Ang Pulong Sang Dios

Ang mga Pagsulundan Parte sa Delikado nga mga Balatian sa Panit

13 Naghatag ang Ginoo sang sini nga mga pagsulundan kay Moises kag kay Aaron:

2 Kon ang panit sang isa ka tawo nagabanog ukon nagaguros-guros ukon nagalamuti, nga tanda sang delikado nga balatian sa panit,[a] dal-on ini nga tawo kay Aaron nga pari ukon sa isa sa mga pari nga kaliwat ni Aaron. 3 Tan-awon sang pari ang iya panit, kag kon nagputi ang balahibo kag nagdalom ang inpeksyon, may delikado siya nga balatian sa panit. Kag ipahibalo dayon sang pari nga mahigko siya. 4 Kon nagalamuti ang panit pero wala magdalom ang inpeksyon kag wala magputi ang balahibo, pagapainon siya sang pari sa mga tawo sa sulod sang pito ka adlaw. 5 Sa ikapito nga adlaw, tan-awon liwat siya sang pari. Kag kon ang makita sa panit amo lang gihapon kag wala man ini maglapta, painon siya liwat sang pari sa mga tawo sa sulod sang pito pa gid ka adlaw. 6 Sa ikapito naman nga adlaw, tan-awon liwat siya sang pari. Kag kon nagpali na ang ara sa iya panit kag wala maglapta, ipahibalo sang pari nga matinlo siya kay guros-guros man lang ini. Pagkatapos sini, labhan sang tawo ang iya bayo,[b] kag kabigon siya nga matinlo. 7 Pero kon maglapta ang guros-guros sa iya panit sa tapos nga nakapatan-aw na siya sa pari kag ginpahibalo na sang pari nga matinlo siya, kinahanglan nga magpatan-aw liwat siya sa pari. 8 Kag kon matuod nga naglapta ang guros-guros, ipahibalo sang pari nga mahigko siya kay may delikado siya nga balatian sa panit.

9 Ang bisan sin-o nga may tanda sang delikado nga balatian sa panit kinahanglan nga dal-on sa pari. 10 Kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari nagalamuti ang banog nga amo ang kabangdanan nga nagputi ang mga balahibo, kag ang unod kitaon na, 11 isa ini ka delikado nga balatian sa panit nga nagabalik-balik. Kag ipahibalo sang pari nga mahigko siya. Indi na kinahanglan nga painon pa siya agod obserbahan kay klaro na nga mahigko siya.

12 Kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari naglapta ang balatian sa bug-os nga lawas sang tawo, 13 kinahanglan nga tan-awon pa gid niya sing maayo ini nga tawo. Kag kon matuod nga naglapta ang balatian sa bug-os niya nga lawas kag tungod sini nagputi ang tanan niya nga panit, ipahibalo sang pari nga matinlo siya.[c] 14-15 Pero kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari nagaguwa ang unod, ipahibalo niya nga mahigko ang tawo kay may delikado siya nga balatian sa panit. Ining nagaguwa nga unod ginakabig nga mahigko. 16 Pero kon nagkugan ining unod kag nagputi ang pinalian, magpatan-aw liwat siya sa pari. 17 Kag kon matuod nga nagpali ini, ipahibalo sang pari nga matinlo na siya.

18 Kon ang isa ka tawo may hubag nga nag-ayo, 19 pero sang ulihi nagpalamuti ini ukon nagpalamula, kinahanglan nga ipatan-aw niya ini sa pari. 20 Kag kon nagdalom ang inpeksyon kag nagputi ang balahibo, ipahibalo sang pari nga mahigko ang ini nga tawo, kay may delikado siya nga balatian sa panit nga nag-umpisa sa hubag. 21 Pero kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari wala magputi ang balahibo kag wala magdalom ang inpeksyon, kag medyo pali na, painon siya sang pari sa mga tawo sa sulod sang pito ka adlaw. 22 Kon naglapta ini sa iban nga parte sang panit, ipahibalo sang pari nga mahigko siya, kay tanda ina sang delikado nga balatian sa panit. 23 Pero kon wala man ini maglapta, pinalian lang ini sang hubag, kag ipahibalo sang pari nga matinlo siya.

