Leviticus 13 : 1 (ERVEN)
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
Leviticus 13 : 2 (ERVEN)
"Someone might have a swelling on their skin, or it may be a rash or a bright spot. If the sore looks like the disease of leprosy, the person must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.
Leviticus 13 : 3 (ERVEN)
The priest must look at the sore on the person's skin. If the hair in the sore has become white, and if the sore seems deeper than the person's skin, it is leprosy. When the priest has finished looking at the person, he must announce that the person is unclean.
Leviticus 13 : 4 (ERVEN)
"Sometimes there is a white spot on a person's skin that does not seem deeper than the skin. If that is true, the priest must separate that person from other people for seven days.
Leviticus 13 : 5 (ERVEN)
On the seventh day the priest must look at the person again. If the priest sees that the sore has not changed and has not spread on the skin, he must separate the person for seven more days.
Leviticus 13 : 6 (ERVEN)
Seven days later the priest must look at the person again. If the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest must announce that the person is clean. The sore is only a rash. After washing the clothes, that person will be clean again.
Leviticus 13 : 7 (ERVEN)
"But if the rash spreads over the skin after the person has shown himself to the priest to be made clean again, that person must come again to the priest.
Leviticus 13 : 8 (ERVEN)
The priest must look, and if the rash has spread, he must announce that the person is unclean. The disease is leprosy.
Leviticus 13 : 9 (ERVEN)
"Whoever has leprosy must be brought to the priest.
Leviticus 13 : 10 (ERVEN)
He must look at that person. If there is a white swelling on the skin, if the hair has become white, and if the skin looks raw in the swelling,
Leviticus 13 : 11 (ERVEN)
it is leprosy that has been there for a long time. The priest must announce that the person is unclean. He does not have to wait until after a period of separation, because he already knows that the person is unclean.
Leviticus 13 : 12 (ERVEN)
"Sometimes a skin disease will spread all over a person's body, covering the skin from head to foot. The priest must look at that person's whole body.
Leviticus 13 : 13 (ERVEN)
If the priest sees that the skin disease covers the whole body and that it has turned all of the skin white, the priest must announce that the person is clean.
Leviticus 13 : 14 (ERVEN)
But if the skin is raw, that person is not clean.
Leviticus 13 : 15 (ERVEN)
When the priest sees the raw skin, he must announce that the person is unclean. The raw skin is not clean. It is leprosy.
Leviticus 13 : 16 (ERVEN)
"If the raw skin changes and becomes white, the person must come to the priest.
Leviticus 13 : 17 (ERVEN)
The priest must look at the person. If the skin has become white, the person who had the infection is clean, and the priest must announce this.
Leviticus 13 : 18 (ERVEN)
"Someone might get a boil on their skin that heals over.
Leviticus 13 : 19 (ERVEN)
Then that boil might become a white swelling or a bright, white spot with red streaks in it. If this happens, the person must show that spot to the priest.
Leviticus 13 : 20 (ERVEN)
The priest must look at it. If the swelling is deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has become white, the priest must announce that the person is unclean. The spot is leprosy that has broken out from inside the boil.
Leviticus 13 : 21 (ERVEN)
But if the priest looks at the spot, and there are no white hairs in it, and the spot is not deeper than the skin but is faded, the priest must separate the person for seven days.
Leviticus 13 : 22 (ERVEN)
If the spot spreads on the skin, the priest must announce that the person is unclean; it is an infection.
Leviticus 13 : 23 (ERVEN)
But if the bright spot stays in its place and does not spread, it is only the scar from the old boil. The priest must announce that the person is clean.
Leviticus 13 : 24 (ERVEN)
"Someone might get a burn on the skin. If the raw skin becomes a white spot or a white spot with red streaks in it, the priest must look at it. If that white spot seems to be deeper than the skin, and the hair at that spot has become white, it is leprosy that has broken out in the burn. The priest must announce that the person is unclean.
Leviticus 13 : 25 (ERVEN)
Leviticus 13 : 26 (ERVEN)
But if the priest looks at the spot, and there is no white hair in the bright spot, and the spot is not deeper than the skin but is faded, the priest must separate the person for seven days.
Leviticus 13 : 27 (ERVEN)
On the seventh day, the priest must look at the person again. If the spot has spread on the skin, the priest must announce that the person is unclean. It is leprosy.
Leviticus 13 : 28 (ERVEN)
But if the bright spot has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn. The priest must announce that the person is clean.
Leviticus 13 : 29 (ERVEN)
"Someone might get an infection on the scalp or beard.
