Par 

40 And the man whose heere is fallen of his head, he is baulde, yet cleane.

41 And he that hath his heere fallen of on the part of his head towarde his face, is forehead baulde, yet cleane.

42 If there be in ye baulde head or baulde forehead a whyte reddishe sore, there is leprosie sprong vp in his baulde head or baulde forehead.

43 And the priest shall loke vpon hym: & yf the rysyng of the sore be whyte reddishe in his baulde head or baulde forehead, after the maner of leprosie which is in the skynne of the fleshe,

44 Then he is a leprous man & vncleane: And the priest shal make him vncleane, for the plague therof is in his head.

45 The leper in whom the plague is, shal haue his clothes rent, & his head bare, & shall put a coueryng vpon his lippes, and shall crye: vncleane, vncleane.

46 And as long as the disease lasteth vpon hym, he shalbe defiled and vncleane: he shall dwell alone, euen without the campe shall his habitation be.

47 The garment also that the plague of leprosie is in, whether it be a woollen garment or a lynnen garment,

48 Whether it be in the warpe or woofe of lynnen or of woollen, either in a skin, or any thyng made of skynne:

49 If the disease be light greene, or somewhat reddishe in the garmet or skinne, whether it be in the warpe or woofe, or any thyng that is made of skinne: then it is a plague of leprosie, & shalbe shewed vnto the priest.

50 The priest therfore shal see the plague, and shut it vp seuen dayes.

51 And he shall loke on the plague the seuenth day: which, yf it be increased in the garment, whether it be in ye warpe or woofe, or in a skinne, or in any thyng that is made of skinne, it is the leprosie of a frettyng sore, it is vncleane.

52 And he shall burne that garment, eyther warpe or woofe, whether it be woollen or lynnen, or any thyng that is made of skinne wherin the plague is, for it is a frettyng leprosie, it shalbe burnt in the fire.

53 If the priest see that the plague is not growen in the garment, either in the warpe or woofe, or in whatsoeuer thing of skinne it be,

54 The priest shall commaunde them to washe the thyng wherin the plague is, and he shall shut it vp seuen dayes mo.

55 And the priest shall loke on the plague agayne after that it is wasshed: and yf the plague haue not chaunged his colour, and is spread no further abrode, it is vncleane, thou shalt burne it in the fire: for it is fret inwarde, whether it be bauld behynd in the head or before.

56 And yf the priest see that the plague is darker after that is is wasshed, he shall cut it out of the garment or out of the skinne, or out of the warpe, or out of the woofe.

57 And yf it appeare styll in the garment, either in the warpe, or in the woofe, or in any thyng made of skinne: it is a spreadyng plague, thou shalt burne that wherin the plague is, with fire.

58 Moreouer the garment, either warpe or woofe, or whatsoeuer thing of skinne it be which thou hast wasshed, yf the plague be departed therfrom, it shalbe wasshed once agayne, and then it shalbe cleane.

59 This is the lawe of the plague of leprosie in a garment whether it be woolen or lynnen, either in the warpe or woofe, or in any thyng of skinnes, to make it cleane or vncleane.
