Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

When a man has a  ¹swelling or an eruption or a bright spot on the skin of his  ²body, and it becomes an infection of  ¹leprosy on the skin of his body, then he shall be brought to  ³Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests.

And the priest shall look at the infection in the skin of the body; and if the hair in the infection has turned  ¹white and the appearance of the infection is  ²deeper than the skin of his body, it is the infection of leprosy. When the priest has looked at him, he shall pronounce him unclean.

And if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate the one who has the infection seven days.

And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day; and if in his eyes the infection remains, and the infection has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him seven more days.

And the priest shall look at him again on the seventh day; and if the infection has  ¹faded, and the infection has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a scab. And he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

But if the scab spreads further on the skin after he has showed himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself again to the priest.

And the priest shall look; and if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.

When the infection of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;

And the priest shall look; and if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is living  ¹raw flesh in the swelling,

It is a chronic leprosy on the skin of his body; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.

And if the leprosy breaks out further on the skin, and the leprosy  ¹covers all the skin of the one who has the infection, from his head even to his feet, as far as the priest can see,

Then the priest shall look; and if the leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce him who has the infection clean. It has all turned white; he is clean.

But whenever  ¹raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean.

And the priest shall look at the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is leprosy.

But if the raw flesh again turns white, then he shall come to the priest.

And the priest shall look at him; and if the infection has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him who has the infection clean; he is clean.

And when the body has a  ¹boil on its skin, and it has healed,

And in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a reddish-white bright spot, then it shall be shown to the priest.

And the priest shall look; and if its appearance is below the surface of the skin, and the hair on it has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the infection of leprosy; it has broken out in the boil.

But if the priest looks at it, and if there is no white hair in it, and it is not below the surface of the skin, but it has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

And if it spreads further in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.

But if the bright spot remains in its place and does not spread, it is only the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

Or when the  ¹flesh has on its skin a burn by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white or white,

Then the priest shall look at it; and if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the infection of leprosy.

But if the priest looks at it, and if there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is not below the surface of the skin, but it has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day. If it spreads further in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the infection of leprosy.

And if the bright spot remains in its place, and it has not spread in the skin, but it has faded, it is the swelling from the burn; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is only the scar of the burning.

And if a man or woman has an infection on the  ¹head or on the  ¹beard,

Then the priest shall look at the infection; and if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and there is in it  ¹thin yellowish hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a scale; it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.

And if the priest looks at the infection of the scale, and if its appearance is  ¹not deeper than the skin, and there is  ¹no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the one who has the infection of the scale seven days.

And on the seventh day the priest shall look at the infection; and if the scale has not spread, and there is no yellowish hair in it, and the appearance of the scale is not deeper than the skin,

Then he shall  ¹shave himself, but the scale he shall not shave. And the priest shall isolate the one who has the scale seven days more.

And on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scale; and if the scale has not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. And he shall  ¹wash his clothes and be clean.

But if the scale spreads further in the skin after his cleansing,

Then the priest shall look at him; and if the scale has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellowish hair; he is unclean.

But if, in  ¹the priest's eyes, the scale has remained, and  ²black hair has grown up in it, the scale is healed; he is clean. And the priest shall pronounce him clean.

And when a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of their body,  ¹white bright spots,

Then the priest shall look; and if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a rash that has broken out on the skin; he is clean.

And if a man  ¹loses the hair of his head, he is bald; he is clean.

And if he loses hair from his forehead and his temples, he is bald on the forehead; he is clean.

But if on the bald head or the bald forehead there is a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or on his bald forehead.

Then the priest shall look at him; and if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,

He is a leprous man; he is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his infection is on his head.

And as for the leper in whom the infection is, his  ¹clothes shall be torn, and the  ¹hair of his head shall be let loose, and he shall  ¹cover his upper lip and cry,  ¹Unclean, unclean!

He shall be unclean all the days during which the infection is in him; he is unclean. He shall live alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.

The  ¹garment also that the infection of leprosy is in, whether it is a  ²woolen garment or a  ²linen garment,

Whether it is in  ¹warp or  ¹woof, of linen or of wool, whether in a skin or in anything made of skin,

If the infection is  ¹greenish or reddish in the garment or in the skin, or in the warp or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is the infection of leprosy and shall be shown to the priest.

