New King James Version

Leviticus 13:36-49 New King James Version (NKJV)

36. then the priest shall examine him; and indeed if the scale has spread over the skin, the priest need not seek for yellow hair. He is unclean.

37. But if the scale appears to be at a standstill, and there is black hair grown up in it, the scale has healed. He is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38. “If a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of the body, specifically white bright spots,

39. then the priest shall look; and indeed if the bright spots on the skin of the body are dull white, it is a white spot that grows on the skin. He is clean.

40. “As for the man whose hair has fallen from his head, he is bald, but he is clean.

41. He whose hair has fallen from his forehead, he is bald on the forehead, but he is clean.

42. And if there is on the bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white sore, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.

43. Then the priest shall examine it; and indeed if the swelling of the sore is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the body,

44. he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his sore is on his head.

45. “Now the leper on whom the sore is, his clothes shall be torn and his head bare; and he shall cover his mustache, and cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

46. He shall be unclean. All the days he has the sore he shall be unclean. He is unclean, and he shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.

47. “Also, if a garment has a leprous plague in it, whether it is a woolen garment or a linen garment,

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

49. and if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of leather, it is a leprous plague and shall be shown to the priest.
