"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 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.

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.

And when the priest seeth the plague, let him shut it up seven days, and let him look on the plague the seventh day. If it be increased in the cloth: whether it be in the warp or woof or in a skin or in anything that is made of skin, then the plague is a fretting leprosy, and it is unclean: And that cloth shall be burnt, either warp or woof, whether it be woolen or linen or anything that is made of skin wherein the plague is, for it is a fretting leprosy, and shall be burnt in the fire. "If the priest see that the plague hath fretten no further in the cloth: either in the warp or woof or in whatsoever thing of skin it be, then let the priest command then to wash the thing wherein the plague is, and let him shut it up seven days more. And let the priest look on it again after that the plague is washed. If the plague have not changed his fashion though it be spread no further abroad, it is yet unclean. And see that ye burn it in the fire, for it is fretten inward: whether in part or in all together. But and if the priest see that it is somewhat blackish after that it is washed, let him rent it out of the cloth, or out of the skin or out of the warp or woof. But and if it appear any more in the cloth either in the warp or in the woof or in anything made of skin, then it is a waxing plague. And see that ye burn that with fire, wherein the plague is. Moreover, the cloth, either warp or woof or whatsoever thing of skin it be which thou hast washed and the plague be departed from it, shall be washed once again: and then it is clean. This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a cloth whether it be woolen or linen: either whether it be in the warp or woof, or in anything made of skins, to judge it clean or unclean."
