Leviticus 13:9-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. When a person has leprosy, then it shall be reported to the priest.

10. And the priest shall examine him, and if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,

11. it is a recurring leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, but he shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.

12. If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the disease covers all the skin of the person who has the disease from his head to his feet, wherever the priest looks,

13. then the priest shall examine, and if the leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce him clean from the disease. It has all turned white, and he is clean.

14. But when raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean.

15. The priest shall see the raw flesh and pronounce him to be unclean, for the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.

16. Or if the raw flesh turns again, and it is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.

17. And the priest shall see him, and if the disease is changed to white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean who has the disease. He is clean.

18. And when the skin has a boil, and it is healed,

19. and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a reddish-white spot, then it will be shown to the priest.

20. And if the priest sees it, and it is deeper than the skin, and the hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore that has broken out in the boil.

21. But if the priest looks at it, and there are no white hairs in it, and if it is not deeper than the skin but has faded, then the priest shall isolate the person for seven days.

22. If it spreads around the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.

23. But if the spot stays in its place and does not spread, then it is the scar of a boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24. Or if there is some of the skin on the body where there is a burn, and the raw flesh that has a burn becomes a reddish or white spot,

25. then the priest shall examine it, and if the hair in the spot has turned white, and it is deeper than the skin, then it is a leprous disease broken out from the burn. Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.

26. But if the priest looks at it, and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is no deeper than the other skin and is faded, then the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
