Leviticus 13:1-17
1Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H413 and AaronH175H559, 2“WhenH3588 someoneH120 hasH1961 a swellingH7613 orH176 rashH5597 orH176 bright spotH934 on his skinH5785H1320 that may beH1961 an infectiousH6883 skinH5785H1320 diseaseH5061,1 he must be broughtH935 toH413 AaronH175 the priestH3548 orH176 toH413 oneH259 of his sonsH1121 who is a priestH3548.
3The priestH3548 is to examineH7200 the infectionH5061 on his skinH5785H1320, and if the hairH8181 in the infectionH5061 has turnedH2015 whiteH3836 and the soreH5061 appearsH4758 to be deeperH6013 than the skinH5785H1320H5061, itH1931 is a skin diseaseH6883. After the priestH3548 examines himH7200, he must pronounce him uncleanH2930.
4If, howeverH518, the spotH934 on his skinH5785H1320 is whiteH3836H1931 and does notH369 appearH4758 to be deeperH6013 thanH4480 the skinH5785, and the hair in itH8181 has notH3808 turnedH2015 whiteH3836, the priestH3548 shall isolateH5462 the infected personH5061 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 5On the seventhH7637 dayH3117 the priestH3548 is to reexamine himH7200, and ifH2009 he seesH5869 that the infectionH5061 is unchangedH5975 and has notH3808 spreadH6581H5061 on the skinH5785, the priestH3548 must isolate himH5462 for anotherH8145 sevenH7651 daysH3117. 6The priestH3548 will examine himH7200 againH8145 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, and ifH2009 the soreH5061 has fadedH3543 and has notH3808 spreadH6581H5061 on the skinH5785, the priestH3548 shall pronounce him cleanH2891; itH1931 is a rashH4556. The person must washH3526 his clothesH899 and be cleanH2891.
7But ifH518 the rashH4556 spreads furtherH6581 on his skinH5785 afterH310 he has shown himselfH7200 toH413 the priestH3548 for his cleansingH2893, he must present himselfH7200 againH8145 toH413 the priestH3548. 8The priestH3548 will reexamine himH7200, and ifH2009 the rashH4556 has spreadH6581 on the skinH5785, the priestH3548 must pronounce him uncleanH2930; itH1931 is a skin diseaseH6883.
9WhenH3588 anyoneH120 developsH1961 a skin diseaseH5061, he must be broughtH935 toH413 the priestH3548. 10The priestH3548 will examine himH7200, and ifH2009 there is a whiteH3836 swellingH7613 on the skinH5785 thatH1931 has turnedH2015 the hairH8181 whiteH3836H4241, and there is rawH2416 fleshH1320 in the swellingH7613, 11itH1931 is a chronicH3462 skin diseaseH6883H5785H1320 and the priestH3548 must pronounce him uncleanH2930. He need notH3808 isolate himH5462, forH3588 heH1931 is uncleanH2931.
12But ifH518 the skin diseaseH6883 breaks outH6524 all over his skinH5785 so that itH6883 coversH3680 allH3605 the skinH5785 of the infected personH5061 from headH7218 toH5704 footH7272H3605, as far as the priestH3548 can seeH4758H5869, 13the priestH3548 shall examine himH7200, and ifH2009 the diseaseH6883 has coveredH3680 his entireH3605 bodyH1320, he is to pronounce the infected personH5061 cleanH2891. Since it has all turnedH2015H3605 whiteH3836, heH1931 is cleanH2889.
14But wheneverH3117 rawH2416 fleshH1320 appearsH7200 on someone, he will be uncleanH2930. 15When the priestH3548 seesH7200 the rawH2416 fleshH1320, he must pronounce him uncleanH2930. The rawH2416 fleshH1320 is uncleanH2931; itH1931 is a skin diseaseH6883H1931. 16ButH176 ifH3588 the rawH2416 fleshH1320 changesH7725 and turnsH2015 whiteH3836, he must goH935 toH413 the priestH3548. 17The priestH3548 will reexamine himH7200, and ifH2009 the infectionH5061 has turnedH2015 whiteH3836, the priestH3548 is to pronounce the infected personH5061 cleanH2891; then heH1931 is cleanH2889.
