Leviticus 13:41-51 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
41
If he has lost his hair from the front of his scalp and has a bald forehead, he is clean.
42
But if he has a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on his head or forehead.
43
The priest is to examine him, and if the swollen sore on his head or forehead is reddish-white like an infectious skin disease,
44
the man is diseased and is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean because of the sore on his head.
45
"The person with such an infectious disease must wear torn clothes,1 let his hair be unkempt,a cover the lower part of his face2 and cry out, 'Unclean! Unclean!'3
46
As long as he has the infection he remains unclean. He must live alone; he must live outside the camp.4
Regulations About Mildew
47 "If any clothing is contaminated with mildew--any woolen or linen clothing, 48 any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather-- 49 and if the contamination in the clothing, or leather, or woven or knitted material, or any leather article, is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew and must be shown to the priest.5 50 The priest is to examine the mildew6 and isolate the affected article for seven days. 51 On the seventh day he is to examine it,7 and if the mildew has spread in the clothing, or the woven or knitted material, or the leather, whatever its use, it is a destructive mildew; the article is unclean.8Scripture quoted by permission.
