Leviticus:13:1-59
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron ,
saying ,
*
If a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling ,
a rising ,
or a bright spot ,
and it might become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy :
then shall he be brought unto Aaron the priest ,
or unto one of his sons the priests .
*
And if the priest shall see the plague in the skin of the flesh ,
and the hair in the plague be turned white ,
and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh :
it is a plague of leprosy ;
and the priest shall see him ,
he shall pronounce him unclean .
*
But if it be a white bright spot in the skin of his flesh ,
and its appearance be not deeper than the skin ,
and the hair be not turned white :
then shall the priest shut up the plague seven days .
*
And the priest shall see him on the seventh day ;
and ,
behold ,
if the plague have remained unchanged in its appearance ,
the plague have not spread in the skin :
then shall the priest shut him up seven days more .
*
And the priest shall see him again on the seventh day ;
and ,
behold ,
if the plague be somewhat pale ,
and the plague have not spread in the skin :
then shall the priest pronounce him clean ;
it is a rising ,
and he shall wash his clothes ,
and be clean .
*
But if the rising should spread abroad in the skin ,
after he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing ,
he shall be seen again by the priest .
*
And if the priest see that ,
behold ,
the rising have spread abroad in the skin ,
then shall the priest pronounce him unclean :
it is leprosy .
*
If the plague of leprosy happen to be on a man ,
then shall he be brought unto the priest ;
*
And the priest shall see ,
and ,
behold ,
if there be a white swelling in the skin ,
and the hair in it have turned white ,
or there be a trace of healthy flesh in the swelling :
*
It is an inveterate 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 break out abroad in the skin ,
and the leprosy cover all the skin of the plague from his head even to the feet ,
so far as the eyes of the priest can see :
*
If now the priest should see ,
that ,
behold ,
the leprosy have covered all his flesh ,
he shall pronounce the plague clean ;
it is all turned white ,
he is clean .
*
But on the day that healthy flesh appeareth therein ,
he shall be unclean .
*
And the priest shall see the healthy flesh ,
and pronounce him to be unclean ;
the healthy flesh is unclean ,
it is the leprosy .
*
Or if the healthy flesh turn again ,
and be changed unto white ,
he shall come unto the priest ;
*
And if the priest see him ,
and ,
behold ,
the plague be turned into white :
then shall the priest pronounce the plague clean ,
he is clean .
*
And if there be a person who hath had in his skin an inflammation ,
and hath been healed ,
*
And if there be on the place of the inflammation a white swelling ,
or a white and dark red bright spot ,
he shall be shown to the priest ;
*
And if the priest see ,
and ,
behold ,
its appearance be lower than the skin ,
and the hair thereof have been turned white :
then shall the priest pronounce him unclean ,
it is the plague of leprosy broken out in the inflammation .
*
But if the priest see it ,
and ,
behold ,
there be no white hair therein ,
and if it be not lower than the skin ,
and it be pale :
then shall the priest shut him up seven days .
*
And if it now spread abroad in the skin ,
then shall the priest pronounce him unclean :
it is the plague .
*
But if the bright spot remain in its place ,
and spread not ,
it is a scar of the inflammation ;
and the priest shall pronounce him clean .
*
Or if there be a person in whose skin there is a place burnt by fire ,
and the mark of the burning become a bright spot ,
white and dark red ,
or white ;
*
And if the priest see it ,
and ,
behold ,
the hair in the bright spot have been turned white ,
and its appearance be deeper than the skin :
it is leprosy ,
broken out in the fire –
wound ;
and the priest shall pronounce him unclean ,
it is the plague of leprosy .
*
But if the priest see it ,
and ,
behold ,
there be in the bright spot no white hair ,
and it be not lower than the skin ,
and it be pale :
then shall the priest shut him up seven days .
*
And the priest shall see him on the seventh day :
if now it have spread abroad in the skin ,
then shall the priest pronounce him unclean :
it is the plague of leprosy .
*
And if the bright spot remain in its place ,
it have not spread abroad in the skin ,
and it be pale :
it is a swelling of the fire –
wound ;
and the priest shall pronounce him clean ;
for it is a scar of the fire –
wound .
*
And if there be a man or woman on whom there arise a plague ,
on the head or on the beard ;
*
Then shall the priest see the plague ;
and ,
behold ,
if its appearance be deeper than the skin ,
and there be in it a yellow thin hair :
then shall the priest pronounce him unclean ,
it is a dry scall ,
it is the leprosy of the head or of the beard .
