| 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. |