24 Kon ang isa ka tawo may paso nga nainpeksyon kag nagpalamuti ini ukon nagpalamula, 25 kinahanglan nga ipatan-aw ini sa pari. Kag kon nagputi ang balahibo kag nagdalom ang inpeksyon, may delikado siya nga balatian sa panit nga nag-umpisa sa paso. Kag ipahibalo sang pari nga mahigko siya. 26 Pero kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari wala magputi ang balahibo kag wala magdalom ang inpeksyon, kag medyo pali na, painon siya sang pari sa mga tawo sa sulod sang pito ka adlaw. 27 Sa ikapito nga adlaw, tan-awon liwat siya sang pari. Kag kon naglapta ini sa iban nga parte sang panit, ipahibalo sang pari nga mahigko siya, kay tanda ina sang delikado nga balatian sa panit. 28 Pero kon wala man ini maglapta kag medyo pali na, isa lang ini ka banog nga nag-umpisa sa paso. Kag ipahibalo sang pari nga matinlo siya.

29 Kon ang isa ka tawo[d] may tanda sang delikado nga balatian sa panit sa iya ulo ukon sag-ang, 30 kinahanglan nga ipatan-aw niya ini sa pari. Kon nagdalom ang inpeksyon kag ang mga buhok ukon burangos nagadalag[e] kag nagalaka, ipahibalo sang pari nga mahigko ang ini nga tawo, kay may delikado siya nga katol nga nagatubo sa ulo ukon sa sag-ang. 31 Kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari wala magdalom ang inpeksyon pero wala na ini sang itom nga buhok ukon burangos, painon siya sang pari sa mga tawo sa sulod sang pito ka adlaw. 32 Sa ikapito nga adlaw, tan-awon liwat sang pari ang katol. Kag kon wala ini maglapta kag wala magdalom ang inpeksyon, kag wala man magdalag ang buhok ukon burangos, 33 kinahanglan nga kiskisan niya ang iya buhok ukon barbasan ang iya burangos pero indi niya pag-ilakip ang parte nga may katol. Dayon painon liwat siya sang pari sa sulod sang pito pa gid ka adlaw. 34 Sa ikapito nga adlaw, tan-awon liwat sang pari ang katol. Kag kon wala ini maglapta kag wala magdalom ang inpeksyon, ipahibalo sang pari nga matinlo siya. Dayon labhan sang tawo ang iya bayo, kag kabigon siya nga matinlo. 35 Pero kon naglapta ang katol sa iya panit matapos nga ginpahibalo sang pari nga matinlo siya, 36 tan-awon liwat siya sang pari. Kag kon naglapta matuod ang katol sa iya panit, indi na kinahanglan nga tan-awon pa sang pari kon may buhok ukon burangos nga nagdalag kay klaro na nga mahigko siya. 37 Pero kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari wala ini maglapta kag may itom na nga buhok ukon burangos nga nagatubo, ayo na ini. Kag ipahibalo sang pari nga matinlo siya.

38 Kon may nagaputi-puti sa panit sang isa ka tawo, 39 kinahanglan nga ipatan-aw niya ini sa pari. Kag kon ang mga nagaputi-puti malapsi, guros-guros lang ini nga nagguluwa sa panit. Ini nga tawo kabigon nga matinlo.

40-41 Kon ang isa ka tawo nakalbo sa may agtang dampi ukon sa iya alimpudwan, matinlo siya. 42-44 Pero kon may mapula-pula nga banog sa iya kalbo, kinahanglan nga ipatan-aw niya ini sa pari. Kag kon ang mapula-pula nga banog isa ka delikado nga balatian sa panit, ipahibalo sang pari nga mahigko siya.

45 Ang tawo nga may delikado nga balatian sa panit kinahanglan nga magsuksok sang gision nga bayo, gumunon niya ang iya buhok, kag tabunan niya ang idalom nga parte sang iya guya. Dayon magsinggit siya, “Mahigko ako! Mahigko ako!” 46 Kabigon siya nga mahigko samtang ara pa sa iya ang balatian. Kag kinahanglan nga mag-estar siya sa guwa sang kampo nga isahanon lang.

