Leviticus 13:33-49 New English Translation (NET)

33. then the individual is to shave himself, but he must not shave the area affected by the scall, and the priest is to quarantine the person with the scall for another seven days.

34. The priest must then examine the scall on the seventh day, and if the scall has not spread on the skin and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him clean. So he is to wash his clothes and be clean.

35. If, however, the scall spreads further on the skin after his purification,

36. then the priest is to examine it, and if the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair. The person is unclean.

37. If, as far as the priest can see, the scall has stayed the same and black hair has sprouted in it, the scall has been healed; the person is clean. So the priest is to pronounce him clean.

38. “When a man or a woman has bright spots – white bright spots – on the skin of their body,

39. the priest is to examine them, and if the bright spots on the skin of their body are faded white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin. The person is clean.

40. “When a man’s head is bare so that he is balding in back, he is clean.

41. If his head is bare on the forehead so that he is balding in front, he is clean.

42. But if there is a reddish white infection in the back or front bald area, it is a disease breaking out in his back or front bald area.

43. The priest is to examine it, and if the swelling of the infection is reddish white in the back or front bald area like the appearance of a disease on the skin of the body,

44. he is a diseased man. He is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his infection on his head.

45. “As for the diseased person who has the infection, his clothes must be torn, the hair of his head must be unbound, he must cover his mustache, and he must call out ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

46. The whole time he has the infection he will be continually unclean. He must live in isolation, and his place of residence must be outside the camp.

47. “When a garment has a diseased infection in it, whether a wool or linen garment,

48. or in the warp or woof of the linen or the wool, or in leather or anything made of leather,

49. if the infection in the garment or leather or warp or woof or any article of leather is yellowish green or reddish, it is a diseased infection and it must be shown to the priest.
