Leviticus Chapter 13

Leviticus Chapter 13
1 Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses,
and to Aaron, saying,
2 The man that shall have in the skin of
his flesh a swelling or a scab, or a white
spot, so that in the skin of his flesh it be
like the plague of leprosy, then he shall
be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto
one of his sons the priests, 3 And the
priest shall look on the sore in the skin
of his flesh: if the hair in the sore be
turned into white, and the sore seem to
be lower than the skin of his flesh, it is a
plague of leprosy. Therefore the priest
shall look on him, and pronounce him
unclean:
4 But if the white spot be in the skin of
his flesh, and seem not to be lower than
the skin, nor the hair thereof be turned
unto white, then the priest shall shut up
him that hath the plague, seven days.
5 After, the priest shall look upon him
the seventh day: and if the plague seem
to him to abide still, and the plague grow
not in the skin, the priest shall shut him
up yet seven days more.
6 Then the priest shall look on him again
the seventh day, and if the plague be
dark, and the sore grow not in the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him
clean, for it is a scab: therefore he shall
wash his clothes and be clean. 7 But if
the scab grows more in the skin, after
that he is seen of the priest for to be
purged, he shall be seen of the priest yet
again.
8 Then the priest shall consider, and if
the scab grows in the skin, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: for it is
leprosy. 9 When the plague of leprosy is
in a man, he shall be brought unto the
priest, 10 And the priest shall see him:
and if the swelling be white in the skin,
and have made the hair white, and there
be raw flesh in the swelling, 11 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.
12 Also if the leprosy break out in the
skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin
of the plague, from his head even to his
feet, where so ever the priest looketh, 13
Then the priest shall consider: and if the
leprosy cover all his flesh, he shall
pronounce the plague to be clean,
because it is all turned into whiteness:
so he shall be clean.
14 But if there be raw flesh on him
when he is seen, he shall be unclean. 15
For the priest shall see the raw flesh,
and declare him to be unclean: for the
raw flesh is unclean, therefore it is the
leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh change
and be turned into white, then he shall
come to the priest,
17 And the priest shall behold him: and
if the sore be changed into white, then
the priest shall pronounce the plague
clean , for it is clean. 18 The flesh also
in whose skin there is a bile and is
healed,
19 And in the place of the bile there be a
white swelling, or a white spot
somewhat reddish, it shall be seen of the
priest.
20 And when the priest seeth it, if it
appear lower than the skin, and the hair
thereof be changed into white, the priest
then shall pronounce him unclean: for it
is a plague of leprosy, broken out in the
bile. 21 But if the priest look on it, and
there be no white hairs therein, and if it
be not lower than the skin, but be darker,
then the priest shall shut him up seven
days.
22 And if it spread abroad in the flesh,
the priest shall pronounce him unclean,
for it is a sore.
23 But if the spot continue in his place,
and grow not, it is a burning bile:
therefore the priest shall declare him to
be clean.
24 If there be any flesh, in whose skin
there is an hot burning, and the quick
flesh of the burning have a white spot,
somewhat reddish or pale, 25 Then the
priest shall look upon it: and if the hair
in that spot be changed into white, and it
appear lower than the skin, it is a
leprosy broken out in the burning:
therefore the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: for it is the plague of leprosy.
26 But if the priest look on it, and there
be no white hair in the spot, and be no
lower than the other skin, but be darker,
then the priest shall shut him up seven
days.
27 After, the priest shall look on him the
seventh day: if it be grown abroad in the
skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: for it is the plague of leprosy.
28 And if the spot abide in his place, not
growing in the skin, but is dark, it is a
rising of the burning: the priest shall
therefore declare him clean, for it is the
drying up of the burning.
