Leviticus 13:2-28

2“If anyone has a sore, a rash, or an irritated area on his skin that turns into an infectious skin disease, he must be taken to the priest Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests.

3The priest will examine the disease. If the hair in the diseased area has turned white, and the diseased area looks deeper than the rest of his skin, it is an infectious skin disease. When the priest has examined him, he must declare him unclean.

4But if the irritated area is white and does not look deeper than the rest of the skin, and the hair has not turned white, the priest must put him in isolation for seven days.

5On the seventh day the priest will examine him again. If the disease looks the same and has not spread, the priest must put him in isolation for another seven days.

6On the seventh day the priest will examine him again. If the diseased area has faded and not spread, the priest must declare him clean. It is only a rash. The person must wash his clothes and will be clean.

7But if the rash has spread after he has shown himself to the priest to be declared clean, he must show himself to the priest again.

8The priest will examine him one more time, and if the rash has spread, the priest must declare him unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.

9“If anyone has an infectious skin disease, he must be taken to the priest.

10The priest will examine him. If there is a white sore that has turned the hair white, and if there is raw flesh in the sore,

11he has a chronic skin disease. Without putting him in isolation, the priest must declare him unclean because he is unclean.

12If skin disease develops and covers the whole person from head to foot (so far as the priest can see),

13the priest will examine him. If the disease does cover his whole body, the priest must declare the diseased person clean. His body has turned white. The person is clean.

14But if raw flesh appears, he will be unclean.

15The priest will examine the raw flesh and declare him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.

16But if the raw flesh turns white again, he must go to the priest.

17The priest will examine him again, and if the diseased area has turned white, the priest must declare the diseased person clean. He is clean.

18“If a boil on the skin has healed

19and in its place there is a white sore or a pink area, it must be shown to the priest.

20The priest will examine it. If it looks deeper than the rest of the skin and its hair has turned white, the priest must declare the person unclean. An infectious skin disease has developed in the boil.

21But if the priest examines the affected area and the hair in it is not white or the affected area is not deeper than the rest of the skin but has faded, the priest must put him in isolation for seven days.

22If the area has spread, the priest must declare him unclean. It is a skin disease.

23But if the irritated area has not spread, it is a scar caused by the boil. The priest must declare him clean.

24“If anyone has a burn on his skin and the raw flesh of the burn turns into a pink or bright white area,

25the priest will examine it. If the hair on the affected area has turned white and the affected area looks deeper than the rest of the skin, an infectious skin disease has developed in the burn. The priest must declare him unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.

26But if the priest examines it and the hair in it is not white and the affected area is not deeper than the rest of the skin but has faded, the priest must put him in isolation for seven days.

27On the seventh day the priest will examine him again. If the area has spread, the priest must declare him unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.

28If the irritated area does not spread but has faded, it is only a sore caused by the burn. The priest must declare him clean, because it is a scar caused by the burn.