Ang mga Pagsulundan Parte sa Tagiptip

47-50 Kon may tagiptip[f] ang panapton nga delana ukon linen ukon ang bisan ano nga butang nga hinimo halin sa panit, kinahanglan nga ipatan-aw ini sa pari. Pagkatapos nga matan-aw sang pari ang panapton ukon ang panit, painon niya ini sa sulod sang pito ka adlaw. 51-52 Sa ikapito nga adlaw, tan-awon ini liwat sang pari. Kag kon naglapta ang tagiptip, kabigon ini nga panapton ukon panit nga mahigko, kag kinahanglan nga sunugon ini tungod kay nagadamo ini nga tagiptip. 53 Pero kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari wala man maglapta ang tagiptip, 54 magsugo siya nga labhan ang panapton ukon hugasan ang panit, kag painon niya ini sa sulod sang pito pa gid ka adlaw. 55 Pagkatapos tan-awon ini liwat sang pari. Kag kon ang tagiptip wala maglus-aw, kabigon ini nga panapton ukon panit nga mahigko bisan pa nga wala maglapta ang tagiptip. Gani kinahanglan nga sunugon ini bisan ara sa guwa ukon sa sulod sang panapton ang tagiptip. 56 Pero kon sa pagtan-aw sang pari naglus-aw ang tagiptip, gision niya ang parte sang panapton ukon panit nga gintagiptipan. 57 Pero kon magbalik liwat ang tagiptip kag maglapta, kinahanglan nga sunugon ang panapton ukon ang panit. 58 Kon nadula ang tagiptip pagkatapos nga ginlabhan ang panapton ukon panit, labhan ini liwat kag mangin matinlo na ini. 59 Amo ini ang mga pagsulundan kon paano mahibaluan nga matinlo ukon mahigko ang panapton nga delana ukon linen ukon ang bisan ano nga butang nga hinimo halin sa panit nga may tagiptip.

Regulations About Defiling Skin Diseases

13 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 2 “When anyone has a swelling(A) or a rash or a shiny spot(B) on their skin that may be a defiling skin disease,[a](C) they must be brought to Aaron the priest(D) or to one of his sons[b] who is a priest. 3 The priest is to examine the sore on the skin, and if the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears to be more than skin deep, it is a defiling skin disease. When the priest examines that person, he shall pronounce them ceremonially unclean.(E) 4 If the shiny spot(F) on the skin is white but does not appear to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days.(G) 5 On the seventh day(H) the priest is to examine them,(I) and if he sees that the sore is unchanged and has not spread in the skin, he is to isolate them for another seven days. 6 On the seventh day the priest is to examine them again, and if the sore has faded and has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them clean;(J) it is only a rash. They must wash their clothes,(K) and they will be clean.(L) 7 But if the rash does spread in their skin after they have shown themselves to the priest to be pronounced clean, they must appear before the priest again.(M) 8 The priest is to examine that person, and if the rash has spread in the skin, he shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease.

9 “When anyone has a defiling skin disease, they must be brought to the priest. 10 The priest is to examine them, and if there is a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white and if there is raw flesh in the swelling, 11 it is a chronic skin disease(N) and the priest shall pronounce them unclean. He is not to isolate them, because they are already unclean.

12 “If the disease breaks out all over their skin and, so far as the priest can see, it covers all the skin of the affected person from head to foot, 13 the priest is to examine them, and if the disease has covered their whole body, he shall pronounce them clean. Since it has all turned white, they are clean. 14 But whenever raw flesh appears on them, they will be unclean. 15 When the priest sees the raw flesh, he shall pronounce them unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; they have a defiling disease.(O) 16 If the raw flesh changes and turns white, they must go to the priest. 17 The priest is to examine them, and if the sores have turned white, the priest shall pronounce the affected person clean;(P) then they will be clean.

18 “When someone has a boil(Q) on their skin and it heals, 19 and in the place where the boil was, a white swelling or reddish-white(R) spot(S) appears, they must present themselves to the priest. 20 The priest is to examine it, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce that person unclean. It is a defiling skin disease(T) that has broken out where the boil was. 21 But if, when the priest examines it, there is no white hair in it and it is not more than skin deep and has faded, then the priest is to isolate them for seven days. 22 If it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling disease. 23 But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce them clean.(U)

24 “When someone has a burn on their skin and a reddish-white or white spot appears in the raw flesh of the burn, 25 the priest is to examine the spot, and if the hair in it has turned white, and it appears to be more than skin deep, it is a defiling disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease.(V) 26 But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot and if it is not more than skin deep and has faded, then the priest is to isolate them for seven days.(W) 27 On the seventh day the priest is to examine that person,(X) and if it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease. 28 If, however, the spot is unchanged and has not spread in the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce them clean; it is only a scar from the burn.(Y)

29 “If a man or woman has a sore on their head(Z) or chin, 30 the priest is to examine the sore, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease on the head or chin. 31 But if, when the priest examines the sore, it does not seem to be more than skin deep and there is no black hair in it, then the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days.(AA) 32 On the seventh day the priest is to examine the sore,(AB) and if it has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it and it does not appear to be more than skin deep, 33 then the man or woman must shave themselves, except for the affected area, and the priest is to keep them isolated another seven days. 34 On the seventh day the priest is to examine the sore,(AC) and if it has not spread in the skin and appears to be no more than skin deep, the priest shall pronounce them clean. They must wash their clothes, and they will be clean.(AD) 35 But if the sore does spread in the skin after they are pronounced clean, 36 the priest is to examine them, and if he finds that the sore has spread in the skin, he does not need to look for yellow hair; they are unclean.(AE) 37 If, however, the sore is unchanged so far as the priest can see, and if black hair has grown in it, the affected person is healed. They are clean, and the priest shall pronounce them clean.

