1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying 2 The man in whose skin or flesh there will have arisen a diverse color, or a pustule, or something that seems to shine, which is the mark of leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to anyone you wish among his sons 3 And if he sees that leprosy is in his skin, and that the hair has turned a white color, and that the place where the leprosy appears is lower than the rest of the skin and the flesh, then it is the mark of leprosy, and at his judgment he shall be separated 4 But if there will be a shining whiteness in the skin, but it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is of unaffected color, the priest shall seclude him for seven days 5 And on the seventh day he shall examine him, and if the leprosy certainly has not increased further, and has not spread itself in the skin, he shall seclude him again, for another seven days 6 And on the seventh day, he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy has become obscured, and has not increased in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is a scab. And the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean 7 But if the leprosy increases again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him 8 and he shall be condemned of uncleanness 9 If the mark of leprosy has been in a man, he shall be brought to the priest 10 and he shall look upon him. And when there is a white color in the skin, and it has an altered appearance in its hair, and also the same flesh seems alive 11 it shall be judged a chronic leprosy, which has grown into the skin. And so the priest shall declare him contaminated, and he shall not seclude him, because he is clearly unclean 12 But if the leprosy will have flourished, coursing through the skin, and will have covered all the skin from the head even to the feet, whatever falls under the sight of the eyes 13 the priest shall examine him, and he shall judge that the leprosy that he possesses is very clean, because it has all turned to whiteness, and for this reason the man shall be clean 14 Yet truly, when the living flesh shall appear in him 15 then by the judgment of the priest he shall be polluted, and he shall be considered to be among the unclean. For the live flesh, if it is spotted with leprosy, is unclean 16 And if again it will have turned into whiteness, and will have covered the entire man 17 the priest shall examine him, and he shall discern him to be clean 18 But when there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has healed 19 and in the place of the ulcer, there appears a white or reddish scar, the man shall be brought to the priest 20 And when he will have seen the place of the leprosy lower than the rest of the flesh, and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare him contaminated. For the plague of leprosy has arisen from the ulcer 21 But if the hair is of the usual color, and the scar is somewhat obscure and is not lower than the nearby flesh, he shall seclude him for seven days 22 And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy 23 But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean 24 But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar 25 the priest shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar 26 But if the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days 27 and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated 28 But if the whiteness stays in its place and is not very clear, it is the mark of a burn, and for this reason he shall be declared clean, because it is only the scar from a burn 29 If leprosy will have sprung up in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall look upon them 30 and if the place is certainly lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is golden, and thinner than usual, he shall declare them contaminated, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard 31 But if he sees that the place of the spot is equal with the nearby flesh, and that the hair is black, he shall seclude him for seven days 32 and on the seventh day he shall examine it. If the spot has not increased, and the hair has kept its color, and the place of the mark is equal with the rest of the flesh 33 the man shall be shaven, except in the place of the spot, and he shall be secluded for another seven days 34 On the seventh day, if the mark seems to have stayed in its place, and it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, he shall declare him clean, and, his clothes having been washed, he shall be clean 35 But if, after his cleansing, the spot will have increased again in the skin 36 he shall no longer inquire as to whether the hair has turned yellow, because he is plainly unclean 37 Furthermore, if the spot has not increased, and the hair is black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean 38 If a whiteness will have appeared in the skin of a man or a woman 39 the priest shall examine them. If he detects an obscured whiteness shining in the skin, may he know that it is not leprosy, but a white-colored blemish, and that the man is clean 40 The man whose hair falls off of his head is bald and clean 41 And if the hair falls off of his forehead, he is bald in front and clean 42 But if in the bald head or bald forehead there has arisen a white or reddish color 43 and the priest will have seen this, he shall condemn him without doubt of leprosy, which has arisen in the baldness 44 Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest 45 shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy 46 The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp 47 A woolen or linen garment that will have held the leprosy 48 in the main fibers or in any of the threads, or certainly in a skin, or whatever has been made from a skin 49 if it has been infected with a white or red spot, it shall be considered to be leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest 50 And he, having examined it, shall close it up for seven days 51 And on the seventh day, having looked at it again, if he detects an increase, it is a persistent leprosy; he shall judge the garment to be polluted, along with everything with which it has been found 52 And because of this, it shall be burned in flames 53 But if he will have seen that it has not increased 54 he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up for another seven days 55 And when he will have seen that the former appearance has not returned, even if the leprosy has not increased, he shall judge it to be unclean, and he shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has been infused in the exterior of the garment, or throughout the whole 56 But if the place of the leprosy has become somewhat darker, after the garment has been washed, he shall tear it away, and separate it from the part that is sound 57 But if, after this, there will appear in those places which before were immaculate, a flying and wandering leprosy, it must be burned with fire 58 If it will have ceased, he shall wash with water the parts which are pure for a second time, and they shall be clean 59 This is the law about leprosy for any woolen or linen garment, in the weave and in the threads, and for all items made from skins, how it must be declared either clean or contaminated
