And the LORD spake
unto Moses
and Aaron
, saying
,
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
:
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
.
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
:
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
:
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 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
:
And if the priest see
that, behold, the scab
spreadeth
in the skin
, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean
: it is a leprosy
.
When the plague of leprosy
is in a man
, then he shall be brought
unto the priest
;
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 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
.
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
;
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
appeareth
in him, he shall be unclean
.
And the priest shall see
the raw
flesh
, and pronounce him to be unclean
: for the raw
flesh
is unclean
: it is a leprosy
.
Or if the raw flesh
turn again
, and be changed
unto white
, he shall come
unto the priest
;
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
.
The flesh also, in which
, even in the skin
thereof, was a boil
, and is healed
,
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
;
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 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
:
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 stay
in his place, and spread
not, it is a burning
boil
; and the priest
shall pronounce him clean
.
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
;
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 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
:
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
.
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
have a plague
upon the head
or the 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
.
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
:
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
;
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
:
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
.
But if the scall spread
much
in the skin
after
his cleansing
;
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 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 also or a woman
have in the skin
of their flesh
bright spots
, even white
bright spots
;
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
.
And the man whose hair is fallen
off his head
, he is bald
; yet is he 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
.
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
.
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
;
He is a leprous man
, he is unclean
: the priest
shall pronounce him utterly
unclean
; his plague
is in his head
.
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
.
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 .
The garment also that the plague
of leprosy
is in, whether it be a woollen
garment
, or a linen
garment
;
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 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
:
And the priest shall look
upon the plague
, and shut
up it that hath the plague
seven
days
:
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
.
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
.
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
;
Then the priest shall command
that they wash
the thing wherein the plague
is , and he shall shut
it up seven
days
more
:
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
.
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
:
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
.
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 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
.
