Leviticus 13

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

2 When a person has a swelling, a scab, or a shiny spot on their skin, and it becomes an infection of skin disease on their skin, they will be brought to the priests, either to Aaron or one of his sons.

3 The priest will examine the infection on the skin. If hair in the infected area has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin, then it is an infection of skin disease. Once the priest sees this, he will declare the person unclean.

4 But if the shiny spot on the skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin and the hair has not turned white, the priest will quarantine the infected person for seven days.

5 On the seventh day the priest will again examine the infection. If he sees that it has remained the same—the infection has not spread on the skin—the priest will quarantine the person for seven more days.

6 On the seventh day the priest will examine it again. If the infection has faded and has not spread over the skin, the priest will declare the person clean; it is just a rash. The person must wash their clothes, then they will be clean again.

7 But if the rash continues to spread over the skin after they appeared before the priest for purification, they must again show themselves to the priest.

8 If the priest sees that the rash has spread over the skin, the priest will declare the person unclean; it is a case of skin disease.

9 Whenever someone has an infection of skin disease, they will be brought to the priest.

10 If the priest sees that there is a white swelling on the skin, it has turned the hair white, and there is a patch of raw flesh in the swelling,

11 then it is a case of chronic skin disease on their skin. The priest will declare the person unclean. The priest will not quarantine such persons, because they are already unclean.

12 But if the skin disease continues to break out so that the disease covers all of the infected person's skin from head to toe, as far as the priest can tell—

13 then the priest will make an examination. If the skin disease has covered the person's whole body, the priest will declare the infected person clean. The person has turned entirely white; he is clean.

14 But as soon as raw flesh appears in the swelling, they will be unclean.

15 When the priest sees the raw flesh, he will declare the person unclean. Raw flesh is unclean; it is a case of skin disease.

16 But if the raw flesh turns white again, the person will go back to the priest.

17 The priest will examine it. If the infection has turned white, the priest will declare the infected person clean; at that point, the person is clean.

18 Whenever someone has a boil on their skin, it heals,

19 and in place of the boil there is a white swelling or reddish-white shiny spot, it must be shown to the priest.

20 If the priest sees that it appears to be lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest will declare the person unclean. It is an infection of skin disease that has broken out in the boil.

21 But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in it, it is not lower than the skin, and it is faded, the priest will quarantine the person seven days.

22 If it continues to spread over the skin, the priest will declare the person unclean; it is an infection.

23 But if the shiny spot remains where it was and does not spread, it is just a scar from the boil. The priest will declare the person clean.

24 Whenever there is a burn on someone's skin, and the raw patch of the burn becomes a reddish-white or white shiny spot,

25 the priest will examine it. If the hair has turned white in the shiny spot, and it appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a case of skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest will declare the person unclean; it is an infection of skin disease.

26 But if the priest examines it, and there is no white hair in the shiny spot, it is not lower than the skin, and it is faded, the priest will quarantine the person seven days.

27 On the seventh day the priest will again examine it. If it has continued to spread over the skin, the priest will declare the person unclean; it is an infection of skin disease.

28 But if the shiny spot remains where it was, has not spread over the skin, and is faded, it is just swelling from the burn. The priest will declare the person clean, because it is just the scar from the burn.

29 Whenever a man or woman has an infection, whether on the head or in the beard,

30 the priest will examine it. If it appears to be deeper than the skin, and there is thin yellow hair in it, the priest will declare the person unclean; it is a case of scabies—a skin disease of the head or beard.

31 When the priest examines the scabies infection, if it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, but there is no black hair in it, the priest will quarantine the person with the scabies infection for seven days.

32 On the seventh day the priest will examine the infection again. If the scabies has not spread, there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,

33 the person must shave the area, without shaving the scabies. The priest will then quarantine that person another seven days.

34 On the seventh day the priest will again examine the scabies. If it has not spread over the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest will declare the person clean. They must wash their clothes; then they will be clean again.

35 But if the scabies continues to spread over the skin after the person's purification,

36 the priest must examine it again. If the scabies has spread over the skin at all, the priest does not need to look for the yellow hair; the person is unclean.

37 But if the priest sees that the scabies has remained the same, and black hair has grown in it, the scabies has healed. The person is clean, and the priest will declare them to be so.

