37
But if in his eyes the itch is checked, and black hair has grown in it, the itch is healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38
"When a man or a woman has spots on the skin of the body, white spots,
39
the priest shall make an examination, and if the spots on the skin of the body are of a dull white, it is tetter that has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
40
"If a man's hair has fallen from his head, he is bald but he is clean.
41
And if a man's hair has fallen from his forehead and temples, he has baldness of the forehead but he is clean.
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.
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,
44
he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest must pronounce him unclean; his disease is 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.'
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.
47
"When there is a leprous disease in a garment, whether a woolen or a linen garment,
48
in warp or woof of linen or wool, or in a skin or in anything made of skin,
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.
50
And the priest shall examine the disease, and shut up that which has the disease 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.
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.
53
"And if the priest examines, and the disease has not spread in the garment in warp or woof or in anything of skin,
54
then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which is the disease, and he shall shut it up seven days more;
55
and the priest shall examine the diseased thing after it has been washed. And if the diseased spot has not changed color, though the disease has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire, whether the leprous spot is on the back or on the front.
56
"But if the priest examines, and the disease is dim after it is washed, he shall tear the spot out of the garment or the skin or the warp or woof;
57
then if it appears again in the garment, in warp or woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading; you shall burn with fire that in which is the disease.
