Laws about Skin Diseases
(Numbers 5:1–4)

1And Jehovah will speak to Moses, and to Aaron, saying, 2When to a man there shall be a lifting up in the skin of his flesh, or a scab, or brightness, and it was in the skin of his flesh for the stroke of leprosy; and he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests. 3And the priest saw the stroke in the skin of the flesh: and the hair in the stroke turned white, and the sight of the stroke deep from the skin of his flesh, it is the stroke of leprosy: and the priest saw him and defiled him. 4And if the brightness it white in the skin of his flesh, and its sight not deep from the skin, and the hair not turned white; and the priest shut up the stroke seven days. 5And the priest saw him in the seventh day: and behold, the stroke stood; in his eyes, the stroke spread not in the skin, and the priest shut him up the second seven days. 6And the priest saw him in the seventh day, the second time, and behold, the stroke dim, and the stroke spread not in the skin, and the priest cleansed him: it is a scab: and he washed his garments and was clean.

7And if spreading, the scab shall spread in the skin, after his being seen to the priest for his cleansing, and he was seen the second time to the priest. 8And the priest saw, and behold, the scab spread in the skin, and the priest defiled him: it is leprosy.

9When the stroke of leprosy shall be in a man, and he shall be brought to the priest: 10And the priest saw, and behold, a lifting up white in the skin, and it turned the hair white, and the quickening of living flesh in the lifting up: 11It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall defile him; he shall not shut him up for he is unclean. 12And if breaking out, the leprosy shall break out in the skin, and the leprosy covered all the skin, the stroke from his head and even to his feet, to all the sight of the eyes of the priest: 13And the priest saw, and behold, the leprosy covered all his flesh, and he cleansed the stroke: all of it turned white: he is clean. 14In the day of seeing in him the living flesh, he shall be unclean. 15And the priest saw the living flesh, and he defiled him: the living flesh it is unclean: it is leprosy. 16Or when the living flesh shall turn back and turn to white, he shall be brought to the priest. 17And the priest saw him, and behold, the stroke turned to white; and the priest cleansed the stroke: he is clean.

18And when the flesh shall be in it, in his skin, a burning sore, and was healed, 19And there was in the place of the burning sore a white rising, or brightness, white, reddish, and he was seen to the priest; 20And the priest saw, and behold, the sight low from the skin, and its hair turned white: and the priest defiled him: it is the stroke of leprosy broken out in the burning sore. 21And if the priest shall see it, and behold, no white hair in it, and it not low from the skin, and it was dim; and the priest shut him up seven days: 22And if spreading, it shall spread in the skin, and the priest defiled him: it the stroke. 23And if the brightness shall stand still, lowest, spreading not, it the scar of the burning sore; and the priest cleansed him.

24Or when there shall be flesh in his skin a burning of fire, and there was a quickening of the burning, a brightness reddish white, or white; 25And the priest saw it, and behold, the hair in the brightness was turned white, and the sight was deep from the skin; it leprosy in the burning broken out: and the priest defiled him: it the stroke of leprosy. 26And if the priest shall see it, and behold, no white hair in the burning, and it not being low from the skin, and it was dim; and the priest shut him up seven days. 27And the priest saw him in the seventh day: if spreading, it shall spread in the skin, and the priest shall defile him: it the stroke of leprosy. 28And if the brightness shall stand still, the lowest, spreading not in the skin, and it was dim; it a rising of the burning, and the priest cleansed him: for it a scar of the burning.

29And when a man or woman there shall be in him a stroke upon the head, or in the beard; 30And the priest saw the stroke, and behold, its sight deep from the skin, and in it thin, yellow hair; and the priest defiled him: it a scall, it a leprosy of the head, or of the beard. 31And when the priest shall see the stroke of the scall, and behold, its sight not deep from the skin, and no black hair in it; and the priest shut up the stroke of the scall seven days. 32And the priest saw the stroke in the seventh day: and behold, the scab spread not, and there was no yellow hair in it, and the sight of the scall not deep from the skin; 33And he was shaved, and the scall he shall not shave, and the priest shut up the scall seven days the second time. 34And the priest saw the scall in the seventh day, and behold, the scall spread not in the skin, and its sight not deep from the skin; and the priest cleansed him; and he washed his garments and was clean. 35And if spreading, the scall shall spread in the skin after his purification; 36And the priest saw him: and behold, the scall spread in the skin, the priest shall not search for yellow hair; he is unclean. 37And if in his eyes the scall stood still, and black hair sprang up in it, the scall was healed; he is clean: and the priest cleansed him.

38And when a man or woman shall be in the skin of their flesh a brightness, a white brightness; 39And the priest saw, and behold, in the skin of their flesh a brightness, a dim white; it is a white scurf breaking out in the skin: he is clean.

40And if a man when his head shall become bald, he being bald; he is clean. 41And if from the side of his face his head shall become bald, he is bald; he is clean. 42And when there shall be in his baldness behind, or in his baldness in front, a stroke, reddish white, it is a leprosy broken out in his baldness behind, or in his baldness in front. 43And the priest saw it, and behold, the rising of the stroke, a reddish white, in his baldness behind, or in his baldness in front, as the sight of leprosy, in the skin of the flesh; 44He a leprous man, he unclean: he being unclean the priest shall defile him; his stroke in his head.

45And the leprous in whom the stroke, his garments shall be rent, and his head shall be uncovered, and upon the lips he shall be covered, and he shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 46All the days which the stroke is in him, he shall be unclean: he is unclean: he shall dwell separately; without the camp is his dwelling.

56And if the priest saw, and behold, the stroke dim after washing it: he rent it out of the garment or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof. 57And if it shall be seen still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin; it is breaking out: in the fire thou shalt burn it, that in which is the stroke. 58And the garment, or the warp or the woof, or any vessel of skin which thou shalt wash, and the stroke departed from them, and it was washed the second time, and it was clean.
