Leviticus 13:28-43 Modern English Version (MEV)

28. If the spot stays in its place and it does not spread in the skin, but is faded, then it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is a scar from the burn.

29. If a man or woman has a sore on the head or in the beard,

30. then the priest shall examine the sore, and if it is deeper than the skin and there is in it a yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a scaly leprosy of the head or beard.

31. If the priest examines the scaly sore, and it is no deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person with the scale for seven days.

32. And on the seventh day the priest shall examine the sore, and if the scale has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the scale is not deeper than the skin,

33. then he shall shave, but the scale he shall not shave, and the priest shall isolate the person with the scale another seven days.

34. And on the seventh day the priest shall examine the scale. If the scale has not spread in the skin and is no deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.

35. But if the scale spreads over the skin after his cleansing,

36. then the priest shall examine him. If the scale has spread over the skin, the priest shall not look for yellow hair. He is unclean.

37. But if the scale appears not to have changed and there is black hair growing in it, then the scale is healed. He is clean and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38. If a man or a woman has spots on the skin of the body, even white bright spots,

39. then the priest shall examine, and if the bright spots on the skin of the body are a faded white, then it is just a rash that has broken out on the skin. He is clean.

40. When a man has lost hair from his head, then he is bald. He is still clean.

41. And when a man has lost hair from his forehead, then he is bald on the forehead. He is still clean.

42. But if there is on the bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white sore, it is a leprous disease breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.

43. Then the priest shall examine it. If the diseased swelling is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, resembling a leprous disease in the skin of the body,
