Leviticus 13

1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron saying.

Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:

2 Anyone if it will be on [the] skin of flesh his a swelling or flaking skin or a bright spot and it will become on [the] skin of flesh his a plague of a serious skin disease and he will be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of sons his the priests.

“When someone has on his skin a swelling or a rash or a shiny/bright spot that may become (contagious/a dreaded skin disease), he must be brought to Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests.

3 And he will see the priest the plague on [the] skin of the flesh and [the] hair in the plague it has turned - white and [the] appearance of the plague [is] deep more than [the] skin of flesh his [is] a plague of a serious skin disease it and he will see it the priest and he will declare unclean him.

The priest must examine that part of the person’s skin. If the hair in that area has become white and it appears that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, it is a contagious skin disease. When the priest sees that, he must declare that the person must stay away from other people [MTY].

4 And if [is] a bright spot white it on [the] skin of flesh his and [is] deep not appearance its more than the skin and hair its not it has turned white and he will shut up the priest the plagued [person] seven days.

If the spot on the person’s skin is white but it does not appear that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, the priest must tell him to stay away from other people for seven days.

5 And he will see it the priest on the day seventh and there! the plague it has stayed in view his not it has spread the plague in the skin and he will shut up him the priest seven days a second.

Then the priest must examine the person again. If the priest sees that the sore has not changed and has not spread, he must tell the person to stay away from people for seven more days.

6 And he will see the priest it on the day seventh a second [time] and there! it has become dull the plague and not it has spread the plague in the skin and he will declare pure him the priest [is] a skin rash it and he will wash garments his and he will be pure.

Then the priest must examine him again. If the sore has faded and has not spread, the priest will allow him to be with other people again; it is only a rash. After the person washes his clothes, he will be allowed to be with other people again.

7 And if certainly it will spread the skin rash in the skin after he has presented himself to the priest for purification his and he will present himself a second [time] to the priest.

But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.

8 And he will see the priest and there! it has spread the skin rash in the skin and he will declare unclean him the priest [is] a serious skin disease it.

The priest will examine him; and if the sore has spread to more of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people.

9 A plague of a serious skin disease if it will be on anyone and he will be brought to the priest.

When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.

10 And he will see the priest and there! a swelling white [is] in the skin and it it has turned [the] hair white and a raw spot of flesh living [is] in the swelling.

The priest must examine him. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has caused the hair in that swelling to become white, and if the flesh in that area is painful/sensitive,

11 [is] a serious skin disease Grown old it in [the] skin of flesh his and he will declare unclean him the priest not he will shut up him for [is] unclean he.

it is a permanent skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people. The priest does not need to tell that person that he must avoid other people, because other people already are wanting to stay away from him.

12 And if certainly it will break out the serious skin disease on the skin and it will cover the serious skin disease all [the] skin of the plagued [person] from head his and to feet his to all [the] appearance of [the] eyes of the priest.

‘If the disease spreads all over someone’s body, and the priest examines that person and sees that it is covering his skin from his head to his feet,

13 And he will see the priest and there! it has covered the serious skin disease all flesh his and he will declare pure the plagued [person] all of him it has turned white [is] pure he.

and it has caused all his skin to become white [which will indicate that the disease has ended], the priest will declare that the person does not have to stay away from other people.

14 And on [the] day appears on him flesh living he will be unclean.

But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,

15 And he will see the priest the flesh living and he will declare unclean him the flesh living [is] unclean it [is] a serious skin disease it.

and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

16 Or if it will return the flesh living and it will be turned to white and he will go to the priest.

But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.

17 And he will see it the priest and there! it has been turned the plague to white and he will declare pure the priest the plagued [person] [is] pure he.

The priest must examine him again; and if the sores have become white, the priest will declare that the person who had been infected is now permitted to be with other people again.

18 And flesh if it will be on it on skin its a boil and it will be healed.

‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,

19 And it will be in [the] place of the boil a swelling white or a bright spot white reddish and he will present himself to the priest.

but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.

20 And he will see the priest and there! appearance its [is] deep more than the skin and hair its it has turned white and he will declare unclean him the priest [is] a plague of a serious skin disease it in the boil it has broken out.

