Leviticus 13:10-29 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. the priest shall examine it, and if a white swelling is on the skin and it turns the hair white and raw flesh is in the swelling,

11. it is a chronic infectious skin disease on his body’s skin, and the priest shall declare him unclean; he shall not confine him, because he is unclean.

12. And if the infectious skin disease breaks out all over on the skin and the infectious skin disease covers all of the afflicted person’s skin from his head to his feed, so far as the priest can see,

13. then the priest shall examine it, and if the infectious skin disease covers his whole body, then he shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—all of it has turned white; he is clean.

14. But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he shall become unclean.

15. And the priest shall examine the raw flesh, and he shall pronounce him unclean—the raw flesh is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease.

16. Or, when the raw flesh returns and it has changed to white, then he shall come to the priest,

17. and the priest shall examine him, and if the infection has changed to white, then the priest shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—he is clean.

18. “And when someone’s body has a skin sore on his skin and it is healed

22. But if it has spread further on the skin, then the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infection.

23. But if the spot has stayed unchanged, it has not spread, it is the skin sore’s scar, so the priest shall declare him clean.

24. “Or when a body has a burn-spot from fire on its skin and the raw flesh of the burn-spot is pinkish or white,

25. then the priest shall examine it, and if the hair turns white in the spot and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is an infectious skin disease—it has broken out in the burn-spot; so the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease.

26. But if the priest examines it and if there is not white hair in the spot and it is not deeper than the skin and it is faded, then the priest shall confine him for seven days.
