Leviticus
13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
13:2 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:
13:3 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.
13:4 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:
13:5 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:
13:6 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.
13:7 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:
13:8 And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then
the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
13:9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto
the priest;
13:10 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;
13:11 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.
13:12 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;
13:13 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.
13:14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
13:15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean:
for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
13:16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come
unto the priest;
13:17 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.
13:18 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is
healed,
13:19 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;
13:20 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.
13:21 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:
13:22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
13:23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a
burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:24 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;
13:25 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.
13:26 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:
13:27 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.
13:28 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.
13:29 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
13:30 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.
13:31 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:
13:32 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;
13:33 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:
13:34 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.
13:35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
13:36 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.
13:37 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.
13:38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots,
even white bright spots;
13:39 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.
13:40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he
clean.
13:41 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.
13:42 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.
13:43 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;
13:44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him
utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
13:45 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.
13:46 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.
13:47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a
woollen garment, or a linen garment;
13:48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in
a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
13:49 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:
13:50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the
plague seven days:
13:51 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.
13:52 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.
13:53 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;
13:54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the
plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
13:55 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.
13:56 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:
13:57 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.
13:58 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.
13:59 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.