38 Whenever a man or woman has many white shiny spots on their skin,

39 if the priest sees that there are faded white shiny spots on the skin of the body, it is just a rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

40 If someone loses their hair, they are bald, but they are clean.

41 If the hair is lost at the sides of the forehead, the person has a receding hairline, but they are clean.

42 But whenever there is a reddish-white infection in the bald spot or in the receding hairline, it is a case of skin disease breaking out there.

43 The priest must examine it. If the swelling of the infection is reddish white in the bald spot or receding hairline and resembles skin disease on the body,

44 the person is afflicted with skin disease; they are unclean. The priest must declare them unclean on account of the head infection.

45 Anyone with an infection of skin disease must wear torn clothes, dishevel their hair, cover their upper lip, and shout out, "Unclean! Unclean!"

46 They will be unclean as long as they are infected. They are unclean. They must live alone outside the camp.

47 Whenever there is an infection of skin disease on clothing—on wool or linen clothing,

48 in the weaving of the linen or wool, or on a skin or skin item—

49 and the infection is greenish or reddish on the clothing, the weaving, or the skin or skin item, it is an infection of skin disease. It must be shown to the priest.

50 The priest will examine the infection and quarantine the infected item seven days.

51 On the seventh day he will examine the infection again. If the infection has spread in the clothing, the weaving, or the skin, whatever it is used for, the infection is a case of infectious skin disease; the item is unclean.

52 The priest will burn the clothing, the weaving of the wool or linen, or whatever skin item in which the infection was found, because it is an infectious skin disease; it must be burned with fire.

53 But if the priest sees that the infection has not spread in the clothing, the weaving, or on any skin item,

54 the priest will order that the infected piece be washed, and he will quarantine it for another seven days.

55 After it has been washed, if the priest sees that the infection has not changed its appearance, even though the infection has not spread, it is unclean. You must burn it with fire. It is a fungus, whether it is on the inside or outside.

56 But if, after it is washed, the priest sees that the infection has faded, he will tear the infected part out of the cloth, the weaving, or the skin.

57 If it appears again in the cloth, the weaving, or any item of skin, it is starting to break out. You must burn the infected item with fire.

58 But if the infection disappears from the cloth, the weaving, or any item of skin that you washed, it must be washed again. Then it will be clean.

59 This concludes the Instruction about the infection of skin disease in a woolen or linen cloth, weaving, or any skin item, in order to declare whether it is clean or unclean.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses and Aaron,

2 "When someone has a swelling or a blister or a shiny spot on the skin that might signal a serious skin disease on the body, bring him to Aaron the priest or to one of his priest sons.

3 The priest will examine the sore on the skin. If the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears more than skin deep, it is a serious skin disease and infectious. After the priest has examined it, he will pronounce the person unclean.

4 "If the shiny spot on the skin is white but appears to be only on the surface and the hair has not turned white, the priest will quarantine the person for seven days.

5 On the seventh day the priest will examine it again; if, in his judgment, the sore is the same and has not spread, the priest will keep him in quarantine for another seven days.

6 On the seventh day the priest will examine him a second time; if the sore has faded and hasn't spread, the priest will declare him clean - it is a harmless rash. The person can go home and wash his clothes; he is clean.

7 But if the sore spreads after he has shown himself to the priest and been declared clean, he must come back again to the priest

8 who will conduct another examination. If the sore has spread, the priest will pronounce him unclean - it is a serious skin disease and infectious.

9 "Whenever someone has a serious and infectious skin disease, you must bring him to the priest.

10 The priest will examine him; if there is a white swelling in the skin, the hair is turning white, and there is an open sore in the swelling,

11 it is a chronic skin disease. The priest will pronounce him unclean. But he doesn't need to quarantine him because he's already given his diagnosis of unclean.

12 If a serious disease breaks out that covers all the skin from head to foot, wherever the priest looks,

13 the priest will make a thorough examination; if the disease covers his entire body, he will pronounce the person with the sore clean - since it has turned all white, he is clean.

14 But if they are open, running sores, he is unclean.

15 The priest will examine the open sores and pronounce him unclean. The open sores are unclean; they are evidence of a serious skin disease.

16 But if the open sores dry up and turn white, he is to come back to the priest

17 who will reexamine him; if the sores have turned white, the priest will pronounce the person with the sores clean. He is clean.

18 "When a person has a boil and it heals

19 and in place of the boil there is white swelling or a reddish-white shiny spot, the person must present himself to the priest

20 for an examination. If it looks like it has penetrated the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest will pronounce him unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has broken out in the boil.

