Leviticus 13

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,

The Lord passionately communicated to Moses and Aaron, expressing,

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:

When a man notices a lump, a sore, or a bright mark on his skin, similar to the symptoms of leprosy, he should immediately seek the guidance of Aaron the priest or one of his priestly sons.

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.

When the priest sees the disease on the person's skin, and the hair within it has turned white, and it appears to be more than skin deep, it's a sign of leprosy. The priest will then confirm this and declare the person unclean.

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:

If there's a white patch on someone's skin, not too deep and the hair hasn't turned white, the priest should isolate the person with this condition for seven days.

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:

On the seventh day, the priest will examine him. If the disease hasn't spread or worsened, then the priest will isolate him for another week.

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.

On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the disease appears less severe and hasn't spread on the skin, the priest will declare him healthy. It's just a minor skin issue. He should clean his clothes and he'll be considered clean.

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.

If the skin infection spreads widely after the priest has declared him clean, he must return to the priest for another examination.

And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

If the priest notices the skin infection spreading, he must declare the person unclean, for it is leprosy.

When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;

When a man is afflicted with the disease of leprosy, he must seek the guidance of the priest.

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;

When the priest looks at him and sees a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there's fresh, raw flesh in the swelling, it's a cause for concern.

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.

The man has a long-standing case of leprosy in his skin. The priest, recognizing this, declares him impure, offering no isolation, for his impurity is undeniable.

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;

If a skin disease like leprosy spreads all over a person's body, from head to toe, wherever the priest's eyes land, it's a serious concern.

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.

The priest will carefully observe. If the person's entire body is covered in leprosy, turning completely white, then the priest will declare him clean, even though he has the disease. He is clean.

But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.

When he shows signs of raw, unhealed wounds, he will be considered impure.

And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.

When the priest sees the exposed wound, he will declare the person unclean, for such wounds are impure, a sign of leprosy.

Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;

If the wounded flesh heals and turns white, he should seek the priest's presence.

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.

When the priest sees him and notices the disease has turned white, he will declare the person with the disease as clean. He is indeed clean.

The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,

The body, even its skin, once suffered from a painful sore, but now it's healed.

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;

If a boil heals and leaves behind a white or bright spot, tinged with red, show it to the priest.

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.

If the priest sees that the skin is sunken and the hair has turned white, he must declare the person unclean. This is a sign of leprosy, a disease that has erupted from the boil.

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:

If the priest sees no white hairs and the spot is not sunken but has faded, he must isolate the person for seven days.

And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.

If the skin ailment widely spreads, the priest must declare him impure; it's a serious disease.

But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

If the radiant mark remains steady and doesn't spread, it's just a fiery sore. The priest will then declare him free of disease.

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;

If there's a burn on your skin, and the fresh skin of the burn has a bright spot, reddish-white or white, be aware.

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.

The priest will examine the person. If he sees a bright spot with white hair, appearing deeper than the skin, it's a sign of leprosy, a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must then declare the person unclean, as they are suffering from the dreaded disease of leprosy.

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:

If the priest sees no white hair or sunken skin in the discolored spot, but it has faded, then the person must be isolated for seven days.

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.

On the seventh day, the priest will examine him. If the skin disease has spread widely, the priest will declare him impure. This is the curse of leprosy.

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.

If the bright mark remains stable, not spreading but appearing slightly dimmer, it's a sign of healing from a burn. The priest will declare him clean, as it's merely the inflammation from the burn.

If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;

If a person suffers from a disease affecting their head or facial hair;

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.

When the priest sees the disease, if it appears deeper than the skin and is accompanied by thin, yellow hair, he will declare the person unclean. This is a scaly sore, a leprosy, affecting the head or beard.

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:

If the priest sees the skin disease, and it's not too deep and there's no black hair, then the person with the disease must be isolated for seven days.

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;

On the seventh day, the priest will examine the affliction. If it hasn't spread, shows no signs of yellow hair, and doesn't appear deeper than the skin, then it's not serious.

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:

He must cut his hair, but not the affected area. The priest will isolate him for another week.

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.

On the seventh day, the priest will examine the skin disease. If it hasn't spread or gone deeper into the skin, the priest will declare the person healed. They must then wash their clothes and they will be considered clean.

But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;

But if, after being cleansed, the rash spreads widely across the skin;

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.

If the priest sees that the skin disease has spread, he won't look for yellow hair. The person is unclean.

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.

If the priest sees the skin disease has stopped spreading and black hair has grown on it, it means the person is healed. The priest will then declare him clean.

If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

If a man or woman notices glowing, white patches on their skin,

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.

The priest will examine the person. If he sees that the shiny patches on their skin are a dull white, it's just a harmless freckle growing on the skin. They are not unclean.

And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

Even if a man has lost all the hair on his head and is bald, he remains pure and untainted.

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.

If a man's hair has receded from his forehead, he may be bald, but he remains pure.

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.

If there's a reddish-white sore on a bald head or forehead, it's a sign of leprosy appearing on their bare skin.

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;

The priest will carefully examine it. If he sees a reddish-white sore appearing on the bald head or forehead, similar to the skin's leprosy, then it's a cause for concern.

He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

The man is afflicted with leprosy, he is impure. The priest will declare him completely unclean; his disease is on his head.

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.

The person afflicted with leprosy, their clothes torn and head uncovered, must cover their mouth and announce their condition, saying, "I am unclean, I am unclean."

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.

As long as the disease lingers within him, he will be tainted and impure. He must live in solitude, his home set apart from the community.

The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;

The clothing infected by the disease of leprosy, be it wool or linen, carries the same affliction.

Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;

Regardless of its form or fabric, be it woven linen or wool, or even made from skin, it matters not.

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:

If you see a green or red stain on any fabric or skin, it could be a sign of leprosy. Show it to the priest immediately.

And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:

The priest, upon seeing the affliction, will set the affected item aside for a week.

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.

On the seventh day, he will examine the disease. If it has spread in the clothing, whether woven or knitted, or any leather item, it is a persistent infection and must be considered unclean.

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.

He must destroy the infected clothing, whether it's made of wool, linen, or leather. It's a serious disease and must be burned to stop its spread.

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;

If the priest inspects and finds that the disease has not spread in the clothing, whether woven or knitted, or any leather item, he will see it as a good sign.

Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:

The priest will instruct to cleanse the object infected by the disease, then isolate it for another week.

And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, 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.

After the priest examines the infected area, even after it's been cleaned, if the infection hasn't changed color or spread, it's still impure. It must be destroyed by fire, regardless of whether the damage is visible or hidden.

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:

If the priest sees that the disease has faded after it has been washed, he must tear it out of the clothing, skin, or fabric.

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.

If you still see it on the fabric, whether woven or knitted, or on any leather item, it's a persistent disease. You must destroy the infected item by fire.

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.

If you cleanse a piece of clothing or any leather item from disease and it's completely gone, wash it again to ensure it's truly clean.

This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

This is the rule for identifying and declaring whether a woolen or linen garment, or any leather item, is clean or infected with the disease of leprosy.
