Revised Standard Version RSV
New International Version NIV
42 But if there is on the bald head or the bald forehead a reddish-white diseased spot, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.
42
But if he has a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is a defiling disease breaking out on his head or forehead.
43 Then the priest shall examine him, and if the diseased swelling is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,
43
The priest is to examine him, and if the swollen sore on his head or forehead is reddish-white like a defiling skin disease,
44 he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest must pronounce him unclean; his disease is on his head.
44
the man is diseased and is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean because of the sore on his head.
45 "The leper who has the disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head hang loose, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry, 'Unclean, unclean.'
45
“Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
46 He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease; he is unclean; he shall dwell alone in a habitation outside the camp.
46
As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.
47 "When there is a leprous disease in a garment, whether a woolen or a linen garment,
47
“As for any fabric that is spoiled with a defiling mold—any woolen or linen clothing,
48 in warp or woof of linen or wool, or in a skin or in anything made of skin,
48
any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather—
49 if the disease shows greenish or reddish in the garment, whether in warp or woof or in skin or in anything made of skin, it is a leprous disease and shall be shown to the priest.
49
if the affected area in the fabric, the leather, the woven or knitted material, or any leather article, is greenish or reddish, it is a defiling mold and must be shown to the priest.
50 And the priest shall examine the disease, and shut up that which has the disease for seven days;
50
The priest is to examine the affected area and isolate the article for seven days.
51 then he shall examine the disease on the seventh day. If the disease has spread in the garment, in warp or woof, or in the skin, whatever be the use of the skin, the disease is a malignant leprosy; it is unclean.
51
On the seventh day he is to examine it, and if the mold has spread in the fabric, the woven or knitted material, or the leather, whatever its use, it is a persistent defiling mold; the article is unclean.
52 And he shall burn the garment, whether diseased in warp or woof, woolen or linen, or anything of skin, for it is a malignant leprosy; it shall be burned in the fire.
52
He must burn the fabric, the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or any leather article that has been spoiled; because the defiling mold is persistent, the article must be burned.