And the priest shall look at the infection and isolate the article which has the infection for seven days.

Then he shall look at the infection on the seventh day. If the infection has spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever the purpose the skin is used for, the infection is a malignant leprosy; it is unclean.

And he shall  ¹burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin in which the infection occurs, for it is a malignant leprosy; it shall be burned in the fire.

And if the priest shall look, and if the infection has 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  ¹wash the thing in which the infection is; and he shall isolate it for seven more days.

And after the article with the infection has been washed, the priest shall look at it; and if the infection has not changed its appearance, even though the infection has not spread, it is unclean. You shall burn it in the fire; it is a  ¹leprous decay, whether the bareness is on the inside or on the outside.

And if the priest looks, and if the infection has faded after it was washed, then he shall  ¹tear it out of the garment or out of the skin, whether from the warp or from the woof.

But if it appears again in the garment, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn the article that the infection is in, in the fire.

And the garment, whether the warp or the woof, or any article of skin, which you shall wash, if the infection has departed from them, shall be washed a  ¹second time and shall be clean.

This is the law of the infection of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp or in the woof, or anything of skin, for pronouncing it clean or for pronouncing it unclean.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

This shall be the law of the leper on the day of his  ¹cleansing: He shall be  ²brought to the priest,

And the priest shall go forth  ¹outside the camp. Then the priest shall look, and if the infection of leprosy has been  ²healed in the leper,

Then the priest shall command that two living clean  ¹birds and  ²cedar wood and  ²scarlet strands and  ²hyssop be taken for the one who is to be  ³cleansed.

And the priest shall command that one of the birds be slaughtered in an earthen vessel over  ¹running water.

As for the  ¹living bird, he shall take it and the cedar wood and the scarlet strands and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the running water.

And he shall  ¹sprinkle it on the one who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times and shall pronounce him clean. Then he shall  ²let the living bird go into the open field.

And the one who is to be cleansed shall  ¹wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and bathe in water, and he shall be clean. And after that he may come into the camp, but he shall  ²dwell outside his tent seven days.

And on the seventh day he shall shave off all his  ¹hair; he shall shave his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair. Then he shall  ²wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.

 ¹And on the  ²eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering mingled with oil and one  ³log of oil.

And the priest who makes him clean shall set the man to be cleansed and those things before Jehovah at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

And the priest shall take one of the male lambs and present it as a trespass offering and the log of oil, and wave them as a  ¹wave offering before Jehovah.

Then he shall slaughter the male lamb in the  ¹place where they slaughter the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for the trespass offering, like the sin offering, is the  ²priest's; it is most holy.

And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the lobe of the right  ¹ear of the one who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right  ¹hand and on the big toe of his right  ¹foot.

And the priest shall take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm of the priest's left hand,

And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in the palm of his left hand and sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah.

And from the rest of the oil that is in the palm of his hand the priest shall put some on the lobe of the right  ¹ear of the one who is to be cleansed and some on the thumb of his right  ¹hand and some on the big toe of his right  ¹foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.

And the rest of the oil that is in the palm of the priest's hand he shall put on the  ¹head of the one who is to be cleansed. Then the priest shall make  ²expiation for him before Jehovah.

And the priest shall offer the  ¹sin offering and make expiation for the one who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness, and afterward he shall slaughter the burnt offering.

And the priest shall offer the  ¹burnt offering and the  ¹meal offering on the altar. Thus the priest shall make expiation for him, and he shall be clean.

But if he is  ¹poor and cannot afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved to make expiation for him, and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil,

And two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he can afford; and the one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, before Jehovah.

Then the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before Jehovah;

And he shall slaughter the lamb of the trespass offering. Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of the priest's left hand,

And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in the palm of his left hand seven times before Jehovah.

And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in the palm of his hand on the lobe of the right ear of the one who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering.

And the rest of the oil that is in the palm of the priest's hand he shall put on the head of the one who is to be cleansed, to make expiation for him before Jehovah.

And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he can afford,

Even such as he can afford, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering; and the priest shall make expiation for the one who is to be cleansed before Jehovah.

This is the law for the one in whom there is the infection of leprosy, who cannot afford what is prescribed for his cleansing.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put the infection of  ¹leprosy in a house in the land of your possession,

Then he to whom the house belongs shall come and tell the  ¹priest, saying, It seems to me that there is something like an infection in the house.

