10. And he shall view him. And when there shall be a white colour in the skin, and it shall have changed the look of the hair, and the living flesh itself shall appear:

11. It shall be judged an inveterate leprosy, and grown into the skin. The priest therefore shall declare him unclean, and shall not shut him up, because he is evidently unclean.

12. But if the leprosy spring out running about in the skin, and cover all the skin from the head to the feet, whatsoever falleth under the sight of the eyes,

13. The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean.

14. But when the live flesh shall appear in him,

15. Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean: for live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean.

16. And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man,

17. The priest shall view him, and shall judge him to be clean.

18. When also there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has been healed,

19. And in the place of the ulcer, there appeareth a white scar, or somewhat red, the man shall be brought to the priest:

20. And when he shall see the place of the leprosy lower than the other flesh, and the hair turned white, he shall declare him unclean, for the plague of leprosy is broken out in the ulcer.

21. But if the hair be of the former colour, and the scar somewhat obscure, and be not lower than the flesh that is near it, he shall shut him up seven days.

22. And if it spread, he shall judge him to have the leprosy:

23. But if it stay in its place, it is but the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.

24. The flesh also and skin that hath been burnt, and after it is healed hath a white or a red scar,

25. The priest shall view it, and if he see it turned white, and the place thereof is lower than the other skin: he shall declare him unclean, because the evil of leprosy is broken out in the scar.

26. But if the colour of the hair be not changed, nor the blemish lower than the other flesh, and the appearance of the leprosy be somewhat obscure, he shall shut him up seven days,

27. And on the seventh day he shall view him: if the leprosy be grown farther in the skin, he shall declare him unclean.

28. But if the whiteness stay in its place, and be not very clear, it is the sore of a burning, and therefore he shall be cleansed, because it is only the scar of a burning.

29. If the leprosy break out in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the Priest shall see them,
