Leviticus 13
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to 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 to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests:
“When a man has a rising, or scab, or bright spot in the skin of his flesh, and it has become a leprous plague in the skin of his flesh, then he has been brought to Aaron the priest, or to 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 [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.
and the priest has seen the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague [is] deeper than the skin of his flesh—it [is] a plague of leprosy, and the priest has seen him, and has pronounced him unclean.
4 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:
And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest has shut up [him who has] the plague [for] seven days.
5 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:
And the priest has seen him on the seventh day, and behold, the plague has stood in his eyes, the plague has not spread in the skin, and the priest has shut him up [for] a second seven days.
6 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.
And the priest has seen him on the second seventh day, and behold, the plague has faded, and the plague has not spread in the skin, and the priest has pronounced him clean; it [is] a scab, and he has washed his garments, and has been clean.
7 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:
And if the scab spreads greatly in the skin, after his being seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he has been seen a second time by the priest;
8 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.
and the priest has seen, and behold, the scab has spread in the skin, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] leprosy.
9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest:
When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he has been brought to the priest,
10 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;
and the priest has seen, and behold, a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and a quickening of raw flesh [is] 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.
it [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; he does not shut him up, for he [is] unclean.
12 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;
And if the leprosy breaks out greatly in the skin, and the leprosy has covered all the skin of [him who has] the plague, from his head even to his feet, to all that appears to the eyes of the priest,
13 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.
then the priest has seen, and behold, the leprosy has covered all his flesh, and he has pronounced [him who has] the plague clean; it has all turned white; he [is] clean.
14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him, he is 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.
and the priest has seen the raw flesh, and has pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean—it [is] leprosy.
16 Or if the raw flesh shall turn again, and be changed into white, he shall come to the priest;
Or when the raw flesh turns back, and has been turned to white, then he has come to the priest,
17 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.
and the priest has seen him, and behold, the plague has been turned to white, and the priest has pronounced clean [him who has] the plague; he [is] clean.
18 The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin of it, was a boil, and is healed,
And when flesh has in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it has been healed,
19 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;
and there has been in the place of the ulcer a white rising, or a bright white spot, reddish, then it has been seen by the priest,
20 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.
and the priest has seen, and behold, its appearance [is] lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy—it has broken out in an ulcer.
21 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:
And if the priest sees it, and behold, there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and has faded, then the priest has shut him up [for] seven days;
22 And if it hath spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague.
and if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean—it [is] a plague;
23 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.
and if the bright spot stays in its place—it has not spread—it [is] an inflammation of the ulcer; and the priest has pronounced him clean.
24 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;
Or when flesh has a fiery burning in its skin, and the quickening of the burning, the bright white spot, has been reddish or white,
25 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.
and the priest has seen it, and behold, the hair has turned white in the bright spot, and its appearance [is] deeper than the skin, it [is] leprosy; it has broken out in the burning, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.
26 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:
And if the priest sees it, and behold, there is no white hair on the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest has shut him up [for] seven days;
27 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,
and the priest has seen him on the seventh day, [and] if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.
28 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.
And if the bright spot stays in its place, it has not spread in the skin, and has faded; it [is] a rising of the burning, and the priest has pronounced him clean; for it [is] inflammation of the burning.
29 If a man or woman shall have a plague upon the head or the beard;
And when a man (or a woman) has a plague in him, in the head or in the beard,
30 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.
then the priest has seen the plague, and behold, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and a thin, shining hair [is] in it, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a scale—it [is] a leprosy of the head or of the beard.
31 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:
And when the priest sees the scaly plague, and behold, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest has shut up [him who has] the scaly plague [for] seven days.
32 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;
And the priest has seen the plague on the seventh day, and behold, the scale has not spread, and a shining hair has not been in it, and the appearance of the scale is not 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:
then he has shaved himself, but he does not shave the scale; and the priest has shut up [him who has] the scale [for] a second seven days.
34 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.
And the priest has seen the scale on the seventh day, and behold, the scale has not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the priest has pronounced him clean, and he has washed his garments, and has been clean.
35 But if the scall shall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
And if the scale spreads greatly in the skin after his cleansing,
36 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.
and the priest has seen him, and behold, the scale has spread in the skin, the priest does not seek for the shining hair—he is unclean;
37 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.
and if in his eyes the scale has stayed, and black hair has sprung up in it, the scale has been healed—he [is] clean—and the priest has pronounced him clean.
38 If a man also or a woman shall have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, [even] white bright spots;
And when a man or woman has bright spots in the skin of their flesh, white bright spots,
39 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.
and the priest has seen, and behold, white [and] faded bright spots [are] in the skin of their flesh—it [is] a freckled spot broken out in the skin; he [is] clean.
40 And the man whose hair hath fallen off his head, he [is] bald; [yet is] he clean.
And when a man’s head [is] polished, he [is] bald; he [is] clean;
41 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.
and if his head is polished from the corner of his face, he [is] bald of the forehead; he [is] clean.
42 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.
And when there is in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague, it [is] a leprosy breaking out in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead;
43 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;
and the priest has seen him, and behold, the rising of the reddish-white plague in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, [is] as the appearance of leprosy, 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.
he [is] a leprous man—he [is] unclean; the priest pronounces 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.
As for the leper in whom [is] the plague, his garments are torn, and his head is uncovered, and he covers over the upper lip, and he calls, Unclean! Unclean!
46 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].
He is unclean all the days that the plague [is] in him; he [is] unclean. He dwells alone; his dwelling [is] at the outside of the camp.
47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, [whether] a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
And when there is a plague of leprosy in any garment—in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen,
48 Whether in the warp, or woof, of linen, or of woolen: whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin:
or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in any work of skin—
49 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:
and the plague has been greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a plague of leprosy, and it has been shown [to] the priest.
50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up [that which hath] the plague seven days:
And the priest has seen the plague, and has shut up [that which has] the plague [for] seven days;
51 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.
and he has seen the plague on the seventh day, and the plague has spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, of all that is made of skin for work, the plague [is] a fretting leprosy; it [is] unclean.
52 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.
And he has burned the garment, or the warp, or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any vessel of skin in which the plague is; for it [is] a fretting leprosy; it is burned with fire.
53 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;
And if the priest sees, and behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin,
54 Then the priest shall command that they wash [the thing] in which the plague [is], and he shall shut it up seven days more:
then the priest has commanded, and they have washed that in which the plague [is], and he has shut it up [for] a second seven days.
55 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.
And the priest has seen [that which has] the plague after it has been washed, and behold, the plague has not changed its aspect, and the plague has not spread—it [is] unclean; you burn it with fire; it [is] a fretting in its back-part or in its front-part.
56 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:
And if the priest has seen, and behold, the plague has faded after it has been washed, then he has torn it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
57 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.
and if it is still seen in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a fretting; you burn it with fire—that in which the plague [is].
58 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.
And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any vessel of skin which you wash when the plague has turned aside from them, then it has been washed a second time, and has been clean.
59 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.
This [is] the law of a plague of leprosy [in] a garment of wool or of linen, or of the warp or of the woof, or of any vessel of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
