| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that could become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17The priest will reexamine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the infected person clean; then he is clean. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals, |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white, |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin, |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30the priest shall examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a scaly outbreak, an infectious disease of the head or chin. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31But if the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine the infection, and 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing, |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin, |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease, |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47If any fabric is contaminated with mildew—any wool or linen garment, |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather— |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather. Since the mildew is harmful, the article must be burned up. |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article, |
| 54[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 54the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days. |
| 55[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 55After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine it, and if the mildewed article has not changed in appearance, it is unclean. Even though the mildew has not spread, you must burn it, whether the rot is on the front or back. |
| 56[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 56If the priest examines it and the mildew has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, leather, weave, or knit. |
| 57[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 57But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article. |
| 58[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 58If the mildew disappears from the fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean. |
| 59[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 59This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.” |
