| 1The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron: | 1Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, |
| 2"When someone has a swelling or a scab or a bright spot on the skin of his body that may become a diseased infection, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or one of his sons, the priests. | 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. |
| 3The priest must then examine the infection on the skin of the body, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of the body, then it is a diseased infection, so when the priest examines it he must pronounce the person unclean. | 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"If it is a white bright spot on the skin of his body, but it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair has not turned white, then the priest is to quarantine the person with the infection for seven days. | 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. |
| 5The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if, as far as he can see, the infection has stayed the same and has not spread on the skin, then the priest is to quarantine the person for another seven days. | 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. |
| 6The priest must then examine it again on the seventh day, and if the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person clean. It is a scab, so he must wash his clothes and be clean. | 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. |
| 7If, however, the scab is spreading further on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his purification, then he must show himself to the priest a second time. | 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. |
| 8The priest must then examine it, and if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. It is a disease. | 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"When someone has a diseased infection, he must be brought to the priest. | 9When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest. |
| 10The priest will then examine it, and if a white swelling is on the skin, it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling, | 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, |
| 11it is a chronic disease on the skin of his body, so the priest is to pronounce him unclean. The priest must not merely quarantine him, for he is unclean. | 11it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean. |
| 12If, however, the disease breaks out on the skin so that the disease covers all the skin of the person with the infection from his head to his feet, as far as the priest can see, | 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, |
| 13the priest must then examine it, and if the disease covers his whole body, he is to pronounce the person with the infection clean. He has turned all white, so he is clean. | 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. |
| 14But whenever raw flesh appears in it he will be unclean, | 14But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean. |
| 15so the priest is to examine the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean--it is diseased. | 15When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease. |
| 16If, however, the raw flesh once again turns white, then he must come to the priest. | 16But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest. |
| 17The priest will then examine it, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the person with the infection clean--he is clean. | 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"When someone's body has a boil on its skin and it heals, | 18When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals, |
| 19and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a reddish white bright spot, he must show himself to the priest. | 19and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest. |
| 20The priest will then examine it, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and its hair has turned white, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. It is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil. | 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. |
| 21If, however, the priest examines it, and there is no white hair in it, it is not deeper than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days. | 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. |
| 22If it is spreading further on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean. It is an infection. | 22If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection. |
| 23But if the bright spot stays in its place and has not spread, it is the scar of the boil, so the priest is to pronounce him clean. | 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"When a body has a burn on its skin and the raw area of the burn becomes a reddish white or white bright spot, | 24When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white, |
| 25the priest must examine it, and if the hair has turned white in the bright spot and it appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest is to pronounce the person unclean. It is a diseased infection. | 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. |
| 26If, however, the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the bright spot, it is not deeper than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days. | 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. |
| 27The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if it is spreading further on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean. It is a diseased infection. | 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. |
| 28But if the bright spot stays in its place, has not spread on the skin, and it has faded, then it is the swelling of the burn, so the priest is to pronounce him clean, because it is the scar of the burn. | 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"When a man or a woman has an infection on the head or in the beard, | 29If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin, |
| 30the priest is to examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is reddish yellow and thin, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. It is scall, a disease of the head or the beard. | 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. |
| 31But if the priest examines the scall infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest is to quarantine the person with the scall infection for seven days. | 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. |
| 32The priest must then examine the infection on the seventh day, and if the scall has not spread, there is no reddish yellow hair in it, and the scall does not appear to be deeper than the skin, | 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, |
| 33then the individual is to shave himself, but he must not shave the area affected by the scall, and the priest is to quarantine the person with the scall for another seven days. | 33then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days. |
| 34The priest must then examine the scall on the seventh day, and if the scall has not spread on the skin and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him clean. So he is to wash his clothes and be clean. | 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. |
| 35If, however, the scall spreads further on the skin after his purification, | 35If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing, |
| 36then the priest is to examine it, and if the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair. The person is unclean. | 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. |
| 37If, as far as the priest can see, the scall has stayed the same and black hair has sprouted in it, the scall has been healed; the person is clean. So the priest is to pronounce him clean. | 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"When a man or a woman has bright spots--white bright spots--on the skin of their body, | 38When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin, |
| 39the priest is to examine them, and if the bright spots on the skin of their body are faded white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin. The person is clean. | 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"When a man's head is bare so that he is balding in back, he is clean. | 40Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean. |
| 41If his head is bare on the forehead so that he is balding in front, he is clean. | 41Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean. |
| 42But if there is a reddish white infection in the back or front bald area, it is a disease breaking out in his back or front bald area. | 42But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it. |
| 43The priest is to examine it, and if the swelling of the infection is reddish white in the back or front bald area like the appearance of a disease on the skin of the body, | 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, |
| 44he is a diseased man. He is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his infection on his head. | 44the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head. |
| 45"As for the diseased person who has the infection, his clothes must be torn, the hair of his head must be unbound, he must cover his mustache, and he must call out 'Unclean! Unclean!' | 45A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ |
| 46The whole time he has the infection he will be continually unclean. He must live in isolation, and his place of residence must be outside the camp. | 46As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp. |
| 47"When a garment has a diseased infection in it, whether a wool or linen garment, | 47If any fabric is contaminated with mildew—any wool or linen garment, |
| 48or in the warp or woof of the linen or the wool, or in leather or anything made of leather, | 48any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather— |
| 49if the infection in the garment or leather or warp or woof or any article of leather is yellowish green or reddish, it is a diseased infection and it must be shown to the priest. | 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. |
| 50The priest is to examine and then quarantine the article with the infection for seven days. | 50And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days. |
| 51He must then examine the infection on the seventh day. If the infection has spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the leather--whatever the article into which the leather was made--the infection is a malignant disease. It is unclean. | 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. |
| 52He must burn the garment or the warp or the woof, whether wool or linen, or any article of leather which has the infection in it. Because it is a malignant disease it must be burned up in the fire. | 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. |
| 53But if the priest examines it and the infection has not spread in the garment or in the warp or in the woof or in any article of leather, | 53But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article, |
| 54the priest is to command that they wash whatever has the infection and quarantine it for another seven days. | 54the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days. |
| 55The priest must then examine it after the infection has been washed out, and if the infection has not changed its appearance even though the infection has not spread, it is unclean. You must burn it up in the fire. It is a fungus, whether on the back side or front side of the article. | 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. |
| 56But if the priest has examined it and the infection has faded after it has been washed, he is to tear it out of the garment or the leather or the warp or the woof. | 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. |
| 57Then if it still appears again in the garment or the warp or the woof, or in any article of leather, it is an outbreak. Whatever has the infection in it you must burn up in the fire. | 57But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article. |
| 58But the garment or the warp or the woof or any article of leather which you wash and infection disappears from it is to be washed a second time and it will be clean." | 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. |
| 59This is the law of the diseased infection in the garment of wool or linen, or the warp or woof, or any article of leather, for pronouncing it clean or unclean. | 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.” |