38 “When a man or woman has white spots on the skin, 39 the priest is to examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; they are clean.

40 “A man who has lost his hair and is bald(AF) is clean. 41 If he has lost his hair from the front of his scalp and has a bald forehead, he is clean. 42 But if he has a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is a defiling disease breaking out on his head or forehead. 43 The priest is to examine him, and if the swollen sore on his head or forehead is reddish-white like a defiling skin disease, 44 the man is diseased and is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean because of the sore on his head.

45 “Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes,(AG) let their hair be unkempt,[c] cover the lower part of their face(AH) and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’(AI) 46 As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.(AJ)

Regulations About Defiling Molds

47 “As for any fabric that is spoiled with a defiling mold—any woolen or linen clothing, 48 any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather— 49 if the affected area in the fabric, the leather, the woven or knitted material, or any leather article, is greenish or reddish, it is a defiling mold and must be shown to the priest.(AK) 50 The priest is to examine the affected area(AL) and isolate the article for seven days. 51 On the seventh day he is to examine it,(AM) and if the mold has spread in the fabric, the woven or knitted material, or the leather, whatever its use, it is a persistent defiling mold; the article is unclean.(AN) 52 He must burn the fabric, the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or any leather article that has been spoiled; because the defiling mold is persistent, the article must be burned.(AO)

53 “But if, when the priest examines it, the mold has not spread in the fabric, the woven or knitted material, or the leather article, 54 he shall order that the spoiled article be washed. Then he is to isolate it for another seven days. 55 After the article has been washed, the priest is to examine it again, and if the mold has not changed its appearance, even though it has not spread, it is unclean. Burn it, no matter which side of the fabric has been spoiled. 56 If, when the priest examines it, the mold has faded after the article has been washed, he is to tear the spoiled part out of the fabric, the leather, or the woven or knitted material. 57 But if it reappears in the fabric, in the woven or knitted material, or in the leather article, it is a spreading mold; whatever has the mold must be burned. 58 Any fabric, woven or knitted material, or any leather article that has been washed and is rid of the mold, must be washed again. Then it will be clean.”

59 These are the regulations concerning defiling molds in woolen or linen clothing, woven or knitted material, or any leather article, for pronouncing them clean or unclean.

Skin Diseases

13 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 2 “When a person has a swelling,[a] scab,[b] or spot on the skin of his body, and it becomes a disease on the skin(A) of his body, he is to be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests. 3 The priest will examine the infection(B) on the skin of his body. If the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean. 4 But if the spot on the skin of his body is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest must quarantine the infected person for seven days.(C) 5 The priest will then reexamine him on the seventh day. If he sees that the infection remains unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must quarantine him for another seven days. 6 The priest will examine him again on the seventh day. If the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean;(D) it is a scab. The person is to wash his clothes and will become clean. 7 But if the scab spreads further on his skin after he has presented himself to the priest for his cleansing,(E) he must present himself again to the priest. 8 The priest will examine him, and if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.

9 “When a skin disease develops on a person, he is to be brought to the priest. 10 The priest will examine him. If there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is a patch of raw flesh in the swelling, 11 it is a chronic disease on the skin of his body, and the priest must pronounce him unclean.(F) He need not quarantine him, for he is unclean. 12 But if the skin disease breaks out all over the skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from his head to his feet so far as the priest can see, 13 the priest will look, and if the skin disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean.(G) Since he has turned totally white, he is clean. 14 But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he will be unclean. 15 When the priest examines the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. Raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease. 16 But if the raw flesh changes[c] and[d] turns white, he must go to the priest. 17 The priest will examine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest must pronounce the infected person clean; he is clean.

