The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,

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.

When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:

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.

And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

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.

If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:

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.

And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:

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.

And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

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.

But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:

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.

And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

If someone is suspected of having an infectious skin disease, they must be brought to the priest for examination.

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

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.

And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;

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.

It 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.

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.

And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;

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.

Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.

But when raw flesh appears on them, they will be unclean.

But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.

The priest will examine the raw flesh and declare them unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.

And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.

But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, they must go to the priest again.

Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;

The priest will examine them, and if the area has turned white, the priest shall pronounce the person clean. They are clean.

And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.

When a person has a boil on the skin that heals,

The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,

and it leaves a white swelling or a reddish-white spot, they must show it to the priest.

And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;

The priest will examine it, and if it appears deeper than the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest must declare them unclean. It is a skin disease that has broken out in the boil.

And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in it, and it is not deeper than the skin but appears faded, the priest shall isolate the person for seven days.

But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

If the infection continues to spread on the skin, the priest must declare them unclean. It is a disease.

And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.

But if the bright spot remains unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil. The priest shall pronounce them clean.

But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

If there is a burn on someone's skin and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a reddish-white or pure white bright spot,

Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;

the priest shall examine it. If the hair in the bright spot has turned white and it appears deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must declare them unclean, for it is a disease.

Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

But if the priest examines the bright spot and there is no white hair in it, and it is not deeper than the skin but appears faded, the priest shall isolate the person for seven days.

But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

The priest will examine them on the seventh day. If the infection is spreading on the skin, the priest must declare them unclean; it is a disease.

And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

But if the bright spot remains unchanged, has not spread on the skin, and appears faded, it is only swelling from the burn. The priest shall pronounce them clean, for it is just a scar from the burn.

And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.

If a man or woman has an infection on the head or the beard,

If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;

the priest shall examine the infection. If it appears deeper than the skin and there is thin yellow hair in it, the priest must declare them unclean; it is a scaly infection of the head or beard.

Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.

If the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, the priest will isolate the person for seven days.

And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:

On the seventh day, the priest will examine the infection. If it has not spread, there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear deeper than the skin, the priest shall continue to isolate the person for another seven days.

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;

The person must shave, but they must not shave the infected area. The priest will isolate them for another seven days.

He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:

On the seventh day, the priest will examine the scaly infection. If it has not spread on the skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce the person clean. They must wash their clothes, and they will be clean.

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

However, if the scaly infection spreads on the skin after the person has been declared clean,

But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;

the priest will examine them, and if the infection has spread on the skin, the priest does not need to check for yellow hair; the person is unclean.

Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.

But if it seems to the priest that the scaly infection has remained unchanged, and black hair has grown in it, the infection is healed; the person is clean, and the priest shall declare them clean.

But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

If a man or woman has bright white spots on the skin of their body,

If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

the priest will examine them. If the spots on the skin are dull white, it is a harmless rash; the person is clean.

Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.

If a man loses hair from his head, he is bald, but he is clean.

And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

If he loses hair from the front of his head, he has partial baldness, but he is clean.

And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.

But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald area of the crown or the forehead, it is a spreading skin disease.

And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

The priest will examine him, and if the swelling of the sore is reddish-white on the bald area of the crown or forehead, resembling the appearance of a skin disease on the body,

Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;

the man is diseased and unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean; the infection is on his head.

He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face, and cry out, 'Unclean! Unclean!'.

And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

As long as they have the infection, they are unclean. They must live alone; their dwelling must be outside the camp.

All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

If a piece of clothing has a mark of mildew, whether it is a garment of wool or linen,

The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;

or in the warp or woof of the linen or wool cloth, or in leather, or in any article made of leather,

Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;

and the mark is greenish or reddish in the garment, leather, warp, or woof, or in any leather article, it is a case of spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.

And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:

The priest will examine the mark and isolate the affected item for seven days.

And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:

On the seventh day, he will reexamine it. If the mark has spread in the garment, warp, woof, or leather, whatever the use of the leather, it is a destructive mildew and is unclean.

And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.

The garment, warp, woof, or any leather item that has the mark must be burned, for it is a destructive mildew; the item must be burned in the fire.

He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

But if the priest inspects it and the mark has not spread in the garment, warp, woof, or leather article,

And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;

the priest is to order the affected item to be washed. He is to isolate it for another seven days.

Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:

After it has been washed, the priest will inspect it again. If the mark has not changed its appearance, even though it has not spread, it is unclean. Burn it, whether the affected part is on the inside or outside.

And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.

If, after it has been washed, the priest finds that the mark has faded, he is to tear the affected part out of the garment, leather, warp, or woof.

And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:

But if the mark reappears on the garment, whether in the warp or woof, or in any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the item with fire, whatever has the mark on it.

And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.

If, after being washed, the mark disappears from the garment, warp, woof, or leather article, it must be washed again, and it will be clean.

And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.

This is the law concerning any mark of mildew on a wool or linen garment, whether in the warp or woof, or on any leather article, to determine whether it is clean or unclean.

This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