Leviticus 13 : 30 (ERVEN)
A priest must look at the infection. If the infection seems to be deeper than the skin, and if the hair around it is thin and yellow, the priest must announce that the person is unclean. It is a bad skin disease.
Leviticus 13 : 31 (ERVEN)
If the disease does not seem deeper than the skin, but there is no dark hair in it, the priest must separate that person for seven days.
Leviticus 13 : 32 (ERVEN)
On the seventh day, the priest must look at it again. If the disease has not spread, and there are no yellow hairs growing in it, and the disease does not seem deeper than the skin,
Leviticus 13 : 33 (ERVEN)
the person must shave. But the diseased area should not be shaved. The priest must separate that person for seven more days.
Leviticus 13 : 34 (ERVEN)
On the seventh day, the priest must look at it again. If the disease has not spread, and it does not seem deeper than the skin, the priest must announce that the person is clean. After washing those clothes, that person will be clean.
Leviticus 13 : 35 (ERVEN)
But if the disease spreads on the skin after the person has become clean,
Leviticus 13 : 36 (ERVEN)
then the priest must look at the person again. If the disease has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair. The person is unclean.
Leviticus 13 : 37 (ERVEN)
But if the priest thinks that the disease has stopped, and black hair is growing in it, the disease has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must announce this.
Leviticus 13 : 38 (ERVEN)
"If anyone has white spots on the skin,
Leviticus 13 : 39 (ERVEN)
a priest must look at them. If the spots on that person's skin are dull white, the disease is only a harmless rash. That person is clean.
Leviticus 13 : 40 (ERVEN)
"A man might begin to lose the hair on his head. It is only baldness, so he is clean.
Leviticus 13 : 41 (ERVEN)
A man might lose hair from the sides of his head. He is clean. It is only another kind of baldness.
Leviticus 13 : 42 (ERVEN)
But if there is a red and white infection on his scalp, it is a skin disease.
Leviticus 13 : 43 (ERVEN)
A priest must look at him. If the swelling of the infection is red and white and looks like the leprosy on other parts of his body,
Leviticus 13 : 44 (ERVEN)
then he has leprosy on his scalp. The person is unclean. The priest must announce that he is unclean.
Leviticus 13 : 45 (ERVEN)
"People with leprosy must warn other people. They must shout, 'Unclean, unclean!' They must tear their clothes at the seams. They must let their hair grow wild, and they must cover their mouth.
Leviticus 13 : 46 (ERVEN)
They are unclean the whole time that they have the infection. They are unclean and must live outside the camp.
Leviticus 13 : 47 (ERVEN)
"Some clothing might have mildew on it. The cloth could be linen or wool, woven or knitted. Or the mildew might be on a piece of leather or on something made from leather.
Leviticus 13 : 48 (ERVEN)
Leviticus 13 : 49 (ERVEN)
If the mildew is green or red, it must be shown to the priest.
Leviticus 13 : 50 (ERVEN)
The priest must look at it and put it in a separate place for seven days.
Leviticus 13 : 51 (ERVEN)
On the seventh day, he must look at it again. It doesn't matter if the mildew is on leather or cloth or if the cloth is woven or knitted. And it doesn't matter what the leather was used for. If the mildew has spread, the object is unclean because of the infection. The priest must burn it.
Leviticus 13 : 52 (ERVEN)
Leviticus 13 : 53 (ERVEN)
"If the priest sees that the mildew did not spread on the object, it must be washed. It doesn't matter if it is leather or cloth, or if the cloth is knitted or woven, it must be washed.
Leviticus 13 : 54 (ERVEN)
He must order the people to wash it. Then he must separate the clothing for seven more days.
Leviticus 13 : 55 (ERVEN)
After that time, the priest must look at it again. If the mildew still looks the same, the object is unclean. It doesn't matter if the infection has not spread, you must burn that cloth or piece of leather.
Leviticus 13 : 56 (ERVEN)
"But if the priest looks at that piece of leather or cloth, and the mildew has faded, he must tear the infected spot out of the piece of leather or cloth. It doesn't matter if the cloth is woven or knitted.
Leviticus 13 : 57 (ERVEN)
But the mildew might come back to that piece of leather or cloth. If that happens, the mildew is spreading, and the object must be burned.
Leviticus 13 : 58 (ERVEN)
But if the mildew did not come back after washing, that piece of leather or cloth is clean, whether the cloth was woven or knitted."
Leviticus 13 : 59 (ERVEN)
These are the rules for mildew on pieces of leather or cloth, whether the cloth is woven or knitted.
