New Testament

Leviticus 13:37-45 New Century Version (NCV)

37. But if the priest thinks the sore has stopped spreading, and black hair is growing in it, the sore has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must announce that he is clean.

38. “When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,

39. a priest must look at them. If the spots on the skin are dull white, the disease is only a harmless rash. That person is clean.

40. “When anyone loses hair from his head and is bald, he is clean.

41. If he loses hair from the front of his head and has a bald forehead, he is clean.

42. But if there is a red-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is a skin disease breaking out in those places.

43. A priest must look at that person. If the swelling of the sore on his bald head or forehead is red-white, like a skin disease that spreads,

44. that person has a skin disease. He is unclean. The priest must announce that the person is unclean because of the sore on his head.

45. “If a person has a skin disease that spreads, he must warn other people by shouting, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ His clothes must be torn at the seams, he must let his hair stay uncombed, and he must cover his mouth.
