  • Numbers 5:1 (thematic): Same formula addressing Moses and Aaron to set out laws about uncleanness and removal from the camp — both verses introduce priestly regulations concerning contagion and purity.
  • Leviticus 1:1 (verbal): Uses the same divine-to-Moses speech formula introducing priestly/legal material; both mark the start of major sections of cultic legislation in the Priestly collection.
  • Leviticus 4:1 (verbal): Another instance of 'And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying' that introduces sacrificial law (sin offerings); parallels Lev 13:1 in form and function as an authoritative introduction to ritual-legal instructions.

Parallels

  • Lev.14:2 (structural): Continues the priestly procedure for dealing with a person afflicted with a skin disease and prescribes the rites for declaring clean or unclean—direct continuation of the Levitical regulations.
  • Matt.8:4 (verbal): After Jesus heals a man with a skin disease he instructs him to 'show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded,' echoing the Levitical requirement to bring suspected cases to the priest.
  • Luke 17:14 (verbal): When ten lepers are healed Jesus tells them to 'go show yourselves to the priests,' reflecting the priest's role in certification established in Leviticus 13–14.
  • Num.12:10-15 (thematic): Narrative of Miriam being struck with a skin disease and isolated until healed; illustrates the social and ritual consequences of skin diseases and the practice of exclusion/quarantine.
  • Deut.24:8-9 (allusion): Admonition to remember what the LORD did to Miriam and to follow the law concerning skin diseases; alludes to the priestly diagnostic/legal framework found in Leviticus 13.

Parallels

  • Leviticus 13:2 (structural): Introduces the same priestly diagnostic role — the priest is to examine any skin disease, framing the examination procedure that verse 13:3 exemplifies.
  • Leviticus 13:4 (verbal): Closely parallel language and diagnostic criteria (hair turned white, depth of the lesion) describing another case where the priest pronounces the person unclean.
  • Leviticus 13:6-8 (thematic): Continues the same inspection protocol — the priest re-examines suspected lesions after seven days and decides clean/unclean based on changes, illustrating the procedural context for 13:3.
  • Leviticus 14:2-3 (structural): Deals with the priest's role in declaring a person clean when a skin disease has healed, providing the complementary ritual outcome to the uncleanness determination in 13:3.
  • Numbers 12:10 (allusion): Reports Miriam becoming 'leprous, white as snow' and ostracized — thematically linked by the motif of whiteness and divine/communal response to skin affliction.

Alternative generated candidates

  • And the priest shall look at the affliction on the skin of the flesh; and if the hair in the affliction has turned white, and the appearance of the affliction is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is an affliction of skin-disease; and the priest, when he sees it, shall declare him unclean.
  • The priest shall look at the infection on the skin of the flesh, and if the hair in the infection has turned white, and the appearance of the infection is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is an infection of skin disease; when the priest sees it, he shall declare him unclean.
4 But if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

  • Lev.13.46 (thematic): Gives the wider consequence for a declared unclean person—permanent separation and dwelling 'outside the camp'—echoing the isolation implied by the seven‑day shut‑up.
  • Lev.14:4–7 (thematic): Later priestly procedure for cleansing a healed leper; connects the priest's authoritative role and the post‑isolation ritual steps (inspection, offerings) that follow the quarantine period.
  • Matt.8:4 (allusion): After Jesus heals a leper he instructs him to 'show yourself to the priest' and offer what Moses commanded—reflects the continuing practice of priestly examination and ritual restitutions rooted in Leviticus law.

  • Lev.14:7 (structural): Corresponding cleansing-procedure — the priest again 'looks on the seventh day' after isolation; if the sore is healed he pronounces clean and carries out the ritual for restoration (mirror image of the diagnostic inspection in 13:5).
  • Lev.13:47-59 (thematic): Parallel diagnostic rules applied to garments — similar vocabulary and evaluative procedure for identifying a spreading plague (mildew/lesion) and deciding if it renders the object unclean or must be destroyed or laundered.
  • Matt.8:4 (cf. Mark 1:44; Luke 5:14) (thematic): New Testament application of the priestly inspection rule — after Jesus heals a leper he instructs him to 'show thyself to the priest' for certification, presupposing the Levitical diagnostic/cleansing procedures exemplified in Lev 13–14.

