 Or in the woven thread, or in the woven thread, whether of linen, or of wool, or of skin, or of any work of skins,
49 And the plague in the garment, or in the skin, or in the woven thread, or in the woven thread, or in any of the skins appear green or red, the plague of leprosy is, wherefore it shall be shewed unto the priest,
50 And the priest shall examine the plague, and shall shut the thing that is plague for seven days.
51 And he shall examine the plague on the seventh day; If the plague be spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woven thread, or in the skin, for any work that is made of the skin, leprous rod is, unclean;
52 And the garment shall be burned, or the warp, or the woven of wool, or of the flax, or of any of the skins, in which the plague shall be: for the leprousness shall be with fire, and it shall be burnt with fire.
53 But if the priest saw it, the plague was not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any work of hides,
54 And the priest shall command that he wash that which was in the plague, and he shall shut it up the second time for seven days;
55 And the priest shall examine the plague after it is cleansed, and, behold, the plague has not changed its mind, nor the plague has spread, it is unclean with fire, ye shall burn it: a plague is a pest, whether it be stripped wholly or partly.
56 But if the priest sees that the plague has taken place, after it has been washed, then he will tear it from the garment, or from the skin, or from the woven or woven thread;
57 And if it yet appear in the garment, or in the warp or woven thread, or in any of the skins, the leprous leprousness is: with fire shalt thou burn that which is in the plague;
58 But the garment, or woven thread, or woof, or anything fur, which you wash, and the plague be removed, shall be washed the second time, and it shall be clean.
59 This is the law of the plague of the leprosy of the garment of wool, or of linen, or of warp, or of woof, or of any thing of skin, to declare it clean, or to declare it unclean.
