Leviticus 13

CHAPTER 13

Laws Regarding Skin Infections

1And the lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2[³man ¹If ²any] should have in the skin of his flesh a discoloration [²spot ¹radiant], and [³takes place ⁴in ⁵the skin ⁶of his flesh ¹an infection ²of leprosy], he shall be led to Aaron the priest, or one   of his sons of the priests. 3And [³shall look at ¹the ²priest] the infection in the skin   of his flesh, and if the  hair in the infection should turn white, and the appearance of the infection be deep under the skin   of his flesh, [²an infection ³of leprosy ¹it is]; and [³shall look ¹the ²priest], and shall declare him defiled. 4And if the radiant spot  should be white in the skin   of his flesh, and [³deep ²should not be   ¹its appearance] below the skin, and   its hair did not turn white, but it is faint, then [³shall separate ¹the ²priest] the infection for seven days; 5and [³shall look at ¹the ²priest] the infection on the [²day   ¹seventh]; and behold, if the infection abides before him, and  [³did not ⁴degenerate ¹if the ²infection] in the skin, then [³shall separate ⁴him ¹the ²priest] seven days the second time. 6And [³shall look at ¹the ²priest] him on the [²day   ¹seventh] the second time. And behold, [³is faint ¹if the ²infection], [³did not ⁴degenerate ¹and the ²infection] in the skin, then [³will cleanse ⁴him ¹the ²priest] -- [³a spot ¹for ²it is]. And washing   his garments he will be clean. 7But if in turning, [³degenerates ¹the ²spot] in the skin after   [³looking at ⁴him ¹the ²priest]   to cleanse him, then he shall appear the second time  to the priest. 8And [³shall look at ⁴him ¹the ²priest], and behold, [³degenerated ¹if the ²spot] in the skin, then [³shall declare him defiled ¹the ²priest] -- it is leprosy. 9And [²an infection ³of leprosy ¹if] happens in a man, then he shall come to the priest, 10and [³shall look ¹the ²priest], and behold, [²discoloration ¹if it is a white] in the skin, and if it turned the hair white, and some of the healthy   flesh   be living in the discoloration -- 11[²a leprosy ³becoming old ¹it is] in the skin   of his flesh, and [³shall declare him defiled ¹the ²priest], and shall separate him, for he is unclean. 12But if blooming [²shall break out ¹leprosy] in the skin, and [³shall cover ¹the ²leprosy] all the skin with the infection, from head unto his feet, according to the whole   vision of the priest; 13then [³shall look ¹the ²priest], and behold, [³covers ¹if the ²leprosy] all the skin   of his flesh, then he shall cleanse the infection, for all turned white -- it is clean. 14And in what ever day should appear to him [²flesh ¹living], he shall be declared defiled. 15And [³shall look at ¹the ²priest] the [²flesh   ¹healthy], and [⁴shall prove him defiled   ³flesh ¹the ²healthy]; for it is unclean, it is leprosy. 16But if [⁴should restore   ³flesh ¹the ²healthy] and turn white, then he shall come to the priest, 17and [³shall see ⁴him ¹the ²priest], and behold, [³turned ¹the ²infection] to the white, then [³shall declare him cleansed ¹the ²priest] by the infection -- he is clean. 18And if flesh should have [²in   ³his skin ¹a lesion], and should heal, 19and there should become in the place of the lesion, [²discoloration ¹a white], or radiant being whitened, or being reddish, and it should be looked at by the priest; 20then [³shall look ¹the ²priest], and behold, if the appearance be deeper under  the skin, and   its hair turns into white, then [³shall declare him defiled ¹the ²priest], for it is leprosy, [²in ³the ⁴lesion ¹it broke out]. 21But if [³should look at ⁴him ¹the ²priest], and behold, there is no [³on ⁴it ²hair ¹white], and [²deep ¹it should not be] under the skin of the flesh, and it should be faint, then [³shall separate ⁴him ¹the ²priest] seven days. 22But if in a diffusion it should have diffused in the skin, then [³shall declare him defiled ¹the ²priest]; [²an infection ³of leprosy ¹it is]; [²in ³the ⁴lesion ¹it broke out]. 23And if in its place [³should abide ¹the ²radiance], and should not diffuse, [²a discoloration ³of the ⁴lesion ¹it is], and [³shall cleanse ⁴him ¹the ²priest]. 24And if flesh should become [³in   ⁴his skin ²inflammation ¹a fiery], and there should be in   his skin the healing of the inflammation, shining forth radiant white, becoming somewhat reddish or very white; 25then [³shall look at ⁴him ¹the ²priest], and behold, [²is turned ¹if the hair] white in the shining forth, and the appearance of it is deep under the skin, it is leprosy; [²in ³the ⁴inflammation ¹it broke out], and [³shall declare him defiled ¹the ²priest]; [²an infection ³of leprosy ¹it is]. 26But if [³should look at ⁴him ¹the ²priest], and behold, there is not in the shining forth [²hair ¹a white], and [²deep ¹it should not be] under the skin, but it is  faint, then [³shall separate ⁴him ¹the ²priest] seven days. 27And [³shall look at ⁴him ¹the ²priest] in the [²day   ¹seventh]. But if the diffusion should diffuse in the skin, then [³shall declare him defiled ¹the ²priest]; [²an infection ³of leprosy ¹it is]; [²in ³the ⁴lesion ¹it broke out]. 28But if [⁴in its ⁵place ³should stay ¹the ²shining forth], and should not be diffused in the skin, but it should be faint, [²a discoloration ³of ⁴an inflammation ¹it is], and [³should declare him cleansed ¹the ²priest];   for [²an effect ³of  ⁴an inflammation ¹it is]. 29And a man or a woman, in whom ever has in themselves an infection of leprosy in the head or in the beard; 30then [³shall look at ¹the ²priest] the infection. And behold,   if its appearance be imbedded under the skin, [²in ³it ¹and ⁶hair ⁴a yellowish ⁵thin], then [³shall declare him defiled ¹the ²priest]; it is an outbreak, [²a leprosy ³of the ⁴head ⁵or ⁶a leprosy ⁷of the ⁸beard ¹it is]. 