1 And YAHUAH spake unto Mosheh and Aaron, saying,
2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright
spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh [like] the plague of leprosy; then he
shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and [when]
the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight [be] deeper than
the skin of his flesh, it [is] a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on
him, and pronounce him unclean.
4 If the bright spot [be] white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight [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:
5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, [if] the plague
in his sight be at a stay, [and] the plague spread not in the skin; then the
priest shall shut him up seven days more:
6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, [if] the
plague [be] somewhat dark, [and] the plague spread not in the skin, the priest
shall pronounce him clean: it [is but] a scab: and he shall wash his clothes,
and be clean.
7 But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen
of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
8 And [if] the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the
priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a leprosy.
9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the
priest;
10 And the priest shall see [him]: and, behold, [if] the rising [be] white in
the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and [there be] quick raw flesh in
the rising;
11 It [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he [is] unclean.
12 And if a 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 foot, wheresoever
the priest looketh;
13 Then the priest shall consider: 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.
14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean:
[for] the raw flesh [is] unclean: it [is] a leprosy.
16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto
the priest;
17 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, [if] the plague be turned into
white; then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: he
[is] clean.
18 The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof, was a boil, and
is healed,
19 And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot,
white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it [be] in sight lower than the
skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it [is] a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, [there be] no white hairs therein,
and [if] it [be] not lower than the skin, but [be] somewhat dark; then the
priest shall shut him up seven days:
22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it [is] a plague.
23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not, it [is] a burning
boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 Or if there be [any] flesh, in the skin whereof [there is] a hot burning, and
the quick [flesh] that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or
white;
25 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, [if] the hair in the bright
spot be turned white, and it [be in] sight deeper than the skin; it [is] a
leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it [is] the plague of leprosy.
26 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, [there be] no white hair in the
bright spot, and it [be] no lower than the [other] skin, but [be] somewhat dark;
then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
27 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: [and] if it be spread
much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is]
the plague of leprosy.
28 And if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not in the skin, but
it [be] somewhat dark; it [is] a rising of the burning, and the priest shall
pronounce him clean: for it [is] an inflammation of the burning.
29 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
30 Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it [be] in sight deeper
than the skin; [and there be] in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it [is] a dry scall, [even] a leprosy upon the head or
beard.
31 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it [be] not
in sight deeper than the skin, and [that there is] no black hair in it; then the
priest shall shut up [him that hath] the plague of the scall seven days:
32 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, [if]
the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall [be] not
in sight deeper than the skin;
33 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:
34 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, [if]
the scall be not spread in the skin, nor [be] in sight deeper than the skin;
then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be
clean.
35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
36 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the
skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he [is] unclean.
37 But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and [that] there is black hair
grown up therein; the scall is healed, he [is] clean: and the priest shall
pronounce him clean.
38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, [even]
white bright spots;
39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, [if] the bright spots in the skin of
their flesh [be] darkish white; it [is] a freckled spot [that] groweth in the
skin; he [is] clean.
40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he [is] bald; [yet is] he
clean.
41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his
face, he [is] forehead bald: [yet is] he clean.
42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it
[is] a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, [if] the rising of the sore
[be] white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy
appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
44 He is a leprous man, he [is] unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly
unclean; his plague [is] in his head.
45 And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall be rent, and his
head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry,
Unclean, unclean.
46 All the days wherein the plague [shall be] in him he shall be defiled; he
[is] unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp [shall] his habitation
[be].
47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, [whether it be] a woollen
garment, or a linen garment;
48 Whether [it be] in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a
skin, or in anything made of skin;
49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin,
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin; it [is] a plague of
leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up [it that hath] the
plague seven days:
51 And 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 a skin, [or] in any
work that is made of skin; the plague [is] a fretting leprosy; it [is] unclean.
52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or 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.
53 And 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;
54 Then the priest shall command that they wash [the thing] wherein the plague
[is], and he shall shut it up seven days more:
55 And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and,
behold, [if] the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not
spread; it [is] unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it [is] fret inward,
[whether] it [be] bare within or without.
56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague [be] somewhat dark after the
washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or
out of the warp, or out of the woof:
57 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or
in anything of skin; it [is] a spreading [plague]: thou shalt burn that wherein
the plague [is] with fire.
58 And the garment, either warp, or 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.
59 This [is] the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen,
either in the warp, or woof, or anything of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to
pronounce it unclean.
