New Testament

Leviticus 13:5-15 New International Version (NIV)

5. On the seventh day the priest is to examine them, and if he sees that the sore is unchanged and has not spread in the skin, he is to isolate them for another seven days.

6. On the seventh day the priest is to examine them again, and if the sore has faded and has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them clean; it is only a rash. They must wash their clothes, and they will be clean.

7. But if the rash does spread in their skin after they have shown themselves to the priest to be pronounced clean, they must appear before the priest again.

8. The priest is to examine that person, and if the rash has spread in the skin, he shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease.

9. “When anyone has a defiling skin disease, they must be brought to the priest.

10. The priest is to examine them, and if there is a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white and if there is raw flesh in the swelling,

11. it is a chronic skin disease and the priest shall pronounce them unclean. He is not to isolate them, because they are already unclean.

12. “If the disease breaks out all over their skin and, so far as the priest can see, it covers all the skin of the affected person from head to foot,

13. the priest is to examine them, and if the disease has covered their whole body, he shall pronounce them clean. Since it has all turned white, they are clean.

14. But whenever raw flesh appears on them, they will be unclean.

15. When the priest sees the raw flesh, he shall pronounce them unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; they have a defiling disease.
