Leviticus 13:42-43-56 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. If the disease hasn't spread by that time, he will order you to stay away from everyone else for another seven days.

6. Then if the disease hasn't got any worse or spread, the priest will say, “You are clean. It was only a sore. After you wash your clothes, you may go home.”

7. However, if the disease comes back, you must return to the priest.

8. If it is discovered that the disease has started spreading, he will say, “This is leprosy—you are unclean.”

9. Any of you with a skin disease must be brought to a priest.

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,

44. “This is leprosy—you are unclean.”

45. If you ever have leprosy, you must tear your clothes, leave your hair uncombed, cover the lower part of your face, and go around shouting, “I'm unclean! I'm unclean!”

46. As long as you have the disease, you are unclean and must live alone outside the camp.

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,

51. and if the mildew has spread in that time, he will say, “This is unclean

52. because the mildew has spread.” Then he will burn the clothing or the piece of leather.

53. If the priest discovers that the mildew hasn't spread,

54. he will tell you to wash the clothing or leather and put it aside for another seven days,

55. after which he will examine it again. If the spot hasn't spread, but is still greenish or reddish, the clothing or leather is unclean and must be burnt.

56. But if the spot has faded after being washed, he will tear away the spot.
