2When a manH120 shall have in the skinH5785 of his fleshH1320 a rising, or a scab, or a brightH934 spotH934, and it becomeH1961 in the skinH5785 of his fleshH1320 the plagueH5061 of leprosy, then he shall beH1961 broughtH935 unto AaronH175 the priestH3548, or unto oneH259 of his sonsH1121 the priestsH3548: 3and the priestH3548 shall lookH7200 on the plagueH5061 in the skinH5785 of the fleshH1320: and if the hairH8181 in the plagueH5061 be turnedH2015 whiteH3836, and the appearanceH4758 of the plagueH5061 be deeperH6013 than the skinH5785 of his fleshH1320, it is the plagueH5061 of leprosy; and the priestH3548 shall lookH7200 on him, and pronounce him uncleanH2930. 4And if the brightH934 spotH934 be whiteH3836 in the skinH5785 of his fleshH1320, and the appearanceH4758 thereof be not deeperH6013 than the skinH5785, and the hairH8181 thereof be not turnedH2015 whiteH3836, then the priestH3548 shall shutH5462 up him that hath the plagueH5061 sevenH7651 daysH3117: 5and the priestH3548 shall look on him the seventhH7637 dayH3117: and, behold, if in his eyesH5869 the plagueH5061 be at a stay, and the plagueH5061 be not spreadH6581 in the skinH5785, then the priestH3548 shall shutH5462 him up sevenH7651 daysH3117 more: 6and the priestH3548 shall look on him again the seventhH7637 dayH3117; and, behold, if the plagueH5061 be dimH3544, and the plagueH5061 be not spreadH6581 in the skinH5785, then the priestH3548 shall pronounce him cleanH2891: it is a scab: and he shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be cleanH2891. 7But if the scab spreadH6581 abroad in the skinH5785, after that he hath showedH7200 himself to the priestH3548 for his cleansing, he shall showH7200 himself to the priestH3548 again: 8and the priestH3548 shall look; and, behold, if the scab be spreadH6581 in the skinH5785, then the priestH3548 shall pronounce him uncleanH2930: it is leprosy.
9When the plagueH5061 of leprosy isH1961 in a manH120, then he shall beH1961 broughtH935 unto the priestH3548; 10and the priestH3548 shall look; and, behold, if there be a whiteH3836 rising in the skinH5785, and it have turnedH2015 the hairH8181 whiteH3836, and there be quick rawH4241 fleshH1320 in the rising, 11it is an old leprosy in the skinH5785 of his fleshH1320, and the priestH3548 shall pronounce him uncleanH2931: he shall not shutH5462 him up; for he is uncleanH2931. 12And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skinH5785, and the leprosy coverH3680 all the skinH5785 of him that hath the plagueH5061 from his headH7218 even to his feetH7272, as far as appeareth to the priestH3548; 13then the priestH3548 shall look; and, behold, if the leprosy have coveredH3680 all his fleshH1320, he shall pronounce him cleanH2889 that hath the plagueH5061: it is all turnedH2015 whiteH3836: he is cleanH2889. 14But whensoever raw fleshH1320 appeareth in him, he shall be uncleanH2930. 15And the priestH3548 shall lookH7200 on the raw fleshH1320, and pronounce him uncleanH2931: the raw fleshH1320 is uncleanH2931: it is leprosy. 16Or if the raw fleshH1320 turnH7725 again, and be changedH2015 unto whiteH3836, then he shall comeH935 unto the priestH3548; 17and the priestH3548 shall look on him; and, behold, if the plagueH5061 be turnedH2015 into whiteH3836, then the priestH3548 shall pronounce him cleanH2889 that hath the plagueH5061: he is cleanH2889.
18And when the fleshH1320 hath in the skinH5785 thereof a boilH7822, and it is healedH7495, 19and in the placeH4725 of the boilH7822 there isH1961 a whiteH3836 rising, or a brightH934 spotH934, reddish-white, then it shall beH1961 showedH7200 to the priestH3548; 20and the priestH3548 shall look; and, behold, if the appearanceH4758 thereof be lowerH8217 than the skinH5785, and the hairH8181 thereof be turnedH2015 whiteH3836, then the priestH3548 shall pronounce him uncleanH2930: it is the plagueH5061 of leprosy, it hath broken out in the boilH7822. 21But if the priestH3548 look on it, and, behold, there be no whiteH3836 hairsH8181 therein, and it be not lowerH8217 than the skinH5785, but be dimH3544; then the priestH3548 shall shutH5462 him up sevenH7651 daysH3117: 22and if it spreadH6581 abroad in the skinH5785, then the priestH3548 shall pronounce him uncleanH2930: it is a plagueH5061. 23But if the brightH934 spotH934 stay in its placeH8478, and be not spreadH6581, it is the scarH6867 of the boilH7822; and the priestH3548 shall pronounce him cleanH2891.
24Or when the fleshH1320 hath in the skinH5785 thereof a burning by fireH784, and the quick fleshH1320 of the burning becomeH1961 a brightH934 spotH934, reddish-white, or whiteH3836; 25then the priestH3548 shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hairH8181 in the brightH934 spotH934 be turnedH2015 whiteH3836, and the appearanceH4758 thereof be deeperH6013 than the skinH5785; it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning: and the priestH3548 shall pronounce him uncleanH2930: it is the plagueH5061 of leprosy. 26But if the priestH3548 look on it, and, behold, there be no whiteH3836 hairH8181 in the brightH934 spotH934, and it be no lowerH8217 than the skinH5785, but be dimH3544; then the priestH3548 shall shutH5462 him up sevenH7651 daysH3117: 27and the priestH3548 shall lookH7200 upon him the seventhH7637 dayH3117: if it spreadH6581 abroad in the skinH5785, then the priestH3548 shall pronounce him uncleanH2930: it is the plagueH5061 of leprosy. 28And if the brightH934 spotH934 stay in its placeH8478, and be not spreadH6581 in the skinH5785, but be dimH3544; it is the rising of the burning, and the priestH3548 shall pronounce him cleanH2891: for it is the scarH6867 of the burning.
