Chapter 13
|
1
|
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, |
2
|
When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising,
a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh
like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto
Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests: |
3
|
And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of
the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white,
and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his
flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall
look on him, and pronounce him unclean. |
4
|
If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh,
and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair
thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut
up him that hath the plague seven days: |
5
|
And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and,
behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the
plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut
him up seven days more: |
6
|
And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day:
and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague
spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him
clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes,
and be clean. |
7
|
But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after
that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing,
he shall be seen of the priest again. |
8
|
And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth
in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is a leprosy. |
9
|
When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall
be brought unto the priest; |
10
|
And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising
be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white,
and there be quick raw flesh in the rising; |
11
|
It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the
priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut
him up: for he is unclean. |
12
|
And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the
leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague
from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest
looketh; |
13
|
Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy
have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean
that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean. |
14
|
But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. |
15
|
And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce
him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is
a leprosy. |
16
|
Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white,
he shall come unto the priest; |
17
|
And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague
be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him
clean that hath the plague: he is clean. |
18
|
The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was
a boil, and is healed, |
19
|
And in the place of the boil there be a white rising,
or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be
showed to the priest; |
20
|
And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight
lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white;
the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague
of leprosy broken out of the boil. |
21
|
But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no
white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin,
but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up
seven days: |
22
|
And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague. |
23
|
But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread
not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce
him clean. |
24
|
Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is
a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a
white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white; |
25
|
Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the
hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight
deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the
burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is the plague of leprosy. |
26
|
But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no
white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than
the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall
shut him up seven days: |
27
|
And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and
if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. |
28
|
And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread
not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising
of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean:
for it is an inflammation of the burning. |
29
|
If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the
beard; |
30
|
Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if
it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it
a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head
or beard. |
31
|
And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and,
behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that
there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut
up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days: |
32
|
And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague:
and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it
no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than
the skin; |
33
|
He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave;
and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven
days more: |
34
|
And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall:
and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor
be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall
pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and
be clean. |
35
|
But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing; |
36
|
Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the
scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek
for yellow hair; he is unclean. |
37
|
But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that
there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed,
he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean. |
38
|
If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh
bright spots, even white bright spots; |
39
|
Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright
spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is
a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean. |
40
|
And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is
bald; yet is he clean. |
41
|
And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of
his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he
clean. |
42
|
And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a
white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald
head, or his bald forehead. |
43
|
Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the
rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or
in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin
of the flesh; |
44
|
He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall
pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head. |
45
|
And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall
be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering
upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. |
46
|
All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall
be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without
the camp shall his habitation be. |
47
|
The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether
it be a woolen garment, or a linen garment; |
48
|
Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woolen;
whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; |
49
|
And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment,
or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or
in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall
be showed unto the priest: |
50
|
And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up
it that hath the plague seven days: |
51
|
And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if
the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp,
or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made
of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean. |
52
|
He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or
woof, in woolen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein
the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be
burnt in the fire. |
53
|
And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague
be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in
the woof, or in any thing of skin; |
54
|
Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing
wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days
more: |
55
|
And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it
is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed
his color, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean;
thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether
it be bare within or without. |
56
|
And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat
dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out
of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp,
or out of the woof: |
57
|
And if it appear still in the garment, either in the
warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a
spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague
is with fire. |
58
|
And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever
thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague
be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second
time, and shall be clean. |
59
|
This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment
of woolen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any
thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce
it unclean. |
