131 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron , saying , 2 "When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling or a scab or a bright spot , and it becomes an infection of leprosy on the skin of his body , then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests . 3 "The priest shall look at the mark on the skin of the body , and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body , it is an infection of leprosy ; when the priest has looked at him, he shall pronounce him unclean . 4 "But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body , and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin , and the hair on it has not turned white , then the priest shall isolate him who has the infection for seven days . 5 "The priest shall look at him on the seventh day , and if in his eyes the infection has not changed and the infection has not spread on the skin , then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days . 6 "The priest shall look at him again on the seventh day , and if the infection has faded and the mark has not spread on the skin , then the priest shall pronounce him clean ; it is only a scab . And he shall wash his clothes and be clean . 7 "But if the scab spreads farther on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing , he shall appear again to the priest . 8 "The priest shall look , and if the scab has spread on the skin , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean ; it is leprosy . 9 "When the infection of leprosy is on a man , then he shall be brought to the priest . 10 "The priest shall then look , and if there is a white swelling in the skin , and it has turned the hair white , and there is quick raw flesh in the swelling , 11 it is a chronic leprosy on the skin of his body , and the priest shall pronounce him unclean ; he shall not isolate him, for he is unclean . 12 "If the leprosy breaks out farther on the skin , and the leprosy covers all the skin of him who has the infection from his head even to his feet , as far as the priest can see e , 13 then the priest shall look , and behold , if the leprosy has covered all his body , he shall pronounce clean him who has the infection ; it has all turned white and he is clean . 14 "But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean . 15 "The priest shall look at the raw flesh , and he shall pronounce him unclean ; the raw flesh is unclean , it is leprosy . 16 "Or if the raw flesh turns again and is changed to white , then he shall come to the priest , 17 and the priest shall look at him, and behold , if the infection has turned to white , then the priest shall pronounce clean him who has the infection ; he is clean .
18 "When the body has a boil on its skin and it is healed , 19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a reddish-white , bright spot , then it shall be shown to the priest ; 20 and the priest shall look , and behold , if it appears to be lower than the skin , and the hair on it has turned white , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean ; it is the infection of leprosy , it has broken out in the boil . 21 "But if the priest looks at it, and behold , there are no white hairs in it and it is not lower than the skin and is faded , then the priest shall isolate him for seven days ; 22 and if it spreads farther on the skin , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean ; it is an infection . 23 "But if the bright spot remains in its place and does not spread , it is only the scar of the boil ; and the priest shall pronounce him clean . 24 "Or if the body sustains in its skin a burn by fire , and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot , reddish-white , or white , 25 then the priest shall look at it. And if the hair in the bright spot has turned white and it appears to be deeper than the skin , it is leprosy ; it has broken out in the burn . Therefore, the priest shall pronounce him unclean ; it is an infection of leprosy . 26 "But if the priest looks at it, and indeed , there is no white hair in the bright spot and it is no deeper than the skin , but is dim , then the priest shall isolate him for seven days ; 27 and the priest shall look at him on the seventh day . If it spreads farther in the skin , then the priest shall pronounce him unclean ; it is an infection of leprosy . 28 "But if the bright spot remains in its place and has not spread in the skin , but is dim , it is the swelling from the burn ; and the priest shall pronounce him clean , for it is only the scar of the burn . 29 "Now if a man or woman has an infection on the head or on the beard , 30 then the priest shall look at the infection , and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and there is thin yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean ; it is a scale , it is leprosy of the head or of the beard . 31 "But if the priest looks at the infection of the scale , and indeed , it appears to be no deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person with the scaly infection for seven days . 32 "On the seventh day the priest shall look at the infection , and if the scale has not spread and no yellowish hair has grown in it, and the appearance of the scale is no deeper than the skin , 33 then he shall shave himself, but he shall not shave the scale ; and the priest shall isolate the person with the scale seven more days . 34 "Then on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scale , and if the scale has not spread in the skin and it appears to be no deeper than the skin , the priest shall pronounce him clean ; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean . 35 "But if the scale spreads farther in the skin after his cleansing , 36 then the priest shall look at him, and if the scale has spread in the skin , the priest need not seek for the yellowish hair ; he is unclean . 37 "If in his sight the scale has remained , however, and black hair has grown in it, the scale has healed , he is clean ; and the priest shall pronounce him clean .
38 "When a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of the body , even white bright spots , 39 then the priest shall look , and if the bright spots on the skin of their bodies are a faint white , it is eczema that has broken out on the skin ; he is clean . 40 "Now if a man loses the hair of his head , he is bald ; he is clean . 41 "If his head becomes bald at the front and sides , he is bald on the forehead ; he is clean . 42 "But if on the bald head or the bald forehead , there occurs a reddish-white infection , it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or on his bald forehead . 43 "Then the priest shall look at him; and if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead , like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body , 44 he is a leprous man , he is unclean . The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean ; his infection is on his head . 45 "As for the leper who has the infection , his clothes shall be torn , and the hair of his head shall be uncovered , and he shall cover his mustache and cry , ' Unclean ! Unclean !' 46 "He shall remain unclean all the days during which he has the infection ; he is unclean . He shall live alone ; his dwelling shall be outside e the camp .
47 "When a garment has a mark of leprosy in it, whether it is a wool garment or a linen garment , 48 whether in warp or woof , of linen or of wool , whether in leather or in any article made of leather , 49 if the mark is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather , or in the warp or in the woof , or in any article of leather , it is a leprous mark and shall be shown to the priest . 50 "Then the priest shall look at the mark and shall quarantine the article with the mark for seven days . 51 "He shall then look at the mark on the seventh day ; if the mark has spread in the garment , whether in the warp or in the woof , or in the leather , whatever the purpose for which the leather is used , the mark is a leprous malignancy , it is unclean . 52 "So he shall burn the garment , whether the warp or the woof , in wool or in linen , or any article of leather in which the mark occurs , for it is a leprous malignancy ; it shall be burned in the fire . 53 "But if the priest shall look , and indeed the mark has not spread in the garment , either in the warp or in the woof , or in any article of leather , 54 then the priest shall order them to wash the thing in which the mark occurs and he shall quarantine it for seven more days . 55 "After the article with the mark has been washed , the priest shall again look , and if the mark has not changed its appearance , even though the mark has not spread , it is unclean ; you shall burn it in the fire , whether an eating away has produced bareness e on the top or on the front of it. 56 "Then if the priest looks , and if the mark has faded after it has been washed , then he shall tear it out of the garment or out of the leather , whether from the warp or from the woof ; 57 and if it appears again in the garment , whether in the warp or in the woof , or in any article of leather , it is an outbreak ; the article with the mark shall be burned in the fire . 58 "The garment , whether the warp or the woof , or any article of leather from which the mark has departed when you washed it, it shall then be washed a second time and will be clean ." 59 This is the law for the mark of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen , whether in the warp or in the woof , or in any article of leather , for pronouncing it clean or unclean .
