1 And the LORD spake unto Moses 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 any thing
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 any thing 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 any thing 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 any thing 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
any thing 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 any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it
unclean.