29 If also a man or woman hath a sore
on the head or in the beard, 30 Then the
priest shall see the sore: and if it appear
lower than the skin, and there be in it a
small yellow hair, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: for it is a black
spot, and leprosy of the head or of the
beard. 31 And if the priest look on the
sore of the black spot, and if it seem not
lower than the skin nor have any black
hair in it, then the priest shall shut up
him, that hath the sore of the black spot,
seven days. 32 After, in the seventh day
the priest shall look on the sore: and if
the black spot grow not, and there be in
it no yellow hair, and the black spot
seem not lower than the skin,
33 Then he shall be shaven, but the
place of the black spot shall he not
shave: but the priest shall shut up him,
that hath the black spot, seven days
more.
34 And the seventh day the priest shall
look on the black spot: and if the black
spot grow not in the skin, nor seem
lower than the other skin, then the priest
shall cleanse him, and he shall wash his
clothes, and be clean. 35 But if the black
spot grow abroad in the flesh after his
cleansing, 36 Then the priest shall look
on it: and if the black spot grow in the
skin, the priest shall not seek for the
yellow hair: for he is unclean. 37 But if
the black spot seem to him to abide, and
that black hair grow therein, the black
spot is healed, he is clean, and the priest
shall declare him to be clean.
38 Furthermore if there be many white
spots in the skin of the flesh of man or
woman,
39 Then the priest shall consider: and if
the spots in the skin of their flesh be
somewhat dark and white withal, it is
but a white spot broken out in the skin:
therefore he is clean.
40 And the man whose hair is fallen off
his head, and is bald, is clean. 41 And if
his head lose the hair on the forepart,
and be bald before, he is clean.
42 But if there be in the bald head, or in
the bald forehead a white reddish sore,
it is a leprosy springing in his bald head,
or in his bald forehead. 43 Therefore the
priest shall look upon it, and if the rising
of the sore be white reddish in his bald
head, or in his bald forehead, appearing
like leprosy in the skin of the flesh,
44 He is a leper and unclean: therefore
the priest shall pronounce him altogether
unclean: for the sore is in his head.
45 The leper also in whom the plague is,
shall have his clothes rent, and his head
bare, and shall put a covering upon his
lips, and shall cry, I am unclean, I am
unclean.
46 As long as the disease shall be upon
him, he shall be polluted, for he is
unclean: he shall dwell alone, without
the camp shall his habitation be. 47 Also
the garment that the plague of leprosy is
in, whether it be a woolen garment or a
linen garment,
48 Whether it be in the warp or in the
woof of linen or of woolen, either in a
skin, or in anything made of skin,
49 And if the sore be green or somewhat
reddish in the garment or in the skin, or
in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything that is made of skin, it is a
plague of leprosy and shall be showed
unto the priest.
50 Then the priest shall see the plague,
and shut up it that hath the plague, seven
days,
51 And shall look on the plague the
seventh day: if the plague grow in the
garment or in the warp, or in the woof,
or in the skin, or in anything that is made
of skin, that plague is a fretting leprosy
and unclean. 52 And he shall burn the
garment, or the warp, or the woof,
whether it be woolen or linen, or
anything that is made of skin, wherein
the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy ,
therefore it shall be burnt in the fire. 53
If the priest yet see that the plague grow
not in the garment, or in the woof, or in
whatsoever thing of skin it be,
54 Then the priest shall command them
to wash the thing wherein the plague is,
and he shall shut it up seven days more.
55 Again the priest shall look on the
plague, after it is washed: and if the
plague have not changed his color,
though the plague spread no further, it is
unclean: thou shalt burn it in the fire, for
it is a fret inward, whether the spot be in
the bare place of the whole, or in part
thereof.
56 And if the priest see that the plague
be darker, after that it is washed, he
shall cut it out of the garment, or out of
the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the
woof.
57 And if it appear still in the garment or
in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything made of skin, it is a spreading
leprosy: thou shalt burn the thing
wherein the plague is, in the fire.
58 If thou hast washed the garment or the
warp, or the woof, or whatsoever thing
of skin it be, if the plague be departed
there from, then shall it be washed the
second time, and be clean.
59 This is the law of the plague of
leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen,
or in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything of skin, to make it clean or
unclean.