18 “When a boil appears on the skin(H) of one’s body(I) and it heals, 19 and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, the person must present himself to the priest. 20 The priest will make an examination, and if the spot seems to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease that has broken out in the boil. 21 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin but is faded, the priest must quarantine him seven days. 22 If it spreads further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection. 23 But if the spot remains where it is and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil. The priest is to pronounce him clean.

24 “When there is a burn on the skin of one’s body produced by fire, and the patch made raw by the burn becomes reddish-white or white, 25 the priest is to examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease. 26 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in the spot and it is not beneath the skin but is faded, the priest must quarantine him seven days. 27 The priest will reexamine him on the seventh day. If it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease. 28 But if the spot has remained where it was and has not spread on the skin but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn. The priest is to pronounce him clean, for it is only the scar from the burn.

29 “When a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin, 30 the priest must examine the infection. If it appears to be deeper than the skin,(J) and the hair in it is yellow and sparse, the priest must pronounce the person unclean. It is a scaly outbreak,[e] a skin disease of the head or chin. 31 When the priest examines the scaly infection, if it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest must quarantine the person with the scaly infection for seven days. 32 The priest will reexamine the infection on the seventh day. If the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, 33 the person must shave himself(K) but not shave the scaly area. Then the priest must quarantine the person who has the scaly outbreak for another seven days. 34 The priest will examine the scaly outbreak on the seventh day, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce the person clean. He is to wash his clothes, and he will be clean. 35 But if the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing, 36 the priest is to examine the person. If the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair; the person is unclean. 37 But if as far as he can see, the scaly outbreak remains unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed; he is clean. The priest is to pronounce the person clean.

38 “When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin of the body, 39 the priest is to make an examination. If the spots on the skin of the body are dull white, it is only a rash[f] that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

40 “If a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald,(L) but he is clean. 41 Or if he loses the hair at his hairline, he is bald on his forehead, but he is clean. 42 But if there is a reddish-white infection on the bald head or forehead, it is a skin disease breaking out on his head or forehead.(M) 43 The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white, like the appearance of a skin disease on his body, 44 the man is afflicted with a skin disease;(N) he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean; the infection is on his head.

45 “The person afflicted with an infectious skin disease is to have his clothes torn(O) and his hair hanging loose, and he must cover his mouth(P) and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ 46 He will remain unclean as long as he has the infection; he is unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.(Q)

Contaminated Fabrics

47 “If a fabric is contaminated with mildew—in wool or linen fabric, 48 in the warp or woof of linen or wool, or in leather or anything made of leather— 49 and if the contamination is green or red in the fabric, the leather, the warp, the woof, or any leather article, it is a mildew contamination and is to be shown to the priest. 50 The priest is to examine the contamination and quarantine the contaminated fabric for seven days. 51 The priest is to reexamine the contamination on the seventh day. If it has spread in the fabric, the warp, the woof, or the leather, regardless of how it is used, the contamination is harmful mildew; it is unclean.(R) 52 He is to burn the fabric, the warp or woof in wool or linen, or any leather article, which is contaminated. Since it is harmful mildew it must be burned up.

53 “When the priest examines it, if the contamination has not spread in the fabric, the warp or woof, or any leather article, 54 the priest is to order whatever is contaminated to be washed and quarantined for another seven days. 55 After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine the contamination. If the appearance of the contaminated article has not changed, it is unclean. Even though the contamination has not spread, you must burn up the fabric. It is a fungus[g] on the front or back of the fabric.

56 “If the priest examines it, and the contamination has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, the leather, or the warp or woof. 57 But if it reappears in the fabric, the warp or woof, or any leather article, it has broken out again. You must burn up whatever is contaminated. 58 But if the contamination disappears from the fabric, the warp or woof, or any leather article, which have been washed, it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.

59 “This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, warp or woof, or any leather article, in order to pronounce it clean or unclean.”(S)

The Law Concerning Leprosy

13 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 “When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, (A)a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body like a [a]leprous sore, (B)then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 3 The priest shall examine the sore on the skin of the body; and if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. Then the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him [b]unclean. 4 But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body, and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate the one who has the sore (C)seven days. 5 And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day; and indeed if the sore appears to be as it was, and the sore has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall isolate him another seven days. 6 Then the priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and indeed if the sore has faded, and the sore has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a scab, and he (D)shall wash his clothes and be clean. 7 But if the scab should at all spread over the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again. 8 And if the priest sees that the scab has indeed spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him [c]unclean. It is leprosy.

