Leviticus 13:38-57 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

38. If a whiteness appear in the skin of a man or a woman,

39. The priest shall view them. If he find that a darkish whiteness shineth in the skin, let him know that it is not the leprosy, but a white blemish, and that the man is clean.

40. The man whose hair falleth off from his head, he is bald and clean:

41. And if the hair fall from his forehead, he is bald before and clean.

42. But if in the bald head or in the bald forehead there be risen a white or reddish colour,

43. And the priest perceive this, he shall condemn him undoubtedly of leprosy which is risen in the bald part.

44. Now whosoever shall be defiled with the leprosy, and is separated by the judgment of the priest,

45. Shall have his clothes hanging loose, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he shall cry out that he is defiled and unclean.

46. All the time that he is a leper and unclean, he shall dwell alone without the camp.

47. A woollen or linen garment that shall have the leprosy

48. In the warp, and the woof, or a skin, or whatsoever is made of a skin,

49. If it be infected with a white or red spot, it shall be accounted the leprosy, and shall be shewn to the priest.

50. And he shall look upon it and shall shut it up seven days:

51. And on the seventh day when he looketh on it again, if he find that it if grown, it is a Axed leprosy: he shall judge the garment unclean, and every thing wherein it shall be found:

52. And therefore it shall be burnt with fire.

53. But if he see that it is not grown,

54. He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the leprosy is, and he shall shut it up other seven days.

55. And when he shall see that the former colour is not returned, nor yet the leprosy spread, he shall judge it unclean, and shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has taken hold of the outside of the garment, or through the whole.

56. But if the place of the leprosy be somewhat dark, after the garment is washed, he shall tear it off, and divide it from that which is sound.

57. And if after this there appear in those places that before were without spot, a flying and wandering leprosy: it must be burnt with fire.
