Leviticus 13
1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
2 “When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.
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 to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests:
3 The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.
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 [is] 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 is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
If the bright spot [is] white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight, not deeper than the skin, and the hair of it not turned white; then the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the plague seven days:
5 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.
And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and behold, [if] the plague in his sight is at a stay, [and] the plague spreadeth not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
6 The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and behold, [if] the plague [is] somewhat dark, [and] the plague spreadeth 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 spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
But if the scab shall spread much in the skin, after he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again:
8 The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
And [if] the priest shall 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 to the priest;
When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest:
10 and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
And the priest shall see [him]: and behold, [if] the rising [is] white in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and [there is] raw flesh in the rising;
11 it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.
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 “If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,
And if a leprosy shall break out in the skin, and the leprosy shall cover all the skin of [him that hath] the plague from his head even to his foot, wherever the priest looketh;
13 then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
Then the priest shall consider: and behold, [if] the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: it is all turned white: he [is] clean.
14 But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
15 The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
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 turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.
Or if the raw flesh shall turn again, and be changed into white, he shall come to the priest;
17 The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
And the priest shall see him: and behold, [if] the plague is turned into white: then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: he [is] clean.
18 “When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin of it, was a boil, and is healed,
19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.
And in the place of the boil there shall be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the priest;
20 The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.
And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it [is] in sight lower than the skin, and the hair of it [is] turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
21 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it is not deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
But if the priest shall look on it, and behold, [there are] no white hairs in it, and [if] it [is] not lower than the skin, but somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
And if it hath spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague.
23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and has not spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
But if the bright spot shall stay in its place, [and] not spread, it [is] a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 “Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,
Or if there [is any] flesh, in the skin of which [there is] a hot burning, and the live [flesh] that burneth hath a white bright spot, somewhat reddish or white;
25 then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
Then the priest shall look upon it: and behold, [if] the hair in the bright spot [is] turned white, and it [is 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 examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
But if the priest shall look on it, and behold, [there is] no white hair in the bright spot, and it [is] no lower than the [other] skin, but [is] somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
27 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: [and] if it [is] spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] the plague of leprosy,
28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and has not spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
And if the bright spot shall stay in its place, [and] not spread in the skin, but [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 “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,
If a man or woman shall have a plague upon the head or the beard;
30 then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
Then the priest shall see the plague: and behold, if it [is] in sight deeper than the skin, [and there is] 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 If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.
And if the priest shall look on the plague of the scall, and behold, it [is] not in sight deeper than the skin, and no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the plague of the scall seven days:
32 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch is not deeper than the skin,
And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and behold, [if] the scall spreadeth not, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the scall [is] not in sight deeper than the skin;
33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more days.
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 On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch has not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and behold, [if] the scall is not spread in the skin, nor [is] 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 itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
But if the scall shall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
36 then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
Then the priest shall look on him: and behold, if the scall is spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he [is] unclean.
37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
But if the scall shall be in his sight at a stay, and there is black hair grown in it; the scall is healed, he [is] clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,
If a man also or a woman shall have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, [even] white bright spots;
39 then the priest shall examine them. 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.
Then the priest shall look: and behold, [if] the bright spots in the skin of their flesh [are] darkish white; it [is] a freckled spot [that] groweth in the skin; he [is] clean.
40 “If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
And the man whose hair hath fallen off his head, he [is] bald; [yet is] he clean.
41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, his forehead is bald. He is clean.
And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head towards his face, he [is] forehead-bald; [yet is] he clean.
42 But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.
And if there is in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; [it is] a leprosy sprung up on his bald head, or his bald forehead.
43 Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,
Then the priest shall look upon it: and behold, [if] the rising of the sore is white reddish on his bald head, or on 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 surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
He is a leprous man, he [is] unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in 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!’
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 in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.
All the days in which 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 is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, [whether] a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
48 whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in leather, or in anything made of leather;
Whether in the warp, or woof, of linen, or of woolen: whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin:
49 if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.
And if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin: it [is] a plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest:
50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.
And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up [that which hath] the plague seven days:
51 He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.
And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague is 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 burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woolen or in linen, or any thing of skin, in which the plague is: for it [is] a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
53 “If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
And if the priest shall look, and behold, the plague is not spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more days.
Then the priest shall command that they wash [the thing] in which the plague [is], and he shall shut it up seven days more:
55 Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague has not changed its color, and the plague has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.
And the priest shall look on the plague after it is washed: and behold, [if] the plague hath not changed its color, and the plague hath not spread; it [is] unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it [is] fret inward, [whether] it [is] bare within or without.
56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
And if the priest shall look, and behold, the plague [is] 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 appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn what the plague is in with fire.
And if it shall appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it [is] a spreading [plague]: thou shalt burn that in which the plague [is], with fire.
58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”
And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatever thing of skin [it is], which thou shalt wash, if the plague hath departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
59 This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
This [is] the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
