Leviticus 13:5-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. And on the seventh day he shall examine him, and if the leprosy certainly has not increased further, and has not spread itself in the skin, he shall seclude him again, for another seven days.

6. And on the seventh day, he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy has become obscured, and has not increased in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is a scab. And the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.

7. But if the leprosy increases again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him,

8. and he shall be condemned of uncleanness.

9. If the mark of leprosy has been in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,

10. and he shall look upon him. And when there is a white color in the skin, and it has an altered appearance in its hair, and also the same flesh seems alive,

11. it shall be judged a chronic leprosy, which has grown into the skin. And so the priest shall declare him contaminated, and he shall not seclude him, because he is clearly unclean.

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.
