And let the priest look on the sore that is in the skin of his flesh.

If there be but a white pleck in the skin of his flesh, and seem not to be lower than the other skin nor the hair thereof is turned unto white: then let the priest shut him up seven days.

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 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.

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.
