Leviticus 13 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
[2] “When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.
[3] The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.
[4] If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
[5] The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.
[6] The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
[7] But if the scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
[8] The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
[9] “When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
[10] and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
[11] it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.
[12] “If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,
[13] then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
[14] But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
[15] The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
[16] Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.
[17] The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
[18] “When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
[19] and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.
[20] The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.
[21] But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
[22] If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
[23] But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
[24] “Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,
[25] then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
[26] But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
[27] The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
[28] If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
[29] “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,
[30] then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
[31] If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.
[32] On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,
[33] then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more days.
[34] On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
[35] But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
[36] then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
[37] But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
[38] “When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,
[39] then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.
[40] “If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
[41] If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.
[42] But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.
[43] Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,
[44] he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
[45] “The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
[46] All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.
[47] “The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
[48] whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in a leather, or in anything made of leather;
[49] if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.
[50] The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.
[51] He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.
[52] He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
[53] “If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
[54] then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more days.
[55] Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.
[56] If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
[57] and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn what the plague is in with fire.
[58] The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”
[59] This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

[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 shewed () 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 woollen garment, or a linen garment;
[48] Whether [it be] in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; 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 shewed () 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 woollen 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:

[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. ()

Leviticus 13 (YLT)

[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
[2] ‘When a man hath in the skin of his flesh a rising, or scab, or bright spot, and it hath become in the skin of his flesh a leprous plague, then he hath been brought in unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests;
[3] and the priest hath seen the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague hath turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the skin of his flesh-it is a plague of leprosy, and the priest hath seen him, and hath pronounced him unclean.
[4] ‘And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair hath not turned white, then hath the priest shut up him who hath the plague seven days.
[5] ‘And the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, and lo, the plague hath stood in his eyes, the plague hath not spread in the skin, and the priest hath shut him up a second seven days.
[6] ‘And the priest hath seen him on the second seventh day, and lo, the plague is become weak, and the plague hath not spread in the skin-and the priest hath pronounced him clean, it is a scab, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been clean.
[7] ‘And if the scab spread greatly in the skin, after his being seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he hath been seen a second time by the priest;
[8] and the priest hath seen, and lo, the scab hath spread in the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is leprosy.
[9] ‘When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he hath been brought in unto the priest,
[10] and the priest hath seen, and lo, a white rising in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and a quickening of raw flesh is in the rising,-
[11] an old leprosy it is in the skin of his flesh, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; he doth not shut him up, for he is unclean.
[12] ‘And if the leprosy break out greatly in the skin, and the leprosy hath covered all the skin of him who hath the plague, from his head even unto his feet, to all that appeareth to the eyes of the priest,
[13] then hath the priest seen, and lo, the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, and he hath pronounced him who hath the plague clean; it hath all turned white; he is clean.
[14] ‘And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him he is unclean;
[15] and the priest hath seen the raw flesh, and hath pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy.
[16] Or when the raw flesh turneth back, and hath been turned to white, then he hath come in unto the priest,
[17] and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the plague hath been turned to white, and the priest hath pronounced clean him who hath the plague; he is clean.
[18] ‘And when flesh hath in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it hath been healed,
[19] and there hath been in the place of the ulcer a white rising, or a bright white spot, very red, then it hath been seen by the priest,
[20] and the priest hath seen, and lo, its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair hath turned white, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy-in an ulcer it hath broken out.
[21] ‘And if the priest see it, and lo, there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and is become weak, then hath the priest shut him up seven days;
[22] and if it spread greatly in the skin, then hath the priest pronounced him unclean, it is a plague;
[23] and if in its place the bright spot stay-it hath not spread-it is an inflammation of the ulcer; and the priest hath pronounced him clean.
[24] ‘Or when flesh hath in its skin a fiery burning, and the quickening of the burning, the bright white spot, hath been very red or white,
[25] and the priest hath seen it, and lo, the hair hath turned white in the bright spot, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; leprosy it is, in the burning it hath broken out, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy.
[26] ‘And if the priest see it, and lo, there is no white hair on the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it is become weak, then the priest hath shut him up seven days;
[27] and the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, if it spread greatly in the skin, then the priest hath pronounced him unclean; a plague of leprosy it is.
[28] ‘And if the bright spot stay in its place, it hath not spread in the skin, and is become weak; a rising of the burning it is, and the priest hath pronounced him clean; for it is inflammation of the burning.
[29] ‘And when a man (or a woman) hath in him a plague in the head or in the beard,
[30] then hath the priest seen the plague, and lo, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and in it a thin shining hair, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is a scall-it is a leprosy of the head or of the beard.
[31] ‘And when the priest seeth the plague of the scall, and lo, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then hath the priest shut up him who hath the plague of the scall seven days.
[32] ‘And the priest hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and lo, the scall hath not spread, and a shining hair hath not been in it, and the appearance of the scall is not deeper than the skin,
[33] then he hath shaved himself, but the scall he doth not shave; and the priest hath shut up him who hath the scall a second seven days.
[34] And the priest hath seen the scall on the seventh day, and lo, the scall hath not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him clean, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been clean.
[35] ‘And if the scall spread greatly in the skin after his cleansing,
[36] and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest seeketh not for the shining hair, he is unclean;
[37] and if in his eyes the scall hath stayed, and black hair hath sprung up in it, the scall hath been healed-he is clean-and the priest hath pronounced him clean.
[38] ‘And when a man or woman hath in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots,
[39] and the priest hath seen, and lo, in the skin of their flesh white weak bright spots, it is a freckled spot broken out in the skin; he is clean.
[40] ‘And when a man’s head is polished, he is bald, he is clean;
[41] and if from the corner of his face his head is polished, he is bald of the forehead; he is clean.
[42] ‘And when there is in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, a very red white plague, it is a leprosy breaking out in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead;
[43] and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the rising of the very red white plague in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, is as the appearance of leprosy, in the skin of the flesh,
[44] he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest doth pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
[45] ‘As to the leper in whom is the plague, his garments are rent, and his head is uncovered, and he covereth over the upper lip, and ‘Unclean! unclean!’ he calleth;
[46] all the days that the plague is in him he is unclean; he is unclean, alone he doth dwell, at the outside of the camp is his dwelling.
[47] ‘And when there is in any garment a plague of leprosy,-in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen,
[48] or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in any work of skin,
[49] and the plague hath been very green or very red in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and it hath been shewn the priest.
[50] ‘And the priest hath seen the plague, and hath shut up that which hath the plague, seven days;
[51] and he hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and the plague hath spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, of all that is made of skin for work; the plague is a fretting leprosy, it is unclean.
[52] ‘And he hath burnt the garment, or the warp, or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any vessel of skin in which the plague is; for it is a fretting leprosy; with fire it is burnt.
[53] ‘And if the priest see, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin,
[54] then hath the priest commanded, and they have washed that in which the plague is, and he hath shut it up a second seven days.
[55] And the priest hath seen that which hath the plague after it hath been washed, and lo, the plague hath not changed its aspect, and the plague hath not spread,-it is unclean; with fire thou dost burn it; it is a fretting in its back-part or in its front-part.
[56] ‘And if the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague is become weak after it hath been washed, then he hath rent it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
[57] and if it still be seen in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it is a fretting; with fire thou dost burn it-that in which the plague is.
[58] ‘And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any vessel of skin which thou dost wash when the plague hath turned aside from them, then it hath been washed a second time, and hath been clean.
[59] ‘This is the law of a plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or of linen, or of the warp or of the woof, or of any vessel of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.’
