1. The Lord told Moses and Aaron to say to the people:
2. If sores or boils or a skin rash should break out and start spreading on your body, you must be brought to Aaron or to one of the other priests.
3. If the priest discovers that the hair in the infected area has turned white and that the infection seems more than skin deep, he will say, “This is leprosy—you are unclean.”
4. But if the infected area is white and only skin deep, and if the hair in it hasn't turned white, the priest will order you to stay away from everyone else for seven days.
5. If the disease hasn't spread by that time, he will order you to stay away from everyone else for another seven days.
12-13. But if the disease has run its course and only the scars remain, he will say, “You are clean.”
14-15. If the sores come back and turn white with pus, he will say, “This is leprosy—you are unclean.”
16-17. However, if the sores heal and only white spots remain, the priest will say, “You are now clean.”
18-19. If you have a sore that either swells or turns reddish-white after it has healed, then you must show it to a priest.
35-36. Later, if the itch starts spreading, even though the hair is still healthy, the priest will say, “You are unclean.”
40-41. If you become bald on any part of your head, you are still clean.
42-43. But if a priest discovers that a reddish-white sore has broken out on the bald spot and looks like leprosy, he will say,
47-50. If a greenish or reddish spot appears anywhere on any of your clothing or on anything made of leather, you must let the priest examine the clothing or the leather. He will put it aside for seven days,
