Lev 13
1
And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2
When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot,
and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be 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 if the hair
in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the
skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him,
and pronounce him unclean.
4
And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance
be not deeper than the skin, and its hair be not turned white, then the priest
shall shut up [him whom has] the plague seven days:
5
and the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if in his eyes the
plague be at a stay, and the plague be not spread 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 dim, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce
him clean: it is a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
7
But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he has showed himself to the
priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again:
8
and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the
priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.
9
When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
10
and the priest shall look; and, behold, if there be a white rising 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: he shall not shut him up, for he is unclean.
12
And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin
of [him whom has] the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appears to
the priest;
13
then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh,
he shall pronounce [him] clean [that has] the plague: it is all turned white: he is
clean.
14
But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
15
And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh
is unclean: it is leprosy.
16
Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed to white, then he shall come to the
priest;
17
and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the plague be turned into white,
then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that has] the plague: he is clean.
18
And when the flesh has in its skin a boil, and it is healed,
19
and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white,
then is shall be showed to the priest;
20
and the priest shall look; and, behold, if its appearance be lower than the
skin, and its hair be turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is the plague of leprosy, it has broken out in the boil.
21
But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it
be not lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
22
And if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is a plague.
23
But if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the
boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24
Or when the flesh has in its skin a burning by fire, and the quick [flesh]
of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white;
25
then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be
turned white, and its appearance be 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.
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 skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven
days:
27
and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: if it spread 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 its place, and be not spread in the skin, but be dim;
it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it
is the scar of the burning.
29
And when a man or woman has a plague upon the head or upon the beard,
30
then the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if its appearance be
deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
31
And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, its appearance
be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it, then the priest shall
shut up [him whom has] 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
be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall
be not deeper than the skin,
33
then he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut
up [him whom has] 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, and its appearance be not 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 abroad 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 the yellow hair; he is unclean.
37
But if in his eyes the scall be at a stay, and black hair be grown up therein; the
scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38
And when a man or a woman has in the skin of the 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 of a dull white, it is a tetter, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
40
And if a man`s hair be fallen off his head, he is bald; [yet] is he clean.
41
And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald;
[yet] is he clean.
42
But if there be in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it
is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
43
Then the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague be reddish-white
in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy 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 in his head.
45
And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his
head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
46
All the days wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean: he shall
dwell alone; without the camp shall his dwelling 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 warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in
anything made of skin;
49
if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp,
or in the woof, or in anything of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be
showed to the priest.
50
And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up [that which has] 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 the skin, whatever service skin
is used for; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
52
And he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the 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, after that the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague
have not changed its color, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; you shall
burn it in the fire: it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without.
56
And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after its washing,
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 breaking out: you shall burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
58
And the garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it be, which
you shall 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 the woof, or anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce
it unclean.
