And let the priest look upon him the seventh day: if the sore seem to him to abide still and to go no further in the skin, then let the priest shut him up yet seven days more. And let the priest look on him again the seventh day. Then if the sore be waxed blackish, and is not grown abroad in the skin, let the priest make him clean, for it is but a scurf. And let him wash his clothes, and then he is clean. But and if the scab grow in the skin after that he is seen of the priest again. read more.
If the priest see that the scab be grown abroad in the skin, let him make him unclean: for it is surely a leprosy. "If the plague of leprosy be in a man, let him be brought unto the priest, and let the priest see him. If the rising appear white in the skin, and have also made the hair white, and there be raw flesh in the sore also: then it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh. And the priest shall make him unclean, and shall not shut him up for he is unclean. If a leprosy break out in the skin and cover all the skin from the head to the foot, over all wheresoever the priest looketh, then let the priest look upon him. If the leprosy have covered all his flesh, let him judge the disease clean: for inasmuch as he is altogether white he is, therefore, clean. But and if there be raw flesh on him when he is seen, then he shall be unclean. Therefore, when the priest seeth the raw flesh, let him make him unclean. For inasmuch as his flesh is raw, he is unclean and it is surely a true leprosy. But and if the raw flesh depart again and change unto white, then let him come to the priest, and let the priest see him: If the sore be changed unto white, let the priest judge the disease clean, and then he is clean. "When there is a boil in the skin of any man's flesh, and is healed; and after, in the place of the boil, there appear a white rising, either a shining white somewhat reddish, let him be seen of the priest. If, when the priest seeth him, it appear lower than the other skin and the hair thereof be changed unto white, let the priest judge him unclean: for it is a very leprosy, that is broken out in the place of the boil. But and if, when the priest looketh on it, there be no white hairs therein neither the scab lower than the other skin and be somewhat blackish, then the priest shall shut him apart seven days. If it spread abroad in the mean season, then let the priest judge him unclean: for it is a leprosy. But and if the glistering white abide still in one place and go no further, then it is but the print of the boil, and the priest shall judge him clean. "When the skin of any man's flesh is burnt with fire that it be raw and there appear, in the burning, a glistering white that is somewhat reddish or altogether white, let the priest look upon it. If the hair in that brightness be changed to white and it also appear lower than the other skin, then it is a leprosy that is broken out in the place of the burning. And the priest shall judge him unclean, for it is a leprosy. But and if, when the priest looketh on it, he see that there is no white hair in the brightness, and that it is no lower than the other skin, and that it is also blackish, then let the priest shut him up seven days. And if, when the priest looketh on him the seventh day, it be grown abroad in the skin, let him judge him unclean: for it is a leprosy. But and if that brightness abide still in one place and go no further in the skin and be blackish, then it is but a rising in the place of the burning, and the priest shall make him clean: for it is but the print of the burning only. When either man or woman hath a breaking out upon the head or the beard, let the priest see it. And if it appear lower than the other skin, and there be therein golden hairs and thin, let the priest judge him unclean, for it is a breaking out of leprosy upon the head or beard. If, when the priest looketh on the breaking out, he see that it is no lower than the other skin and that there are black hairs therein, let him shut him up seven days. And let the priest look on the disease the seventh day: and if the breaking out be gone no further, neither be any golden hairs therein neither the scab be lower than the other skin, then let him be shaven, but let him not shave the scab, and let the priest shut him up seven days more. And let the priest look on the breaking out the seventh day again: If the breaking out be gone no further in the skin nor more lower than the other skin, then let the priest judge him clean, and let him wash his clothes and then he is clean. If the breaking out grow in the skin after that he is once judged clean, let the priest see him. If it be grown abroad indeed in the skin, let the priest seek no further for any golden hairs, for he is unclean. But and if he see that the scab stand still, and that there is black hair grown up therein, then the scab is healed and he is clean: and the priest shall judge him clean. "If there be found in the skin of the flesh of man or woman a glistering white, let the priest see it. If there appear in their flesh a glistering white somewhat blackish, then it is but freckles grown up in the skin: and he is clean. If a man's hair fall off his head, then he is headbald and clean. If his hair fall before in his forehead, then he is foreheadbald and clean. If there be in the bald head or bald forehead a reddish white scab, then there is leprosy sprung up in his bald head or bald forehead. And let the priest see it: and if the rising of the sore be reddish white in his bald head or forehead after the manner of a leprosy in the skin of the flesh, then he is a leper and unclean: and the priest shall judge him unclean, for the plague of his head.
If the priest see that the scab be grown abroad in the skin, let him make him unclean: for it is surely a leprosy.

"When there appeareth a rising in any man's flesh - either a scab or a glistering white - as though the plague of leprosy were in the skin of his flesh, then let him be brought unto Aaron the priest or unto one of his sons, the priests. And let the priest look on the sore that is in the skin of his flesh. If the hair in the sore be turned unto white, and the sore also seem to be lower than the skin of his flesh, then it is surely a leprosy, and let the priest look on him and make him unclean.
