Leviticus 13:11-21

11 lepra vetustissima iudicabitur atque inolita cuti contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos et non recludet quia perspicue inmunditia est

12 sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute et operuerit omnem carnem a capite usque ad pedes quicquid sub aspectu oculorum cadit

13 considerabit eum sacerdos et teneri lepra mundissima iudicabit eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit et idcirco homo mundus erit

14 quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit

15 tunc sacerdotis iudicio polluetur et inter inmundos reputabitur caro enim viva si lepra aspergatur inmunda est

16 quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem et totum hominem operuerit

17 considerabit eum sacerdos et mundum esse decernet

18 caro et cutis in qua ulcus natum est et sanatum

19 et in loco ulceris cicatrix apparuerit alba sive subrufa adducetur homo ad sacerdotem

20 qui cum viderit locum leprae humiliorem carne reliqua et pilos versos in candorem contaminabit eum plaga enim leprae orta est in ulcere

21 quod si pilus coloris est pristini et cicatrix subobscura et vicina carne non est humilior recludet eum septem diebus