*
And if the priest see the plague of the scall ,
and ,
behold ,
its appearance be not deeper than the skin ,
and there be no black hair in it :
then shall the priest shut up the plague of the scall seven days .
*
And the priest shall see the plague on the seventh day ;
and ,
behold ,
if the scall have not spread ,
and there be in it no yellow hair ,
and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin :
*
Then shall he be shaved ,
but the scall he shall not shave ;
and the priest shall shut up the scall seven days more .
*
And the priest shall see the scall on the seventh day ;
and ,
behold ,
if the scall have not spread in the skin ,
and its appearance be not deeper than the skin :
then shall the priest pronounce him clean ,
and he shall wash his clothes ,
and be clean .
*
But if the scall should spread abroad in the skin after his being pronounced clean :
*
Then shall the priest see him ;
and ,
behold ,
if the scall have spread in the skin ,
the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair ;
he is unclean .
*
But if the scall have remained stationary in its color ,
and black hair have grown up therein :
the scall is then healed ,
he is clean ;
and the priest shall pronounce him clean .
*
And if there be a man or a woman having in the skin of their flesh bright spots ,
white bright spots ;
*
And if the priest do see ,
and ,
behold ,
there are in the skin of their flesh bright spots ,
pale and white :
it is a freckly eruption grown in the skin ;
he is clean .
*
And if there be a man whose hair of the head fall off ,
he is a bald head ;
he is clean .
*
And if from the side of his face his hair fall off ,
he is forehead –
bald ;
he is clean .
*
But if there be on the bald head ,
or the bald forehead ,
an eruption ,
white and dark red :
it is the leprosy sprung up on his bald head ,
or his bald forehead .
*
And the priest shall see him ;
and ,
behold ,
if the swelling of the eruption be white and dark red on his bald head ,
or on his bald forehead ,
like the appearance of the leprosy on the skin of the flesh :
*
He is a leprous man ,
he is unclean ;
the priest shall pronounce him unclean ;
his plague is on his head .
*
And the leper on whom the plague is ,
his clothes shall be rent ,
and his head shall be bare ,
and he shall cover himself up to his upper lip ,
and ,
Unclean ,
unclean ,
shall he call out .
*
All the days whereon the plague which rendereth unclean is on him ,
he shall be unclean ;
alone shall he dwell ;
without the camp shall his habitation be .
*
And if there be a garment on which there arise a plague of leprosy ,
whether it be on a woollen garment ,
or on a linen garment ;
*
Whether it be on the warp ,
or on the woof ;
of linen ,
or of woollen ;
whether on a skin ,
or on any thing made of skin ;
*
And the plague be dark green or dark red ,
on the garment ,
or on the skin ,
or on the warp ,
or on the woof ,
or on any article made of skin :
it is the plague of leprosy ;
and it shall be shown unto the priest .
*
And the priest shall see the plague ,
and shut up the plague seven days .
*
And if he see the plague on the seventh day ,
that the plague have spread in the garment ,
either in the warp ,
or in the woof ,
or in the skin ,
or in any article that is made of skin :
the plague is a corroding leprosy ;
it is unclean .
*
And he shall then burn that garment ,
whether warp or woof ,
in woollen or in linen ,
or any article of skin ,
whereon the plague is ;
for it is a corroding leprosy ,
in fire shall it be burnt .
*
And if the priest shall see ,
and ,
behold ,
the plague have not spread on the garment ,
either on the warp ,
or on the woof ,
or on any article of skin :
*
Then shall the priest command that they wash the thing whereon the plague is ,
and he shall shut it up seven days more .
*
And if the priest see ,
after the plague hath been washed ,
and ,
behold ,
the plague have not changed its color ,
and the plague have not spread :
it is unclean ,
in fire shalt thou burn it ;
it is a decay on its inside or on its outside .
*
And if the priest see ,
and ,
behold ,
the plague have become pale after its having been washed :
then shall he tear it out from the garment ,
or from the skin ,
or from the warp ,
or from the woof .
*
And if it appear again on the garment ,
either on the warp ,
or on the woof ,
or on any instrument of skin :
it is a growing plague ;
with fire shalt thou burn that whereon the plague is .
*
And the garment ,
either the warp or the woof ,
or every instrument of skin ,
which thou shalt wash ,
and the plague depart therefrom ,
shall be washed the second time ,
when it shall be clean .
*
This is the law of the plague of leprosy on a garment of woollen or linen ,
either in the warp ,
or the woof ,
or any article of skin ,
to pronounce it clean ,
or unclean .
