Leviticus 13:40-50

40 A man of whose head the hairs float away, he is bald, and clean; (A man from whose head the hairs float away, he is bald, and is clean;)
41 and if the hairs fall from the forehead, he is bald, and is clean;
42 else if in the baldness before, either in the baldness behind (but if in the baldness at the front, or in the baldness at the back), white either red colour is bred, or is sprung up,
43 and the priest seeth this, he shall condemn the man, without (any) doubt of (him having) leprosy, which is bred in the baldness.
44 Therefore whoever is defouled with leprosy, and is separated from other men, at the doom of the priest (by the priest's pronouncement),
45 he shall have his clothes unsewed (he shall wear torn clothes), and his head (shall be) bare, and his mouth (shall be) covered with a cloth, [and] he shall cry himself (to be) defouled, and vile;
46 in all the time that he is leprous and unclean, he shall dwell alone, without the tents. (and in all the time that he is leprous and unclean, he shall live alone, away from the tents.)
47 A woollen cloth, either linen, (A woollen cloak, or a linen one,)
48 that hath leprosy in the warp, either woof, either certainly a skin, or a pilch, either whatever thing is made of skin,
49 if it is corrupted with a white spot, either red, it shall be areckoned (to be) leprosy, and it shall be showed to the priest;
50 the which when he hath beheld (it), shall close it up seven days (shall enclose it for seven days).
