New Testament

Leviticus 13:3-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. The priest will examine the infection on the skin of his body. If the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.

4. But if the spot on the skin of his body is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest must quarantine the infected person for seven days.

5. The priest will then reexamine him on the seventh day. If he sees that the infection remains unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must quarantine him for another seven days.

6. The priest will examine him again on the seventh day. If the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean; it is a scab. The person is to wash his clothes and will become clean.

7. But if the scab spreads further on his skin after he has presented himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.

8. The priest will examine him, and if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.

9. “When a skin disease develops on a person, he is to be brought to the priest.

10. The priest will examine him. If there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is a patch of raw flesh in the swelling,

11. it is a chronic disease on the skin of his body, and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not quarantine him, for he is unclean.

12. But if the skin disease breaks out all over the skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from his head to his feet so far as the priest can see,

13. the priest will look, and if the skin disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since he has turned totally white, he is clean.

14. But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he will be unclean.

15. When the priest examines the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. Raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.

16. But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.

17. The priest will examine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest must pronounce the infected person clean; he is clean.
