Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest. And the priest shall look on him, and, behold, if the disease is turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [of] the disease; he is clean. And when the flesh has a boil in the skin of it, and it is healed, and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest. And the priest shall look, and, behold, if the appearance of it is lower than the skin, and the hair of it be turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous disease; it has broken out in the boil. But if the priest looks on it, and, behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it is not lower than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall shut him up seven days. And if it spreads abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a disease. But if the bright spot stays in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. Or when the flesh has a burning by fire in the skin of it, and the quick of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white, then the priest shall look upon it. And, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the appearance of it is deeper than the skin, it is a leprous disease. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pron But if the priest looks on it, and, behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no lower than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall shut him up seven days. And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day. If it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a leprous disease. And if the bright spot stays in its place, and be not spread in the skin, but is dim, it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar of the burning. And when a man or woman has a disease upon the head or upon the beard, then the priest shall look on the disease. And, behold, if the appearance of it is deeper than the skin, and there is yellow thin hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scall. It is a leprous disease of th And if the priest looks on the disease of the scall, and, behold, the appearance of it is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up the disease of the scall seven days. And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the disease, and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall is not deeper than the skin, then he shall be shaven, but the scall he shall not shave, and the priest shall shut up [him who has] the scall seven days more.

And he shall wash his But if the scall spreads abroad in the skin after his cleansing, then the priest shall look on him. And, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair, he is unclean. But if in his eyes the scall is arrested, and black hair is grown up in it, the scall is healed. He is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. And when a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the flesh, even white bright spots, then the priest shall look. And, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh is of a dull white, it is a tetter. It has broken out in the skin; he is clean. And if a man's hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; he is clean. And if his hair is fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald; he is clean. But if there is a reddish-white disease in the bald head, or the bald forehead, it is a leprous disease breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead. Then the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the rising of the disease is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of a leprous disease in the skin of the flesh, he is a leprous man; he is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his disease is in his head. And the man with a leprous disease in whom the disease is, his clothes shall be torn, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. All the days in which the disease is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean. He shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.

If the disease be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever service skin is used for, the disease is a fretting leprosy, it is unclean. And he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in woolen or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the disease is, for it is a fretting leprosy. It shall be burnt in the fire. And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the disease be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the disease is, and he shall shut it up seven more days. And the priest shall look, after the disease is washed, and, behold, if the disease has not changed its color, and the disease be not spread, it is unclean. Thou shall burn it in the fire. It is a fret, whether the bareness be insi And if the priest looks, and, behold, the disease is dim after the washing of it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof. And if it still appears in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is breaking out. Thou shall burn that in which the disease is with fire. And the garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it be, which thou shall wash, if the disease be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean. This is the law of a leprous disease in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look. And, behold, if the disease be spread in the walls of the house, then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the disease is, and cast them into an unclean place outside the city. And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside round about, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scrape off, outside the city into an unclean place. And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones. And he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house. And if the disease comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered, then the priest shall come in and look. And, behold, if the disease be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean. And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber of it, and all the mortar of the house, and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