The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

21 And if - he will see it the priest and there! there not in it [is] hair white and [is] deep not it more than the skin and it [is] dull and he will shut up him the priest seven days.

But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin and has become less bright/shiny, then the priest will order him to stay away from other people for seven days.

22 And if certainly it will spread in the skin and he will declare unclean the priest him [is] a plague it.

But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

23 And if in place its it will stay the bright spot not it has spread [is] [the] scar of the boil it and he will declare pure him the priest.

But if that spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.

24 Or flesh if it will be on skin its a burn of fire and it will be [the] raw spot of the burn a bright spot white reddish or white.

‘Then someone has a burn on his skin and a bright/shiny or white spot appears, and the flesh in that area is sensitive/painful,

25 And he will see it the priest and there! it has been turned [the] hair white in the bright spot and appearance its [is] deep more than the skin [is] a serious skin disease it in the burn it has broken out and he will declare unclean him the priest [is] a plague of a serious skin disease it.

the priest must examine the spot. If the hair in that spot has turned white and it seems to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the burn was, and that person must stay away from other people.

26 And if - he will see it the priest and there! there not in the bright spot [is] hair white and [is] deep not it more than the skin and it [is] dull and he will shut up him the priest seven days.

But when the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin, and has faded, the priest will declare that the person must stay away from people for seven days.

27 And he will see it the priest on the day seventh certainly [if] it will spread in the skin and he will declare unclean the priest him [is] a plague of a serious skin disease it.

On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the sore is spreading, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

28 And if in place its it will stay the bright spot not it has spread in the skin and it [is] dull [is] [the] swelling of the burn it and he will declare pure him the priest for [is] [the] scar of the burn it.

However, if the spot is not changed and has not spread but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.

29 And man or a woman if it will be on him a plague on [the] head or in [the] beard.

‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,

30 And he will see the priest the plague and there! appearance its [is] deep more than the skin and [is] in it hair yellow thin and he will declare unclean him the priest [is] a scall it [is] a serious skin disease of the head or the beard it.

the priest must examine it. If it appears to be deeper than [just on the surface of] the skin, and the hair in that spot has thinned out and has become yellowish, it is a contagious skin disease that causes itching. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.

31 And if he will see the priest [the] plague of the scall and there! not appearance its [is] deep more than the skin and [is] hair black there not in it and he will shut up the priest [the] plagued [person] of the scall seven days.

But when the priest examines that kind of sore, if it seems to be only on the surface of the skin and there is no healthy hair in it, the priest will tell the person to stay away from other people for seven days.

32 And he will see the priest the plague on the day seventh and there! not it has spread the scall and not it was in it hair yellow and [the] appearance of the scall not [is] deep more than the skin.

On the seventh day, the priest will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and if there is no yellow hair in that spot and if it appears to be only on the surface of the skin,

33 And he will shave himself and the scall not he will shave and he will shut up the priest the scall seven days a second.

the person must shave the hair near the sore but not the hair on the sore. And the priest will tell him to stay away from other people for seven more days.

34 And he will see the priest the scall on the day seventh and there! not it has spread the scall in the skin and appearance its not it [is] deep more than the skin and he will declare pure him the priest and he will wash garments his and he will be pure.

On the seventh day, the priest will examine that spot again. If it has not spread and it appears to be only on the surface of the skin, the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with people again. The person must wash his clothes, and then he can be with other people.

35 And if certainly it will spread the scall in the skin after purification his.

But if the sore later spreads,

36 And he will see it the priest and there! it has spread the scall in the skin not he will seek the priest for the hair yellow [is] unclean he.

the priest must examine him again. If the itch/sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair, because it is clear that the person has a contagious skin disease.

37 And if in view his it has stayed the scall and hair black it has sprouted in it it has been healed the scall [is] pure he and he will declare pure him the priest.

However, if the priest thinks that the spot has not changed, and healthy hair is growing in that area, it is clear that the itch has healed, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.

