The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens
2 "When a person has on the skin of his body a swelling or an eruption or a spot, and it turns into a case of leprous disease on the skin of his body, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests,
2 homo in cuius carne et cute ortus fuerit diversus color sive pustula aut quasi lucens quippiam id est plaga leprae adducetur ad Aaron sacerdotem vel ad unum quemlibet filiorum eius
3 and the priest shall examine the diseased area on the skin of his body. And if the hair in the diseased area has turned white and the disease appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a case of leprous disease. When the priest has examined him, he shall pronounce him unclean.
3 qui cum viderit lepram in cute et pilos in album mutatos colorem ipsamque speciem leprae humiliorem cute et carne reliqua plaga leprae est et ad arbitrium eius separabitur
4 But if the spot is white in the skin of his body and appears no deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall shut up the diseased person for seven days.
4 sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute nec humilior carne reliqua et pili coloris pristini recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus
5 And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and if in his eyes the disease is checked and the disease has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up for another seven days.
5 et considerabit die septimo et siquidem lepra ultra non creverit nec transierit in cute priores terminos rursum includet eum septem diebus aliis
6 And the priest shall examine him again on the seventh day, and if the diseased area has faded and the disease has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only an eruption. And he shall wash his clothes and be clean.
6 et die septimo contemplabitur si obscurior fuerit lepra et non creverit in cute mundabit eum quia scabies est lavabitque homo vestimenta sua et mundus erit
7 But if the eruption spreads in the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall appear again before the priest.
7 quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est et redditus munditiae iterum lepra creverit adducetur ad eum
8 And the priest shall look, and if the eruption has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a leprous disease.
8 et inmunditiae condemnabitur
9 "When a man is afflicted with a leprous disease, he shall be brought to the priest,
9 plaga leprae si fuerit in homine adducetur ad sacerdotem
10 and the priest shall look. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
10 et videbit eum cumque color albus in cute fuerit et capillorum mutarit aspectum ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit
11 it is a chronic leprous disease in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not shut him up, for he is unclean.
11 lepra vetustissima iudicabitur atque inolita cuti contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos et non recludet quia perspicue inmunditia est
12 And if the leprous disease breaks out in the skin, so that the leprous disease covers all the skin of the diseased person from head to foot, so far as the priest can see,
12 sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute et operuerit omnem carnem a capite usque ad pedes quicquid sub aspectu oculorum cadit
13 then the priest shall look, and if the leprous disease has covered all his body, he shall pronounce him clean of the disease; it has all turned white, and he is clean.
13 considerabit eum sacerdos et teneri lepra mundissima iudicabit eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit et idcirco homo mundus erit
14 But when raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean.
14 quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit
15 And the priest shall examine the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean. Raw flesh is unclean, for it is a leprous disease.
15 tunc sacerdotis iudicio polluetur et inter inmundos reputabitur caro enim viva si lepra aspergatur inmunda est
16 But if the raw flesh recovers and turns white again, then he shall come to the priest,
16 quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem et totum hominem operuerit
17 and the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the diseased person clean; he is clean.
17 considerabit eum sacerdos et mundum esse decernet
18 "If there is in the skin of one's body a boil and it heals,
18 caro et cutis in qua ulcus natum est et sanatum
19 and in the place of the boil there comes a white swelling or a reddish-white spot, then it shall be shown to the priest.
19 et in loco ulceris cicatrix apparuerit alba sive subrufa adducetur homo ad sacerdotem
20 And the priest shall look, and if it appears deeper than the skin and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a case of leprous disease that has broken out in the boil.
20 qui cum viderit locum leprae humiliorem carne reliqua et pilos versos in candorem contaminabit eum plaga enim leprae orta est in ulcere
21 But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in it and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.
21 quod si pilus coloris est pristini et cicatrix subobscura et vicina carne non est humilior recludet eum septem diebus
22 And if it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a disease.
22 et siquidem creverit adiudicabit eum leprae
23 But if the spot remains in one place and does not spread, it is the scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
23 sin autem steterit in loco suo ulceris est cicatrix et homo mundus erit
24 "Or, when the body has a burn on its skin and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a spot, reddish-white or white,
24 caro et cutis quam ignis exuserit et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem
25 the priest shall examine it, and if the hair in the spot has turned white and it appears deeper than the skin, then it is a leprous disease. It has broken out in the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a case of leprous disease.
25 considerabit eam sacerdos et ecce versa est in alborem et locus eius reliqua cute humilior contaminabit eum quia plaga leprae in cicatrice orta est
26 But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot and it is no deeper than the skin, but has faded, the priest shall shut him up seven days,
26 quod si pilorum color non fuerit inmutatus nec humilior plaga carne reliqua et ipsa leprae species fuerit subobscura recludet eum septem diebus
27 and the priest shall examine him the seventh day. If it is spreading in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a case of leprous disease.
27 et die septimo contemplabitur si creverit in cute lepra contaminabit eum
28 But if the spot remains in one place and does not spread in the skin, but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar of the burn.
28 sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus plaga conbustionis est et idcirco mundabitur quia cicatrix est conbusturae
29 "When a man or woman has a disease on the head or the beard,
29 vir sive mulier in cuius capite vel barba germinarit lepra videbit eos sacerdos
30 the priest shall examine the disease. And if it appears deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch, a leprous disease of the head or the beard.