And the priest shall command that they  ¹empty the house before the priest goes in to look at the infection, so that everything which is in the house does not become unclean; and afterward the  ²priest shall go in to look at the house.

And he shall look at the infection; and if the infection is on the walls of the house with greenish or reddish depressions, and its appearance is  ¹deeper than the surface of the wall,

Then the priest shall come out of the house to the entrance of the house and shut up the house seven days.

And the priest shall return on the seventh day and inspect it. And if the infection has spread in the walls of the house,

Then the priest shall command that they  ¹take out the stones on which the infection is and throw them away outside the city into an unclean place.

And he shall have the house  ¹scraped inside all around, and they shall dump the plaster that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place.

And they shall take other  ¹stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and  ²replaster the house.

And if the infection returns and breaks out in the house after he has taken out the stones and after he has scraped the house and after it has been replastered,

Then the priest shall come in and look; and if the infection has spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

And he shall  ¹break down the house, its stones and its timber and all the plaster of the house, and he shall bring them outside the city into an unclean place.

Moreover, whoever goes into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the  ¹evening.

And whoever  ¹lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever  ¹eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

But if on the other hand the priest comes in and looks, and if the infection has  ¹not spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the infection has been healed.

 ¹And he shall take two birds and cedar wood and scarlet strands and hyssop to purify the house,

And he shall slaughter one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

And he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the scarlet strands and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

And he shall  ¹purify the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water and with the living bird and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop and with the scarlet strands.

And he shall  ¹let the living bird go, outside the city into the open field. So he shall make expiation for the house, and it shall be  ²clean.

This is the law for any kind of infection of leprosy and for a scale

And for the leprosy of a garment and for a house

And for a swelling and for an eruption and for a bright spot,

To teach when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When any man has a discharge from his  ¹body, his discharge is unclean.

And this shall be his uncleanness of his discharge: Whether  ¹there is a discharge from his body, or the discharge is blocked in his body, it is his uncleanness.

Every  ¹bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean.

And whoever touches his bed shall  ¹wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean  ²until the evening.

And whoever sits on anything on which he who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

And whoever touches the flesh of the one who has the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

And if the one who has the discharge spits on someone who is clean, then he who has been spat on shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

And every saddle on which the one who has the discharge rides shall be unclean.

And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening, and whoever carries those things shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

And whomever the one who has the discharge touches without having  ¹rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

And the earthen vessel that the one who has the discharge touches shall be  ¹broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

And when one who has the discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count  ¹seven days for himself for his cleansing; then he shall  ¹wash his clothes and  ¹bathe his body in running water, and he shall be clean.

And on the  ¹eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before Jehovah at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and give them to the priest.

And the priest shall offer them, one for a  ¹sin offering and the other for a  ¹burnt offering; and the priest shall make expiation for him before Jehovah for his discharge.

And if any man's seed of copulation goes out from him, then he shall bathe his entire body in water and be unclean until the evening.

And any garment and any article made of skin on which the seed of copulation comes shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening.

If there is a woman with whom a man lies and there is a discharge of seed of copulation, both of them shall bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

And if a woman has a discharge, and her discharge in her body is blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.

And everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean; everything also that she sits on shall be unclean.

And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

And whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

And if it is on the bed or on anything on which she sits, when anyone touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.

And if any man actually lies with her and her impurity comes on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.

And if a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days not at the time of her impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity, during all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness she shall be as if in the days of her impurity; she is unclean.

Any bed on which she lies during all the days of her discharge shall be to her like the bed of her impurity; and everything on which she sits shall be unclean, as in the uncleanness of her impurity.

And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.

But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count seven days for herself; and afterward she shall be clean.

And on the eighth day she shall take for herself two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

And the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and the priest shall make expiation for her before Jehovah for the discharge of her uncleanness.

Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so that they do not  ¹die in their uncleanness by their defiling My tabernacle that is in the midst of them.

This is the law for the one who has a discharge and for the one whose seed of copulation goes out from him and becomes unclean by it,

And for the one who is sick with her impurity, and for anyone who has a discharge, male or female, and for a man who lies with a woman who is unclean.