38 And a man or a woman if it will be on [the] skin of flesh their bright spots bright spots white.

‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,

39 And he will see the priest and there! [are] on [the] skin of flesh their bright spots dull white [is] a skin rash it it has broken out on the skin [is] pure he.

the priest should examine them. But if the spots are dull white, it is only a rash, and [the priest will declare that] the person is permitted to be with other people.

40 And anyone if it will become bare head his [is] bald he [is] pure he.

‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.

41 And if from [the] side of face his it will become bare head his [is] bald he [is] pure he.

42 And if it will be on the bald spot or on the bald forehead a plague white reddish [is] a serious skin disease [which is] breaking out it on bald spot his or on bald forehead his.

But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.

43 And he will see it the priest and there! [the] swelling of the plague [is] white reddish on bald spot his or on bald forehead his like [the] appearance of a serious skin disease of skin of flesh.

The priest must examine him. If the swollen sore is a bright spot like [the spot on someone who has] a contagious skin disease,

44 [is] a person [who] has a serious skin disease He [is] unclean he surely he will declare unclean him the priest [is] on head his plague his.

the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.

45 The [one who] has a serious skin disease whom [is] on him the plague garments his they will be torn and head his it will be let loose and over a moustache he will cover and unclean! - unclean! he will call out.

‘Anyone who has a contagious skin disease must wear torn clothes and not comb his hair. [When he is near other people], he must cover the lower part to his face and call out, “Do not come near me! I have a contagious skin disease!”

46 All [the] days which the plague [is] on him he will be unclean [is] unclean he alone he will dwell [will be] from [the] outside of the camp dwelling his.

He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”

47 And the clothing if it will be in it a plague of a serious disease in clothing of wool or in clothing of linen.

“Sometimes a person’s clothing gets mildew on it. It may be clothing that is woven from wool or made from linen or from leather.

48 Or in warp or in woof of the linen and of the wool or in a hide or in every work of hide.

49 And it will be the plague greenish - or reddish in the clothing or in the hide or in the warp or in the woof or in every article of hide [is] a plague of a serious disease it and it will be shown to the priest.

If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.

50 And he will see the priest the plague and he will shut up the plague seven days.

The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.

51 And he will see the plague on the day seventh if it has spread the plague in the clothing or in the warp or in the woof or in the hide to all that it will be made the hide into a product [is] a serious disease malignant the plague [is] unclean it.

On the seventh day he must examine it again. If the mildew has spread, it is clear that it is a type of mildew that destroys clothing, and that clothing must not be worn again.

52 And he will burn the garment or the warp - or the woof in the wool or in the linen or every article of hide which it will be in it the plague for [is] a serious disease malignant it with fire it will be burned.

The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.

53 And if he will see the priest and there! not it has spread the plague in the garment or in the warp or in the woof or in every article of hide.

But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,

54 And he will command the priest and they will wash [that] which [is] in it the plague and he will shut up it seven days a second.

he will tell the person [who owns it] to wash it. Then he must put it in a separate place for another seven days.

55 And he will see the priest after - was washed out the plague and there! not it has turned the plague eye its and the plague not it has spread [is] unclean it with fire you will burn it [is] a mildew it on bald spot its or on bald forehead its.

Then the priest will examine it again. If the color of the mildew has not changed, even though it has not spread, that item must not be worn again. It does not matter if the mildew is on the inside of the clothing or on the outside; it must be burned.

56 And if he has seen the priest and there! it has become dull the plague after was washed out it and he will tear it from the clothing or from the hide or from the warp or from the woof.

But when the priest examines it [after it has been washed], if the mildew has faded, he must tear out that part that had the mildew in it.

57 And if it will appear again in the garment or in the warp or in the woof or in every article of hide [is] breaking out it with fire you will burn it [that] which [is] in it the plague.

But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.

58 And the garment or the warp or the woof or every article of hide which you will wash and it will depart from them the plague and it will be washed a second [time] and it will be pure.

But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.

59 This [is] [the] legal [procedure] of [the] plague of [the] serious disease of [the] clothing of wool - or of linen or the warp or the woof or every article of hide to declare pure it or to declare unclean it.

Those are the regulations concerning mildew on things made of wool or linen or leather, for deciding whether those things can continue to be worn or not.”
