New Living Translation

Leviticus 13:33-41 New Living Translation (NLT)

33. the person must shave off all hair except the hair on the affected area. Then the priest must quarantine the person for another seven days.

34. On the seventh day he will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and appears to be no more than skin-deep, the priest will pronounce the person ceremonially clean. The person’s clothing must be washed, and the person will be ceremonially clean.

35. But if the scabby sore begins to spread after the person is pronounced clean,

36. the priest must do another examination. If he finds that the sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair. The infected person is ceremonially unclean.

37. But if the color of the scabby sore does not change and black hair has grown on it, it has healed. The priest will then pronounce the person ceremonially clean.

38. “If anyone, either a man or woman, has shiny white patches on the skin,

39. the priest must examine the affected area. If he finds that the shiny patches are only pale white, this is a harmless skin rash, and the person is ceremonially clean.

40. “If a man loses his hair and his head becomes bald, he is still ceremonially clean.

41. And if he loses hair on his forehead, he simply has a bald forehead; he is still clean.
