  • Lev 13:1-9 : 1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 If someone has a swelling, scab, or bright spot on the skin of their body, and it appears to be a skin disease, they must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests. 3 The priest will examine the infected area on the skin of the body. If the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After examining the person, the priest will declare them unclean. 4 But if the bright spot on the skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair has not turned white, the priest will isolate the person for seven days. 5 The priest will re-examine them on the seventh day. If the infection remains unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest will isolate them for another seven days. 6 On the seventh day, the priest will examine them again. If the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest will declare the person clean; it is only a rash. The person must wash their clothes and they will be clean. 7 But if the rash spreads on the skin after they have been examined by the priest and declared clean, they must appear before the priest again. 8 The priest will examine them, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce them unclean; it is a skin disease. 9 If someone is suspected of having an infectious skin disease, they must be brought to the priest for examination. 10 The priest will examine the person, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white and there is raw flesh in the swelling, it is a serious skin disease. 11 It is a chronic skin condition on the skin of their body, and the priest must declare them unclean. The priest does not need to isolate them, for they are already unclean. 12 If the skin disease spreads and covers all the skin from head to toe, as far as the priest can see, then the priest shall examine the person. 13 The priest will look, and if the disease has covered the entire body, turning all the skin white, the priest shall pronounce them clean. If it has turned white, they are clean. 14 But when raw flesh appears on them, they will be unclean.

We acted foolishly and sinned. 12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb with its flesh half eaten away.' 13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, 'O God, please heal her!' 14 The LORD replied to Moses, 'If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that, she can be brought back.' 15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought back.

  • 2 Kgs 5:5-9 : 5 The king of Aram said, 'Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.' So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothes. 6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read: 'Now, when this letter reaches you, know that I have sent you my servant Naaman, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.' 7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, 'Am I God, able to kill and bring to life, that this man sends someone to me to cure him of his leprosy? See for yourselves that he is seeking a quarrel with me!' 8 When Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent the king this message: 'Why have you torn your clothes? Let Naaman come to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.' 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, 'Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored, and you will be cleansed.' 11 But Naaman became angry and left, saying, 'I thought he would surely come out to me, stand, call on the name of the LORD his God, wave his hand over the spot, and cure the leprosy.' 12 'Are not the Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be cleansed?' So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 But his servants approached him and said, 'My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he says to you, “Wash and be cleansed”? ' 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. His flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy. 15 Then Naaman and all his entourage returned to the man of God. They stood before him, and Naaman said, 'Now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. Please accept a gift from your servant.' 16 But Elisha replied, 'As surely as the LORD lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.' Even though Naaman urged him, he refused. 17 Then Naaman said, 'If you will not, please let your servant be given as much soil as two mules can carry, because from now on your servant will not offer any burnt offering or sacrifice to any other gods but to the LORD.' 18 But may the LORD forgive your servant in this one matter: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down, and he is leaning on my arm and I bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD forgive your servant for this.' 19 'Go in peace,' Elisha said. So Naaman departed and traveled some distance. 20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said to himself, 'Look, my master has let this Aramean, Naaman, go without accepting what he brought. As surely as the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him.' 21 So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from his chariot to meet him and asked, 'Is everything all right?' 22 Gehazi replied, 'Everything is all right. My master has sent me to say, “Two young men from the company of the prophets in the hill country of Ephraim have just come to me. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothes.”' 23 Naaman said, 'Please take two talents.' He urged Gehazi, tied up two talents of silver in two bags, along with two sets of clothes, and gave them to his two servants, who carried them ahead of Gehazi. 24 When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the gifts from the servants and stored them inside the house. Then he sent the men away, and they left. 25 When Gehazi went inside and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, 'Where have you been, Gehazi?' He answered, 'Your servant didn’t go anywhere.' 26 But Elisha said to him, 'Was my spirit not with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money or accept clothes, olive groves, vineyards, sheep, cattle, male servants, and female servants?' 27 Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever.' Then Gehazi went out from Elisha's presence, leprous, as white as snow.
