Leviticus 13:41-55 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

41. “And if the hair has fallen from his forehead, he is bald on the forehead, he is clean.

42. “And when there is on the bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.

43. “And the priest shall look at it and see, if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the body,

44. he is a leprous man, he is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean, without fail, his infection is on his head.

45. “As for the leper who has the infection, his garments are torn, and his head is uncovered, and he has to cover his upper lip and cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

46. “He is unclean – all the days he has the infection he is unclean. He is unclean, and he dwells alone, his dwelling place is outside the camp.

47. “And when a garment has an infection of leprosy in it, in a woollen garment or in a linen garment,

48. or in the warp or in the weft of linen or wool, or in leather or in any leather-work,

49. and the infection shall be greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, or in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object, it is an infection of leprosy and shall be shown to the priest.

50. “And the priest shall look at the infection and shut up the infected one seven days.

51. “And he shall look at the infection on the seventh day. And when the infection has spread in the garment, or in the warp or in the weft, or in the leather or any leather-work, the infection is an active leprosy, it is unclean.

52. “And he shall burn that garment, or the warp or the weft, in wool or in linen, or any leather object in which the infection is, for it is an active leprosy. It is burned with fire.

53. “But if the priest looks and sees that the infection has not spread in the garment, or in the warp or in the weft, or in any leather object,

54. then the priest shall give command, and they shall wash that in which the infection is. And he shall shut it up another seven days.

55. “And the priest shall look at the infection after it has been washed and see, if the infection has not changed its appearance, though the infection has not spread, it is unclean, and burn it in the fire – it is eaten away, in its inside or outside.
