Chapter 13 |
| 1 | And the LORD
spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, |
| 2 | When a man shall have in the
skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of
his flesh 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 plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is
turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it
is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him
unclean. |
| 4
| If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and
in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white;
then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days: |
| 5 |
And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in
his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest
shall shut him up seven days more: |
| 6 | And the priest shall look on
him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the
plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but
a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. |
| 7 | But if the
scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest
for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again. |
| 8 | And if the
priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy. |
|
9 | When the plague of leprosy
is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest; |
| 10 | And the
priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it
have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
|
| 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 |
And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the
skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever
the priest looketh; |
| 13 | Then the priest shall consider: and, behold,
if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that
hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean. |
| 14 | But when raw
flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. |
|
15 | And the priest shall
see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is
unclean: it is a leprosy. |
|
16 | Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be
changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest; |
| 17 | And the
priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the
priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean. |
| 18 |
The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is
healed, |
| 19
| And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or
a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the
priest; |
| 20
| And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight
lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
|
| 21 | But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs
therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the
priest shall shut him up seven days: |
| 22 | And if it spread much abroad
in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
|
| 23 | But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a
burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. |
| 24 | Or if there
be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh
that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white; |
| 25 |
Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot
be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy
broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it
is the plague of leprosy. |
|
26 | But if the priest look on it, and,
behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the
other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven
days: |
| 27 |
And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it
be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is the plague of leprosy. |
|
28 | And if the bright spot stay in his
place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of
the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an
inflammation of the burning. |
|
29 | If a man or woman have a plague upon
the head or the beard; |
| 30 | Then the priest shall see the plague: and,
behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow
thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even
a leprosy upon the head or beard. |
| 31 | And if the priest look on the
plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and
that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath
the plague of the scall seven days: |
| 32 | And in the seventh day the
priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and
there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the
skin; |
| 33 |
He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the
priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more: |
| 34 | And
in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the
scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the
priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be
clean. |
| 35
| But if the scall spread much in the skin after his
cleansing; |
| 36
| Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the
scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is
unclean. |
| 37
| But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that
there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the
priest shall pronounce him clean. |
| 38 | If a man also or a woman have
in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots; |
| 39 |
Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of
their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin;
he is clean. |
|
40 | And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he
is bald; yet is he clean. |
|
41 | And he that hath his hair fallen off
from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he
clean. |
| 42
| And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a
white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald
forehead. |
| 43
| Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the
rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead,
as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh; |
| 44 | He is a
leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his
plague is in his head. |
| 45 | And the leper in whom the plague is, his
clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his
upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. |
|
46 | All the days wherein
the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell
alone; without the camp shall his habitation be. |
| 47 | The garment
also 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 woof; of linen, or of
woolen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; |
| 49 | And if
the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the
warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and
shall be showed unto the priest: |
| 50 | And the priest shall look
upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days: |
| 51 |
And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in
the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work
that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
|
| 52 | He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woolen or
in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting
leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire. |
|
53 | And if the priest shall
look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp,
or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; |
|
54 | Then the priest shall
command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up
seven days more: |
|
55 | And the priest shall look on the plague, after that
it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his color, and the
plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret
inward, whether it be bare within or without. |
| 56 | And if the
priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it;
then he shall rend 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,
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading
plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. |
| 58 | And
the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which
thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed
the second time, and shall be clean. |
| 59 | This is the law of the plague
of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any
thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean. |
