Leviticus 13:38-49 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

38. If a whiteness will have appeared in the skin of a man or a woman,

39. the priest shall examine them. If he detects an obscured whiteness shining in the skin, may he know that it is not leprosy, but a white-colored blemish, and that the man is clean.

40. The man whose hair falls off of his head is bald and clean.

41. And if the hair falls off of his forehead, he is bald in front and clean.

42. But if in the bald head or bald forehead there has arisen a white or reddish color,

43. and the priest will have seen this, he shall condemn him without doubt of leprosy, which has arisen in the baldness.

44. Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest,

45. shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy.

46. The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp.

47. A woolen or linen garment that will have held the leprosy,

48. in the main fibers or in any of the threads, or certainly in a skin, or whatever has been made from a skin,

49. if it has been infected with a white or red spot, it shall be considered to be leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.
