And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

When a man has a rising in the skin of his flesh, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it shall become in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought in to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests.

And the priest shall look upon the plague in the skin of the flesh; and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it shall look upon him and shall pronounce him unclean.

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 shall shut up the plague seven days.

And the priest shall look on him on the seventh day, and, behold, if the plague stays in its appearance, and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven more days.

And the priest shall look upon him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague has become dim, and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a scab, and he shall wash his garments andshall be clean.

But if the scab spreads greatly in the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he shall be seen a second time by the priest.

And the priest shall look, and, behold, if the scab has spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.

When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought in to the priest.

And the priest shall look, and, behold, if a white rising is in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and a living flesh is in the swelling,

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.

And if the 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 feet, to all that appears to the priest's eyes,

then the priest shall look, and behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce the plague-spot clean; it has all turned white; he is clean.

And in the day living flesh is seen in him, he is unclean.

And the priest shall look on the living flesh and shall pronounce him unclean; the living flesh is unclean; it is leprosy.

Or when the living flesh turns back and shall be turned to white, then he shall come in to the priest;

and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, the plague has turned to white; the priest shall pronounce the plague-spot clean; he is clean.

And when the flesh has a boil in its skin, and it has been healed,

and a white rising has replaced the boil, or a bright white spot, very red, a reddish white, then it shall be seen by the priest.

And the priest shall look; and, behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the plague of leprosy; it has broken out in a boil.

But if the priest looks at it; and, behold, there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and has become dim, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.

And if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague.

And if in its place the bright spot is stayed, it has not spread; it is an inflamed boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

Or if there is flesh in which the skin has a hot burning, and the raw flesh of the burning becomes a bright white spot, being very red or white;

and the priest shall look on 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 shall pronounce him unclean;it is the plague of leprosy.

But 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 faded, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.

And the priest shall look at him the seventh day. And if it is spread abroad very much in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

And if the bright spot stays in its place, and does not spread in the skin, but is somewhat faded, it is a swelling of the burning; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. for it is a scar of the burning.

And if a man or a woman has in them a plague in the head or in the beard,

then the priest shall look on the plague. And, behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and a thin shining hair in it, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scab, a leprosy on the head or beard.

And when the priest looks on the plague of the scab; and, behold, it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up the plagued one with the scab seven days.

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague. And, behold, if the scab has not spread, and there is no shining hair in it, and the appearance of the scab is not deeper than the skin,

then he shall shave himself, but he shall not shave the scab. And the priest shall shut up the one who has the scab a second seven days.

And the priest shall look on the scab on the seventh day. And, behold, if the scab has not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, then the priest shallpronounce him clean. And he shall wash hisgarments, and shall be clean.

And if the scab has spread further in the skin after his cleansing,

and the priest has looked on him; and, behold, the scab has spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the shining, yellow hair; he is unclean.

But if in his eyes the scab has stabilized, and black hair has sprung up in it, the scab has been healed; he is clean. And the priest shall pronounce him clean.

And when a man or a woman has bright spots, white bright spots, in the skin of their flesh,

and the priest has seen it; and, behold there are pale white spots in the skin of their flesh, it is a pale spot springing up in the skin; he is clean.

And when a man's head grows bald, he is bald, he is clean.

And if his head grows bald from the corner of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald; he is clean.

And if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish white plague, it is a leprosy breaking out in the bald head, or in the bald forehead.

And the priest shall look on him, and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy, in the skin of the flesh,

he is a leprous man; he is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

And the leper who has the plague in him, his garments shall be torn, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall cover the upper lip; and he shall call out, Unclean! Unclean!

And the days that the plague shall be in him, he is unclean; he shall live alone, he is unclean; his dwelling shall be at the outside of the camp.
