New Testament

Leviticus 13:41-54 Modern English Version (MEV)

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,

44. he is leprous. He is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean. His disease is on his head.

45. The man who has the leprous disease shall have torn clothes and disheveled hair; and he shall cover his mustache and shall cry, “Unclean, unclean.”

46. All the days that he has the disease, he shall be defiled. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone, and he shall live outside the camp.

47. If a garment has a leprous disease, whether it is a wool or a linen garment,

48. whether it is in the warp or woof of the linen or wool fabric, or in the leather or anything made of leather,

49. and if the disease is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp or woof, or in anything made of leather, it is a leprous disease and shall be shown to the priest.

50. And the priest shall examine the disease, and isolate the infected article for seven days.

51. And he shall examine the disease on the seventh day. If the disease has spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in the leather, or in any work that is made of leather, this is a spreading leprous disease. It is unclean.

52. He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, wool or linen, or anything of leather that has the disease, for it is a spreading leprous disease. It shall be burned in the fire.

53. If the priest examines it, and the disease has not spread in the garment, either in the warp or the woof, or in anything of leather,

54. then the priest shall command that they wash the article in which the disease appears, and he shall isolate it for seven days more.
