Leviticus 13:1-8

Revised Geneva Translation

13 Moreover, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

² “The man that shall have a swelling or a scab in the skin of his flesh, or a white spot, so that it is like the plague of leprosy in the skin of his flesh. Then he shall be brought to Aaron the Priest, or to one of his sons the priests.

³ “And the priest shall look at the sore on the skin of his flesh. If the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore is seen to be lower than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy. Therefore the priest shall look at him and pronounce him unclean.

⁴ “But if the white spot is on the skin of his flesh and seems not to be lower than the skin nor its hair turned white, then the priest shall shut up he who has the plague for seven days.

⁵ “Afterward, the priest shall examine him on the seventh day. And if the plague seems to abide in him still, and the plague has not grown on the skin, the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.

⁶ “Then the priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. And if the plague is dark, and the sore has not grown on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. Therefore, he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

⁷ “If the scab grows more on the skin after he has been seen by the priest to be purged, he shall be seen by the priest again.

⁸ “Then the priest shall look, and if the scab grows on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
