King James Version, Updated™

(1) The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

(2) "When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it is in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests.

(3) And the priest shall look at the plague in the skin of the flesh, and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the plague appears deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look at him, and pronounce him unclean.

(4) If the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and appears not to be deeper than the skin, and the hair of it has not turned white, then the priest shall enclose him that has the plague seven days in isolation.

(5) The priest shall look at him on the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague in his sight has ceased to spread in the skin; then the priest shall enclose and isolate him seven more days.

(6) And the priest shall look at him again on the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague is somewhat dark, and the plague has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is just a scab, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

(7) But if the scab has spread much further in the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again.

(8) And if the priest sees that, behold, the scab has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a leprosy.

(9) When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;

(10) And the priest shall see him, and, behold, if the rising is white in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is a raw spot of flesh in the rising,

(11) it is an old leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not enclose and isolate him, for he is unclean.

(12) And if a leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of him who has the plague from his head even to his foot, wherever the priest looks,

(13) then the priest shall consider, and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce him clean who has the plague; if it has all turned white, he is clean.

(14) But when raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean.

(15) The priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean; for the raw flesh is unclean; it is a leprosy.

(16) Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, he shall come to the priest,

(17) and the priest shall see him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean who has the plague; he is clean.

(18) If the flesh had a boil in the skin, and is healed,

(19) and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, then it shall be shown to the priest;

(20) If when the priest sees it, and, it appears deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

(21) But if the priest looks at it, and, behold, there are no white hairs in it, and if it is not deeper than the skin, but is somewhat dark, then the priest shall enclose and isolate him seven days.

(22) And if it has spread much further in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a plague.

(23) But if the bright spot stays in its place, and does not spread, it is a burning boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

(24) If there is any part of the body that has a burn by fire on its skin, and the raw spot that is burned has a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white,

(25) then the priest shall look at it; if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy broken out from the burning; therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the plague of leprosy.

(26) But if the priest looks at it, and, there are no white hairs in the bright spot, and it is no deeper than the other skin, but is somewhat dark, then the priest shall enclose and isolate him seven days.

(27) And the priest shall look at him the on the seventh day, and if it has spread much further in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the plague of leprosy.

(28) If the bright spot stays in its place, and does not spread in the skin, but it is somewhat dark, it is a rising from the burning, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is an inflammation of the burning.

(29) If a man or woman has a plague on the head or the beard,

(30) then the priest shall look at the plague and see if it appears deeper than the skin, and if there is in it a yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a dry scab, a leprosy on the head or beard.

(31) If the priest looks at the plague of the scab, and, behold, it does not appear deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall enclose and isolate him that has the plague of the scab seven days.

(32) And on the seventh day the priest shall look at the plague, and, behold, if the scab has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the scab does not appear deeper than the skin,

(33) he shall be shaved, but the scab he shall not shave; the priest shall enclose and isolate him that has the scab for seven more days.

(34) Then on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scalb; and, behold, if the scab has not spread in the skin, nor does it appear deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;

36 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,

37 But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.

40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.

42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;

44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

46 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;

48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;

49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:

50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:

51 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.

52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;

54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:

55 And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.

56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:

57 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.

58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.

59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
