Leviticus 13:1-14
The Test for Leprosy
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2“When someone has on the skin of his ▼▼Lit flesh
body a swelling, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes an infection of ▼▼I.e., or a serious, unspecified disease, and so throughout the ch
leprosy on the skin of his ▼▼Lit flesh
body, dthen he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 3The priest shall look at the infected area on the skin of the ▼▼Lit flesh
body, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his ▼▼Lit flesh
body, it is an infection of leprosy; when the priest has looked at him, he shall pronounce him unclean. 4But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his ▼▼Lit flesh
body, and ▼▼Lit the appearance of it is not deeper
it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has not turned white, then the priest shall ▼▼Lit separate
isolate the person who has the infection for seven days. 5Then the priest shall look at him on the seventh day, and if in his eyes the infection has ▼▼Lit stood
not changed and the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall ▼▼Lit separate
isolate him for seven more days. 6The priest shall then look at him again on the seventh day, and if the infected area has faded and the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a rash. And he shall lwash his clothes and be clean. 7 “But if the rash spreads farther on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall appear again to the priest. 8And the priest shall look, and if the rash has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.
9 “When the infection of leprosy is on someone, then he shall be brought to the priest. 10The priest shall then look, and if there is a mwhite swelling on the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is new raw flesh in the swelling, 11it is ▼
▼Lit aging
a chronic leprosy on the skin of his ▼▼Lit flesh
body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not ▼▼Lit separate
isolate him, for he is unclean. 12If the leprosy breaks out farther on the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the person who has the infection from his head even to his feet, ▼▼Lit to the entire sight of the priest’s eyes
as far as the priest can see, 13then the priest shall look, and behold, if the leprosy has covered his entire ▼▼Lit flesh
body, he shall pronounce the one who has the infection clean; it has all turned white and he is clean. 14But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean.