21 But if the examination shows that there is no white hair in it and it is only skin deep and has faded, the priest will put him in quarantine for seven days.

22 If it then spreads over the skin, the priest will diagnose him as unclean. It is infectious.

23 But if the shiny spot has not changed and hasn't spread, it's only a scar from the boil. The priest will pronounce him clean.

24 "When a person has a burn on his skin and the raw flesh turns into a reddish-white or white shiny spot,

25 the priest is to examine it. If the hair has turned white in the shiny spot and it looks like it's more than skin deep, a serious skin disease has erupted in the area of the burn. The priest will pronounce him unclean; it is a serious skin disease and infectious.

26 But if on examination there is no white hair in the shiny spot and it doesn't look to be more than skin deep but has faded, the priest will put him in quarantine for seven days.

27 On the seventh day the priest will reexamine him. If by then it has spread over the skin, the priest will diagnose him as unclean; it is a serious skin disease and infectious.

28 If by that time the shiny spot has stayed the same and has not spread but has faded, it is only a swelling from the burn. The priest will pronounce him clean; it's only a scar from the burn.

29 "If a man or woman develops a sore on the head or chin,

30 the priest will offer a diagnosis. If it looks as if it is under the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, he will pronounce the person ritually unclean. It is an itch, an infectious skin disease.

31 But if when he examines the itch, he finds it is only skin deep and there is no black hair in it, he will put the person in quarantine for seven days.

32 On the seventh day he will reexamine the sore; if the itch has not spread, there is no yellow hair in it, and it looks as if the itch is only skin deep,

33 the person must shave, except for the itch; the priest will send him back to quarantine for another seven days.

34 If the itch has not spread, and looks to be only skin deep, the priest will pronounce him clean. The person can go home and wash his clothes; he is clean.

35 But if the itch spreads after being pronounced clean,

36 the priest must reexamine it; if the itch has spread in the skin, he doesn't have to look any farther, for yellow hair, for instance; he is unclean.

37 But if he sees that the itch is unchanged and black hair has begun to grow in it, the itch is healed. The person is clean and the priest will pronounce him clean.

38 "When a man or woman gets shiny or white shiny spots on the skin,

39 the priest is to make an examination; if the shiny spots are dull white, it is only a rash that has broken out: The person is clean.

40 "When a man loses his hair and goes bald, he is clean.

41 If he loses his hair from his forehead, he is bald and he is clean.

42 But if he has a reddish-white sore on scalp or forehead, it means a serious skin disease is breaking out.

43 The priest is to examine it; if the swollen sore on his scalp or forehead is reddish-white like the appearance of the sore of a serious skin disease,

44 he has a serious skin disease and is unclean. The priest has to pronounce him unclean because of the sore on his head.

45 "Any person with a serious skin disease must wear torn clothes, leave his hair loose and unbrushed, cover his upper lip, and cry out, 'Unclean! Unclean!'

46 As long as anyone has the sores, that one continues to be ritually unclean. That person must live alone; he or she must live outside the camp.

47 "If clothing - woolen or linen clothing,

48 woven or knitted cloth of linen or wool, leather or leatherwork - is infected with a patch of serious fungus

49 and if the spot in the clothing or the leather or the woven or the knitted material or anything made of leather is greenish or rusty, that is a sign of serious fungus. Show it to the priest.

50 The priest will examine the spot and then confiscate the material for seven days.

51 On the seventh day he will reexamine the spot. If it has spread in the garment - the woven or knitted or leather material - it is the spot of a persistent serious fungus and the material is unclean.

52 He must burn the garment. Because of the persistent and contaminating fungus, the material must be burned.

53 But if when the priest examines it the spot has not spread in the garment,

54 the priest will command the owner to wash the material that has the spot, and he will confiscate it for another seven days.

55 He'll then make another examination after it has been washed; if the spot hasn't changed in appearance, even though it hasn't spread, it is still unclean. Burn it up, whether the fungus has affected the back or the front.

56 If, when the priest makes his examination, the spot has faded after it has been washed, he is to tear the spot from the garment.

57 But if it reappears, it is a fresh outbreak - throw whatever has the spot in the fire.

58 If the garment is washed and the spot has gone away, then wash it a second time; it is clean.

59 "These are the instructions regarding a spot of serious fungus in clothing of wool or linen, woven or knitted material, or any article of leather, for pronouncing them clean or unclean."
