Leviticus 11-13 (21st Century King James Version)

Leviticus 11

 ¹And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

   
 ²"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, `These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

   
 ³Whatsoever parteth the hoof and is cloven-footed and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

   
 ⁴Nevertheless these shall ye not eat, of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you;

   
 ⁵and the coney, because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you;

   
 ⁶and the hare, because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you;

   
 ⁷and the swine, though he divide the hoof and is cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud, he is unclean to you.

   
 ⁸Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

   
 ⁹"`These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

   
 ¹⁰And all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you.

   
 ¹¹They shall be even an abomination unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall hold their carcasses in abomination.

   
 ¹²Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

   
 ¹³"`And these are they which ye shall hold in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,

   
 ¹⁴and the vulture, and the kite after his kind,

   
 ¹⁵every raven after his kind,

   
 ¹⁶and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,

   
 ¹⁷and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

   
 ¹⁸and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

   
 ¹⁹and the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

   
 ²⁰"`All fowls that creep, going upon all fours, shall be an abomination unto you.

   
 ²¹Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all fours, which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth;

   
 ²²even these of them ye may eat: the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

   
 ²³But all other flying creeping things which have four feet shall be an abomination unto you.

   
 ²⁴"`And by these ye shall be unclean. Whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening,

   
 ²⁵and whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

   
 ²⁶The carcasses of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you; every one who toucheth them shall be unclean.

   
 ²⁷And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all fours, those are unclean unto you; whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

   
 ²⁸And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean unto you.

   
 ²⁹"`These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

   
 ³⁰and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

   
 ³¹These are unclean to you among all that creep; whosoever doth touch them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.

   
 ³²And upon whatsoever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean. Whether it be any vessel of wood or raiment or skin or sack, whatsoever vessel it be wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

   
 ³³And every earthen vessel whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and ye shall break it.

   
 ³⁴Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

   
 ³⁵And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean. Whether it be an oven or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down; for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.

   
 ³⁶Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean; but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.

   
 ³⁷And if any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

   
 ³⁸But if any water be put upon the seed and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

   
 ³⁹"`And if any beast of which ye may eat die, he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the evening.

   
 ⁴⁰And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. He also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

   
 ⁴¹"`And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

   
 ⁴²Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat, for they are an abomination.

   
 ⁴³Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

   
 ⁴⁴For I am the LORD your God. Ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy, for I am holy; neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

   
 ⁴⁵For I am the LORD who bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

   
 ⁴⁶"`This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth,

   
 ⁴⁷to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.'"

   

Leviticus 12

 ¹And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

   
 ²"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, `If a woman have conceived seed and borne a manchild, then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

   
 ³And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

   
 ⁴And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days. She shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.

   
 ⁵But if she bear a maidchild, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation; and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.

   
 ⁶"`And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation unto the priest,

   
 ⁷who shall offer it before the LORD and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath borne a male or a female.

   
 ⁸And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for the burnt offering and the other for a sin offering, and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.'"

   

Leviticus 13

 ¹And the LORD spoke 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.

   
 ³And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh; and when the hair in the plague has turned white and the plague in appearance 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.

   
 ⁴If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh and in appearance 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.

   
 ⁵And the priest shall look on him the seventh day; and behold, if the plague in its appearance is stayed and the plague spread not in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more.

   
 ⁶And 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.

   
 ⁷But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again.

   
 ⁸And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.

   
 ⁹"When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest.

   
 ¹⁰And the priest shall see him; and behold, if the rising be white in the skin and it has turned the hair white and there be living raw flesh in the rising,

   
 ¹¹it 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.

   
 ¹²And if 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,

   
 ¹³then the priest shall consider; and behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague. It has all turned white; he is clean.

   
 ¹⁴But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.

   
 ¹⁵And the priest shall see the raw flesh and pronounce him to be unclean, for the raw flesh is unclean; it is leprosy.

   
 ¹⁶Or if the raw flesh turn again and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest,

   
 ¹⁷and 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 it is healed,

   
 ¹⁹and in the place of the boil there be a white rising or a bright spot, white and somewhat reddish, and it be shown to the priest,

   
 ²⁰and if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it is in appearance lower than the skin and the hair thereof is turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

   
 ²¹But if the priest look on it, and behold, there are no white hairs therein and if it is not lower than the skin, but is somewhat dark, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.

   
 ²²And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague.

   
 ²³But 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 living flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish or white,

   
 ²⁵then the priest shall look upon it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot is turned white and it is in appearance deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy broken out of the burning. Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the plague of leprosy.

   
 ²⁶But if the priest look on it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot and it is no lower than the other skin, but is somewhat dark, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.

   
 ²⁷And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day; and if it is spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the plague of leprosy.

   
 ²⁸And if the bright spot stay in his place and spread not in the skin, but it is somewhat dark, it is a rising from the burning; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is an inflammation from the burning.

   
 ²⁹"If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard,

   
 ³⁰then the priest shall see the plague; and behold, if it be in appearance deeper than the skin and there is 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.

   
 ³¹And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and behold, it is not in appearance deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days.

   
 ³²And on the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague; and behold, if the scall spread not and there is in it no yellow hair and the scall is not in appearance deeper than the skin,

   
 ³³he shall be shaved, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more.

   
 ³⁴And on the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall; and behold, if the scall is not spread in the skin nor is in appearance deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

   
 ³⁵But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing,

   
 ³⁶then the priest shall look on him; and behold, if the scall is spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.

   
 ³⁷But if the scall is in appearance stayed and 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,

   
 ³⁹then 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 has fallen off his head, he is bald, yet is he clean.

   
 ⁴¹And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, his forehead is bald, yet is he clean.

   
 ⁴²And if there be in the bald head or bald forehead a white reddish sore, it is leprosy sprung up in his bald head or his bald forehead.

   
 ⁴³Then the priest shall look upon it; and behold, if the rising of the sore is reddish white in his bald head or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh,

   
 ⁴⁴he is a leprous man; he is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is on 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.'

   
 ⁴⁶All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean. He shall dwell alone; outside 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,

   
 ⁴⁸whether it be in the warp or woof, of linen or of wool, whether in a skin or in any thing made of skin,

   
 ⁴⁹and if the plague is 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 shown unto the priest.

   
 ⁵⁰And the priest shall look upon the plague and shut up it that hath the plague seven days.

   
 ⁵¹And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day; if the plague is 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 consuming leprosy; it is unclean.

   
 ⁵²He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or any thing of skin wherein the plague is, for it is a consuming leprosy; it shall be burned in the fire.

   
 ⁵³"And if the priest shall look, and behold, the plague is not spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any thing of skin,

   
 ⁵⁴then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more.

   
 ⁵⁵And the priest shall look on the plague after it is washed; and behold, if the plague has not changed his color and the plague is not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire. It has eaten inward, whether it be bare within or without.

   
 ⁵⁶And if the priest look, and behold, the plague is 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.

   
 ⁵⁷And 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.

   
 ⁵⁸And the garment, either warp or woof or whatsoever thing of skin it is which thou shalt wash, if the plague is departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time and shall be clean."

   
 ⁵⁹This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.
