Lev 13:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying,
Lev 13:2 “When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a
bright spot, and it shall become on the skin of his body like a leprous
infection, then he shall be brought to Aharon the priest or to one of his sons
the priests.
Lev 13:3 “And the priest shall look at the infection on the skin of the body.
And if the hair on the infection has turned white, and the infection appears to
be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous infection. And the priest
shall look at him, and pronounce him unclean.
Lev 13:4 “But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body, and does not
appear to be deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the
priest shall shut up the infected one seven days.

infection appears to be as it was, and the infection has not spread on the skin,
then the priest shall shut him up another seven days.
Lev 13:6 “And the priest shall look at him again on the seventh day and see,
if the infection has darkened, and the infection has not spread on the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab, and he shall wash his

pronounce him unclean. He does not shut him up, for he is unclean.
Lev 13:12 “And if leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy shall
cover all the skin of the infected one, from his head to his foot, wherever the
priest looks,
Lev 13:13 then the priest shall look and see, if the leprosy has covered all
his body, he shall pronounce the infected one clean. It has all turned white, he
is clean.
Lev 13:14 “But the day raw flesh appears on him, he is unclean.

skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it
is a leprous infection which has broken out of the boil.

flesh of the burn shall become a bright spot, reddish-white or white,
Lev 13:25 then the priest shall look at it and see, if the hair of the bright spot
has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is leprosy broken out
in the burn. And the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is a leprous
infection.

the bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest

see, if the eruption has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the
