Leviticus 13:12-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. But if the leprosy will have flourished, coursing through the skin, and will have covered all the skin from the head even to the feet, whatever falls under the sight of the eyes,

13. the priest shall examine him, and he shall judge that the leprosy that he possesses is very clean, because it has all turned to whiteness, and for this reason the man shall be clean.

14. Yet truly, when the living flesh shall appear in him,

15. then by the judgment of the priest he shall be polluted, and he shall be considered to be among the unclean. For the live flesh, if it is spotted with leprosy, is unclean.

16. And if again it will have turned into whiteness, and will have covered the entire man,

17. the priest shall examine him, and he shall discern him to be clean.

18. But when there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has healed,

19. and in the place of the ulcer, there appears a white or reddish scar, the man shall be brought to the priest.

20. And when he will have seen the place of the leprosy lower than the rest of the flesh, and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare him contaminated. For the plague of leprosy has arisen from the ulcer.

21. But if the hair is of the usual color, and the scar is somewhat obscure and is not lower than the nearby flesh, he shall seclude him for seven days.

22. And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy.

23. But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.

24. But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar,

25. the priest shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar.

26. But if the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days,

27. and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated.
