1And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2"When a man has a swelling on the skin of his flesh, or a scab or bright spot, and it is on 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. 3And the priest shall look on the plague on the skin of the flesh. And if the hair in the plague has 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 shall pronounce him unclean. 4And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight is not deeper than the skin, and the hair of it has not turned white, then the priest shall shut up the one who has the plague seven days. 5And the priest shall look on him the seventh day. And behold, if the plague in his sight is stayed, the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more. 6And the priest shall look on him again in the seventh day. And, behold, if the plague is somewhat dark, the plague has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. And he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

7But if the scab spreads greatly in the skin after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again. 8And if the priest sees that, behold, the scab spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprosy.

9When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest. 10And the priest shall look. And, behold, if the rising is white in the skin, and it has turned the hair white and there is live raw flesh in the rising, 11It 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. 12And if a leprosy breaks out greatly on the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the one who has the plague from his head even to his foot, to all that appears to the eyes of the priest, 13Then the priest shall look. And behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce the plagued one clean. It has all turned white. He is clean. 14But when raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. 15And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a leprosy. 16Or if the raw flesh turns again and is changed to white, he shall come to the priest. 17And the priest shall look on him. And, behold, the plague has turned to white, then the priest shall pronounce the plagued one clean. He is clean.

18And when the flesh has a boil in his skin, and it has healed, 19And in the place of the boil there is a white rising or a bright spot, a reddish white, it shall be shown to the priest; 20And if the priest sees it, and behold, it is in sight lower than the skin, and the hair of it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague of leprosy broken out in a boil. 21But if the priest looks on it, and, behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it is not lower than the skin, but has become dark, then the priest shall shut him up seven days. 22And if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague. 23But if the bright spot stays in its place, not spreading, it is a burning boil. And the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24Or if there is flesh in which the skin has a hot burning, and the raw flesh of the burning becomes a white bright spot, reddish or white, 25Then the priest shall look on it. And behold, the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and it is in sight deeper than the skin, it is leprosy broken out of the burning. Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 26But if the priest looks 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. 27And the priest shall look on him the seventh day. If it spreads farther in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 28And if the bright spot stays in its place, and does not spread in the skin, but is somewhat faded, it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is a scar of the burning.

29If a man or woman has in them a plague on the head or the beard, 30Then the priest shall see the plague. And behold, if it is in sight deeper than the skin, and a yellow thin hair is in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a dry scab, a leprosy on the head or beard. 31And if the priest looks on the plague of the scab, and behold, it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and no black hair is in it, then the priest shall shut up the plagued one with the scab seven days. 32And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague. And behold, if the scab does not spread, and no yellow hair is in it, and the scab is not in sight deeper than the skin, 33He shall be shaven, but shall not shave the scab. And the priest shall shut up the one who has the scab seven days more. 34And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scab. And behold, if the scab has 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. 35But if the scab spreads very much in the skin after his cleansing, 36Then the priest shall look on him, and behold, if the scab is spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for shining yellow hair. He is unclean. 37But if in his eyes the scab is stabilized, and black hair is growing up in it, the scab is healed. He is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38Also if a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of their flesh, white bright spots, 39Then the priest shall look. And behold, if pale white bright spots are in the skin of their flesh, it is a pale spot springing up in the skin. He is clean.

40And when a man's head grows bald, he is bald. He is clean. 41And if his head grows bald from the edge of his face, he is forehead bald. He is clean. 42And if there is in the bald head, or bald forehead, a reddish white sore, it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head or his bald forehead. 43And the priest shall look on it. And behold, if the rising of the sore is reddish white on his bald head, or on his bald forehead, as the leprosy appears on the skin of the flesh, 44He is a man with leprosy. He is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean. His plague is on his head.

45And as for the leper on whom the plague is, his clothes shall be torn, and his head shall be bare, and he shall put a covering on his upper lip, and shall cry, 'Unclean! Unclean!' 46All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be defiled. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp.

47And if there is any garment that has the plague of leprosy mold in it, in a wool garment or a linen garment, 48Or in the spun yarn or in the woven piece of linen or of wool, or in the hide or in anything of leather, 49And if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in an article of leather, either in the spun yarn or in the woven cloth, or in anything of leather, it is a plague of mold leprosy. And it shall be shown to the priest. 50And the priest shall look on the plague, and shut up that which has the plague seven days. 51And he shall look on the mold plague on the seventh day. If the plague is spread in the garment, either in the spun yarn or in the woven cloth, or in any leather or in any work that is made of leather, the plague is a fretting mold leprosy. It is unclean. 52And he shall burn that garment, whether spun yarn or woven cloth, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather in which the plague is, for it is an acute mold leprosy. It shall be burned in the fire.

53And if the priest shall look, and behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, either in the spun yarn or the woven cloth, or anything of a tanned leather, 54Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is. And he shall shut it up seven days more. 55And the priest shall look on the plague after it is washed, and behold, if the plague has not changed its color and the plague has not spread, it is contaminated, whether the spot is on the inside or outside.

56And if the priest looks, and behold, the plague is somewhat dark after the washing of it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the tanned leather, or out of the spun yarn, or out of the woven cloth. 57And if it appears still in the garment, or in the spun yarn or in the woven cloth, or in anything of a tanned leather, it is a spreading plague. You shall burn it with fire, for the plague is in it. 58And the garment which you shall wash, either spun yarn or woven cloth, or whatever thing of a tanned leather it is, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed a second time, and it shall be clean.

59This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the spun yarn or woven cloth or anything of tanned leather, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean."
