New Testament

Leviticus 13:4-19 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

4. But if a spot is white on his body’s skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin and its hair does not turn white, then the priest shall confine the afflicted person for seven days.

5. And the priest shall examine it on the seventh day, and if, in his eyes, the infection has stayed unchanged, the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall confine him for seven days a second time.

6. And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day for a second time, and if the infection has faded and the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall declare him clean—it is an epidermal eruption; and he shall wash his garments, and so he shall be clean.

7. But if the epidermal eruption spreads further on the skin after showing himself to the priest for his cleansing, then he shall appear a second time to the priest.

8. And the priest shall examine it, and if the epidermal eruption has spread on the skin, then the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease.

9. “When an infectious skin disease is on a person and he is brought to the priest,

10. the priest shall examine it, and if a white swelling is on the skin and it turns the hair white and raw flesh is in the swelling,

11. it is a chronic infectious skin disease on his body’s skin, and the priest shall declare him unclean; he shall not confine him, because he is unclean.

12. And if the infectious skin disease breaks out all over on the skin and the infectious skin disease covers all of the afflicted person’s skin from his head to his feed, so far as the priest can see,

13. then the priest shall examine it, and if the infectious skin disease covers his whole body, then he shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—all of it has turned white; he is clean.

14. But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he shall become unclean.

15. And the priest shall examine the raw flesh, and he shall pronounce him unclean—the raw flesh is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease.

16. Or, when the raw flesh returns and it has changed to white, then he shall come to the priest,

17. and the priest shall examine him, and if the infection has changed to white, then the priest shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—he is clean.

18. “And when someone’s body has a skin sore on his skin and it is healed

19. and a white swelling or a pinkish spot appears in the skin sore’s place, then he shall show himself to the priest.
