Laws for Leprosy—Skin Diseases

Leviticus 13:1-46
1And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2When a man has an elevation or a scab or a bright spot in the skin of his flesh, and it becomes a plague of leprosy in the skin of his flesh, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 3The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the flesh; if the hair in the plague has turned white and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy, and the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean. 4If 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, the priest shall shut up the plague for seven days. 5The priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and if the plague has stood in his eyes and the plague has not spread in the skin, the priest shall shut him up for seven days a second time. 6The priest shall examine him on the seventh day a second time, and if the plague has faded and has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a scab, and he shall wash his garments and be clean. 7If the scab spreads in the skin after he has been seen by the priest for his purifying, he shall be seen a second time by the priest. 8The priest shall examine, and if the scab has spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy. 9When a plague of leprosy occurs in a man, he shall be brought to the priest. 10The priest shall examine, and if there is a white elevation in the skin and the hair has turned white and there is living flesh in the elevation, 11it is chronic leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not shut him up, because he is unclean. 12If the leprosy breaks out in the skin and the leprosy covers all the skin of the plague from his head to his foot according to all the appearance of the priest's eyes, 13and the priest examines and the leprosy has covered all his flesh, the priest shall pronounce the plague clean; it has all turned white; he is clean. 14On the day living flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. 15The priest shall examine the living flesh and pronounce him unclean; the living flesh is unclean; it is leprosy. 16Or if the living flesh returns and turns white, he shall come to the priest. 17The priest shall examine him, and if the plague has turned white, the priest shall pronounce the plague clean; he is clean. 18When flesh has a boil in his skin and it heals, 19and in the place of the boil there is a white elevation or a white reddish bright spot, it shall be seen by the priest. 20The priest shall examine, and if its appearance is lower than the skin and its hair has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy that has broken out in the boil. 21If the priest examines it and there is no white hair in it and its appearance is not lower than the skin and it is faint, the priest shall shut him up for seven days. 22If it spreads in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague. 23If the bright spot remains under it and has not spread, it is a scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 24Or when flesh in his skin has a burn from fire and the recovery of the burn is a white reddish or white bright spot, 25the priest shall examine it, and if the hair has turned white in the bright spot and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy that has broken out in the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy. 26If the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the bright spot and its appearance is not lower than the skin and it is faint, the priest shall shut him up for seven days. 27The priest shall examine him on the seventh day; if it spreads in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy. 28If the bright spot remains under it, has not spread in the skin, and is faint, it is an elevation of the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is a scar of the burn. 29When a man or a woman has a plague in the head or in the beard, 30the priest shall examine the plague, and if its appearance is deeper than the skin and there is yellow thin hair in it, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scab; it is leprosy of the head or the beard. 31If the priest examines the plague of the scab and its appearance is not deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall shut up the plague of the scab for seven days. 32The priest shall examine the plague on the seventh day, and if the scab has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it and the appearance of the scab is not deeper than the skin, 33he shall be shaved, but the scab shall not be shaved, and the priest shall shut up the scab for seven days a second time. 34The priest shall examine the scab on the seventh day, and if the scab has not spread in the skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his garments and be clean. 35If the scab spreads in the skin after his purifying, 36the priest shall examine, and if the scab has spread in the skin, the priest shall not examine the yellow hair; he is unclean. 37If the scab has stood in his eyes and black hair has sprung in it, the scab is healed; he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 38When a man or a woman has bright spots, white bright spots, in the skin of their flesh, 39the priest shall examine, and if in the skin of their flesh there are faint white bright spots, it is a spot that has broken out in the skin; he is clean. 40When a man's head is made smooth, he is bald; he is clean. 41If from the side of his face his head is made smooth, he is bald; he is clean. 42When a white reddish plague occurs in the baldness or in the baldness, leprosy has broken out in his baldness or in his baldness. 43the priest shall examine him, and if the elevation of the plague is white reddish in his baldness or in his baldness like the appearance of leprosy of the skin of flesh, 44he is a leprous man; he is unclean; the priest shall defile him by declaring defilement upon his head because of his plague. 45The leprous person who has the plague shall have torn garments, his head shall be neglected, and he shall cover his mustache, and he shall call out 'Unclean, unclean!' all the days the plague is in him; he is unclean. 46He shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.
