And, when there cometh to be in, any man or woman, a spot, - in the head or in the beard, then shall the priest view the spot and lo! if, the appearance thereof, is deeper than the skin, and, therein, is yellow, thin hair, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean a scall, it is, a leprosy of the head or of the beard, it is. But when the priest vieweth the spot, and lo! there is, no appearance, of it deeper than the skin, and, no dark hair, is therein, then shall the priest shut up him that hath the plague-spot of scall, seven days; and the priest shall view the spot on the seventh day, and lo! if the scall hath not spread, and there hath not come to be therein yellow hair, - and, the appearance of the scall, is not deeper than the skin, then shall he shave himself, but the scall, shall he not shave, and the priest shall shut up him who hath the scall seven days, more; then shall the priest view the scall, on the seventh day, and lo! if the sea hath not spread in the skin, and, the appearance thereof, is not deeper than the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. But, if the scall do indeed spread in the skin, - after he hath been pronounced clean, then shall the priest take a view, and lo! if the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest shall not search for the yellow hair - unclean, he is. But, if in his eyes, the scall is at a stay, and dark hair hath grown up therein, the scall is healed, clean, he is, - and the priest shall pronounce him clean. And when either, man or woman, hath in the skin of their flesh bright spots, - bright spots that are white, then shall the priest take a view and lo! if, in the skin of their flesh, are bright spots that are dull white, dead white spot, it is, that hath broken through in the skin - clean, he is. And, when, any man's, head loseth its hair, though, bald, he is, clean. And if, in front, his head loseth its hair, though bald in the forehead, he is, clean. But, should there be, in the baldness behind, or in the baldness in front, a spot that is reddish white, leprosy broken out, it is, in his baldness behind, or in his baldness in front. So the priest shall view it, and lo! if, the rising-spot, be reddish white in his baldness behind or in his baldness in front, - like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh, a leprous man, is he, unclean, he is, - unclean, shall the priest pronounce him in his head, is his plague.