Alternative generated candidates

6 And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day a second time; and if the affliction has faded and the affliction has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall declare him clean—it is a scab. And he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

When a person has in the skin of his flesh a swelling or a scab or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his flesh an affliction of skin-disease, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests. And the priest shall look at the affliction in the skin of the flesh. If the hair in the affliction has turned white and the appearance of the affliction is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is an affliction of skin-disease. When the priest sees it, he shall declare him unclean. But if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate him seven days. And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day, and see: the affliction has remained as it appeared; the affliction has not spread in the skin. Then the priest shall isolate him seven days a second time. And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day a second time; and if the affliction has faded and the affliction has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall declare him clean—it is a scab. And he shall wash his clothes and be clean. But if the scab does indeed spread in the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for cleansing, then he shall show himself to the priest again. And the priest shall look, and if the scab has spread in the skin, the priest shall declare him unclean; it is skin-disease.

When an affliction of skin-disease is in a person, he shall be brought to the priest. And the priest shall look, and if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and raw flesh is in the swelling,

it is a chronic skin-disease in the skin of his flesh; and the priest shall declare him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is unclean. But if the skin-disease breaks out, spreading in the skin, and the skin-disease covers all the skin of the afflicted from his head to his foot—according to all that the priest’s eyes can see—

then the priest shall look, and if the skin-disease has covered all his flesh, he shall declare the affliction clean; it has all turned white—he is clean. But on the day when raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. And the priest shall look at the raw flesh and declare him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean—it is skin-disease. But if the raw flesh turns back and turns white, he shall come to the priest. And the priest shall look at him, and if the affliction has turned white, the priest shall declare the affliction clean; he is clean. And when there is in the skin of the flesh a boil and it is healed,

and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a bright spot, white or reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest. And the priest shall look; and if its appearance is deeper than the skin and its hair has turned white, the priest shall declare him unclean; it is an affliction of skin-disease—it has broken out in the boil. But if the priest looks at it and there is no white hair in it, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and it is faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days. And if it spreads in the skin, the priest shall declare him unclean; it is an affliction. But if the bright spot remains in its place and has not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall declare him clean.

Or when the flesh has in the skin a burn from fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white or white,

the priest shall look at it; and if the hair in the bright spot has turned white and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is an affliction of skin-disease—it has broken out in the burn; and the priest shall declare him unclean; it is an affliction of skin-disease. But if the priest looks at it and there is no white hair in the bright spot, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and it is faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days. And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day; if it spreads widely in the skin, the priest shall declare him unclean; it is an affliction of skin-disease. But if the bright spot remains in its place and has not spread in the skin, and it is faded, it is the swelling from the burn; and the priest shall declare him clean, for it is the scar of the burn. And when a man or a woman has an affliction on the head or on the beard,

the priest shall look at the affliction; and if its appearance is deeper than the skin and in it is yellowish, thin hair, the priest shall declare him unclean; it is a scaly patch; it is a skin-disease of the head or the beard. But when the priest looks at the affliction of the scaly patch, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and black hair is not in it, then the priest shall isolate the affliction of the scaly patch seven days. And the priest shall look at the affliction on the seventh day; and if the scaly patch has not spread and there is in it no yellowish hair, and the appearance of the scaly patch is not deeper than the skin,

then he shall shave himself, but the scaly patch he shall not shave; and the priest shall isolate the scaly patch seven days a second time. And the priest shall look at the scaly patch on the seventh day; and if the scaly patch has not spread in the skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall declare him clean; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean. But if the scaly patch does indeed spread in the skin after his cleansing,

the priest shall look at him; and if the scaly patch has spread in the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair—he is unclean. But if in his sight the scaly patch has remained and black hair has grown in it, the scaly patch is healed; he is clean, and the priest shall declare him clean. And when a man or a woman has in the skin of their flesh bright spots, bright spots white,

then the priest shall look; and if in the skin of their flesh are dull-white bright spots, it is a faded discoloration that has broken out in the skin; they are clean. And when a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald; he is clean. And if he loses the hair from the front of his head, he is bald on the forehead; he is clean. But if on his bald head or on his bald forehead there is an affliction, white, reddish, it is skin-disease breaking out on his bald head or on his bald forehead.

Then the priest shall look at him; and if the swelling of the affliction is white, reddish in his bald head or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of skin-disease in the skin of the flesh,

he is a man afflicted with skin-disease; he is unclean. The priest shall indeed declare him unclean; his affliction is on his head. And the one afflicted with skin-disease, in whom the affliction is, his clothes shall be torn and his head shall be unkempt. He shall cover over his upper lip and shall call out, “Unclean! Unclean!”

All the days that the affliction is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean. He shall dwell apart; outside the camp shall be his dwelling.