31And if [³should look at ¹the ²priest] the infection of the outbreak, and behold, [³is not ¹the ²appearance] imbedded under the skin, and the hair [²yellowish ¹is not] in it, then [³shall separate ¹the ²priest] the infection of the outbreak seven days. 32And [³shall look at ¹the ²priest] the infection on the [²day   ¹seventh]. And behold, [³should not be diffused ¹if the ²outbreak], and [⁴hair ³yellowish ²no ¹there is] in it, and the appearance of the outbreak is not hollow under the skin; 33then [³shall be shaven ¹the ²skin], but the outbreak shall not be shaven; and [³shall separate ¹the ²priest] the outbreak seven days for the second time. 34And [³shall look at ¹the ²priest] the outbreak on the [²day   ¹seventh]; and behold, [³should not ⁴be diffused ¹if the ²outbreak] in the skin after the shaving of it, and the appearance of the outbreak is not hollow under the skin, then [³shall cleanse ⁴him ¹the ²priest]; and washing   his garments, he will be clean. 35But if the diffusion should be diffused in the outbreak in the skin after   cleansing it, 36then [³shall look at ⁴him ¹the ²priest], and behold, [³should be diffused ¹if the ²outbreak] in the skin, [³shall not ⁴examine ¹the ²priest] concerning the hair   being yellowish -- he is unclean. 37But if before him [³should abide ⁴in ⁵its place ¹the ²outbreak], and [²hair ¹a black] should rise in it, [³is healed ¹the ²outbreak] -- he is clean, and [³shall declare him cleansed ¹the ²priest]. 38And a man or woman, in whom ever should have in the skin   of his flesh shinings shining forth being white, 39then [³shall look ¹the ²priest]; and behold, in the skin   of his flesh shinings shining forth being white, it is a psoriasis, it broke out in the skin, he is clean. 40And if any one be loose of hair then  his head is only bald; he is clean. 41But if [³by ⁴his face ²is loose of hair   ¹his head], he is forehead bald; he is clean. 42But if there becomes in   his baldness, or in   his being forehead bald [²infection ¹a white] or reddening, [²leprosy ³blossoming ¹it is] in   his baldness, or in   his forehead baldness. 43And [³shall look at ⁴him ¹the ²priest]. And behold, if the appearance of the infection be white or reddish in the his baldness, or in   his being forehead bald as the form of leprosy in the skin   of his flesh, 44[³man ²a leprous ¹he is], he is unclean; in defilement [³shall declare him defiled ¹the ²priest] -- in   his head is  his infection. 45And the leper in whom is the infection,   his garments shall be disabled, and   his head uncovered, and concerning   his mouth let him put something around it! And [²unclean ¹he shall call himself] 46all the days, as many as [³might be ⁴upon ⁵him ¹the ²infection] -- being unclean, he shall be unclean; being separated he shall sit down outside   of his camp, it will be to him a place for pastime. 47And a garment which ever should have in it an infection of leprosy in [²garment ¹a woolen], or in a garment made of hemp, 48or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the flaxen linens, or in the woolen threads, or in a skin, or in any workmanship of skin, 49and [³should become ¹the ²infection] greenish or reddish in the skin, or in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any item of workmanship of skin, [²an infection ³of leprosy ¹it is]; and he shall show it  to the priest. 50And [³shall look at ¹the ²priest] the infection; and [³shall separate ¹the ²priest] the infection seven days. 51And he shall look at the infection on the [²day   ¹seventh]. But if [³should diffuse ¹the ²infection] in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, according to all as much as might be made with the skins in the work, [²leprosy ¹it is permanent];   [²infection ¹it is an unclean]. 52He shall incinerate the garment, or the warp, or the woof which is  in the woolen garments, or in the flaxen linens, or in every item made of skin, in which ever there might be in it the infection; for [²leprosy ¹it is a permanent]; by fire it shall be incinerated. 53But if [³should look ¹the ²priest], and [³should not be diffused ¹the ²infection] in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any item made of skin; 54then [³shall order ¹the ²priest], and one shall wash that upon which ever there might be [²upon ³it   ¹an infection]; and [³shall separate ¹the ²priest] the infection seven days for the second time. 55And [³shall look ¹the ²priest] after the washing the infection; and thus [³in no way ⁴should turn ¹the ²infection]   of its appearance, and the infection did not diffuse, it is unclean; in fire you shall incinerate it; it is fixed firm in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof. 56And if [³should look ¹the ²priest], and [³should be ⁴faint ¹the ²infection] after   washing it, he shall rip it from the garment, or from the warp, or from the woof, or from the skin. 57And if it should appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any item made of skin, [²leprosy ³breaking forth ¹it is]; by fire you shall incinerate [⁵in ¹that which ⁴is ²the ³infection]. 58And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any item made of skin which shall be washed, and [³leaves ⁴from ⁵it ¹the ²infection], that it shall be washed the second time, and it shall be clean. 59This is the law of an infection of leprosy of a garment of wool, or made of hemp, or warp, or woof, or any item made of skin, in the declaring it cleansed or defiled.