9 “When the leprous sore is on a person, then he shall be brought to the priest. 10 (E)And the priest shall examine him; and indeed if the swelling on the skin is white, and it has turned the hair white, and there is a spot of raw flesh in the swelling, 11 it is an old leprosy on the skin of his body. The priest shall pronounce him [d]unclean, and shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.

12 “And if leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the one who has the sore, from his head to his foot, wherever the priest looks, 13 then the priest shall consider; and indeed if the leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce him clean who has the sore. It has all turned (F)white. He is clean. 14 But when raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean. 15 And the priest shall examine the raw flesh and pronounce him to be unclean; for the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh changes and turns white again, he shall come to the priest. 17 And the priest shall examine him; and indeed if the sore has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean who has the sore. He is clean.

18 “If the body develops a (G)boil in the skin, and it is healed, 19 and in the place of the boil there comes a white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest; 20 and if, when the priest sees it, it indeed appears deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore which has broken out of the boil. 21 But if the priest examines it, and indeed there are no white hairs in it, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days; 22 and if it should at all spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a [e]leprous sore. 23 But if the bright spot stays in one place, and has not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 “Or if the body receives a (H)burn on its skin by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white or white, 25 then the priest shall examine it; and indeed if the hair of the bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is leprosy broken out in the burn. Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore. 26 But if the priest examines it, and indeed there are no white hairs in the bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days. 27 And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has at all spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore. 28 But if the bright spot stays in one place, and has not spread on the skin, but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn. The priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.

29 “If a man or woman has a sore on the head or the beard, 30 then the priest shall examine the sore; and indeed if it appears deeper than the skin, and there is in it thin yellow hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a scaly leprosy of the head or beard. 31 But if the priest examines the scaly sore, and indeed it does not appear deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the one who has the scale seven days. 32 And on the seventh day the priest shall examine the sore; and indeed if the scale has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the scale does not appear deeper than the skin, 33 he shall shave himself, but the scale he shall not shave. And the priest shall isolate the one who has the scale another seven days. 34 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scale; and indeed if the scale has not spread over the skin, and does not appear deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean. 35 But if the scale should at all spread over the skin after his cleansing, 36 then the priest shall examine him; and indeed if the scale has spread over the skin, the priest need not seek for yellow hair. He is unclean. 37 But if the scale appears to be at a standstill, and there is black hair grown up in it, the scale has healed. He is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 “If a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of the body, specifically white bright spots, 39 then the priest shall look; and indeed if the bright spots on the skin of the body are dull white, it is a white spot that grows on the skin. He is clean.

40 “As for the man whose hair has fallen from his head, he is bald, but he is clean. 41 He whose hair has fallen from his forehead, he is bald on the forehead, but he is clean. 42 And if there is on the bald head or bald (I)forehead a reddish-white sore, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead. 43 Then the priest shall examine it; and indeed if the swelling of the sore is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the body, 44 he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him [f]unclean; his sore is on his (J)head.

45 “Now the leper on whom the sore is, his clothes shall be torn and his head (K)bare; and he shall (L)cover his mustache, and cry, (M)‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 46 He shall be unclean. All the days he has the sore he shall be unclean. He is unclean, and he shall [g]dwell alone; his dwelling shall be (N)outside the camp.

The Law Concerning Leprous Garments

47 “Also, if a garment has a [h]leprous plague in it, whether it is a woolen garment or a linen garment, 48 whether it is in the warp or woof of linen or wool, whether in leather or in anything made of leather, 49 and if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of leather, it is a leprous [i]plague and shall be shown to the priest. 50 The priest shall examine the plague and isolate that which has the plague seven days. 51 And he shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, in the leather or in anything made of leather, the plague is (O)an active leprosy. It is unclean. 52 He shall therefore burn that garment in which is the plague, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, for it is an active leprosy; the garment shall be burned in the fire.

53 “But if the priest examines it, and indeed the plague has not spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of leather, 54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which is the plague; and he shall isolate it another seven days. 55 Then the priest shall examine the plague after it has been washed; and indeed if the plague has not changed its color, though the plague has not spread, it is unclean, and you shall burn it in the fire; it continues eating away, whether the damage is outside or inside. 56 If the priest examines it, and indeed the plague has faded after washing it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, whether out of the warp or out of the woof, or out of the leather. 57 But if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of leather, it is a spreading plague; you shall burn with fire that in which is the plague. 58 And if you wash the garment, either warp or woof, or whatever is made of leather, if the plague has disappeared from it, then it shall be washed a second time, and shall be clean.

59 “This is the law of the leprous plague in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp or woof, or in anything made of leather, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