30 et siquidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua et capillus flavus solitoque subtilior contaminabit eos quia lepra capitis ac barbae est
31 And if the priest examines the itching disease and it appears no deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up the person with the itching disease for seven days,
31 sin autem viderit et locum maculae aequalem vicinae carni et capillum nigrum recludet eos septem diebus
32 and on the seventh day the priest shall examine the disease. If the itch has not spread, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the itch appears to be no deeper than the skin,
32 et die septimo intuebitur si non creverit macula et capillus sui coloris est et locus plagae carni reliquae aequalis
33 then he shall shave himself, but the itch he shall not shave; and the priest shall shut up the person with the itching disease for another seven days.
33 radetur homo absque loco maculae et includetur septem diebus aliis
34 And on the seventh day the priest shall examine the itch, and if the itch has not spread in the skin and it appears to be no deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. And he shall wash his clothes and be clean.
34 si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo nec humilior carne reliqua mundabit eum lotisque vestibus mundus erit
35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
35 sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute
36 then the priest shall examine him, and if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
36 non quaeret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit commutatus quia aperte inmundus est
37 But if in his eyes the itch is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, the itch is healed and he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
37 porro si steterit macula et capilli nigri fuerint noverit hominem esse sanatum et confidenter eum pronuntiet mundum
38 "When a man or a woman has spots on the skin of the body, white spots,
38 vir et mulier in cuius cute candor apparuerit
39 the priest shall look, and if the spots on the skin of the body are of a dull white, it is leukoderma that has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
39 intuebitur eos sacerdos si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute sciat non esse lepram sed maculam coloris candidi et hominem mundum
40 "If a man's hair falls out from his head, he is bald; he is clean.
40 vir de cuius capite capilli fluunt calvus ac mundus est
41 And if a man's hair falls out from his forehead, he has baldness of the forehead; he is clean.
41 et si a fronte ceciderint pili recalvaster et mundus est
42 But if there is on the bald head or the bald forehead a reddish-white diseased area, it is a leprous disease breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.
42 sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus
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 leprous disease in the skin of the body,
43 et hoc sacerdos viderit condemnabit eum haut dubiae leprae quae orta est in calvitio
44 he is a leprous man, he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean; his disease is on his head.
44 quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra et separatus ad arbitrium sacerdotis
45 "The leprous person 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 out, 'Unclean, unclean.'
45 habebit vestimenta dissuta caput nudum os veste contectum contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit
46 He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp.
46 omni tempore quo leprosus est et inmundus solus habitabit extra castra
47 "When there is a case of leprous disease in a garment, whether a woolen or a linen garment,
47 vestis lanea sive linea quae lepram habuerit
48 in warp or woof of linen or wool, or in a skin or in anything made of skin,
48 in stamine atque subtemine aut certe pellis vel quicquid ex pelle confectum est
49 if the disease is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin or in the warp or the woof or in any article made of skin, it is a case of leprous disease, and it shall be shown to the priest.
49 si alba aut rufa macula fuerit infecta lepra reputabitur ostendeturque sacerdoti
50 And the priest shall examine the disease and shut up that which has the disease for seven days.
50 qui consideratam recludet septem diebus
51 Then he shall examine the disease on the seventh day. If the disease has spread in the garment, in the warp or the woof, or in the skin, whatever be the use of the skin, the disease is a persistent leprous disease; it is unclean.
51 et die septimo rursus aspiciens si crevisse deprehenderit lepra perseverans est pollutum iudicabit vestimentum et omne in quo fuerit inventa
52 And he shall burn the garment, or the warp or the woof, the wool or the linen, or any article made of skin that is diseased, for it is a persistent leprous disease. It shall be burned in the fire.
52 et idcirco conburetur flammis
53 "And if the priest examines, and if the disease has not spread in the garment, in the warp or the woof or in any article made of skin,
53 quod si eam viderit non crevisse
54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which is the disease, and he shall shut it up for another seven days.
54 praecipiet et lavabunt id in quo lepra est recludetque illud septem diebus aliis
55 And the priest shall examine the diseased thing after it has been washed. And if the appearance of the diseased area has not changed, though the disease has not spread, it is unclean. You shall burn it in the fire, whether the rot is on the back or on the front.
55 et cum viderit faciem quidem pristinam non reversam nec tamen crevisse lepram inmundum iudicabit et igne conburet eo quod infusa sit in superficie vestimenti vel per totum lepra
56 "But if the priest examines, and if the diseased area has faded after it has been washed, he shall tear it out of the garment or the skin or the warp or the woof.
56 sin autem obscurior fuerit locus leprae postquam vestis est lota abrumpet eum et a solido dividet
57 Then if it appears again in the garment, in the warp or the woof, or in any article made of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn with fire whatever has the disease.
57 quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis quae prius inmaculata erant lepra volatilis et vaga debet igne conburi
58 But the garment, or the warp or the woof, or any article made of skin from which the disease departs when you have washed it, shall then be washed a second time, and be clean."
58 si cessaverit lavabit ea quae pura sunt secundo et munda erunt
59 This is the law for a case of leprous disease in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp or the woof, or in any article made of skin, to determine whether it is clean or unclean.
59 ista est lex leprae vestimenti lanei et linei staminis atque subteminis omnisque supellectilis pelliciae quomodo mundari debeat vel contaminari
