2When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
2“When someone has a swelling, a rash, or a bright spot on their skin that might be a serious skin disease, they must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who are priests.
3and the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and if the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
3The priest will examine the affected area on the skin. If the hair in that area has turned white and the sore looks deeper than the rest of the skin, it is a serious skin disease. After examining the person, the priest must declare them ceremonially unclean.
4And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
4If the bright spot on the skin is white but does not look deeper than the skin and the hair has not turned white, the priest will isolate the person for seven days.
5and the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if in his eyes the plague be at a stay, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
5On the seventh day, the priest will examine the person again. If the sore looks the same and has not spread on the skin, the priest will isolate the person for another seven days.
6and the priest shall look on him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be dim, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
6On the seventh day, the priest will examine them again. If the sore has faded and hasn't spread on the skin, the priest shall declare them clean; it was just a rash. The person must wash their clothes, and they will be clean.
7But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath showed himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again:
7But if the rash spreads further on the skin after the priest has examined them for their cleansing, they must show themselves to the priest again.
8and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.
8The priest will examine it, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must declare them unclean; it is a serious skin disease.
9When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
9When anyone has a serious skin disease, they must be brought to the priest.
10and the priest shall look; and, behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising,
10The priest will examine them. If there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: he shall not shut him up; for he is unclean.
11it is a chronic skin disease. The priest must declare the person unclean. He does not need to isolate them, because they are already clearly unclean.
12And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appeareth to the priest;
12If the disease breaks out all over the skin and covers the person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see,
13then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
13the priest will examine them. If the disease has covered their entire body, he shall declare them clean. Since it has all turned white, the person is clean.
14But whensoever raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
14But whenever raw flesh appears on them, they will be unclean.
15And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean: it is leprosy.
15The priest will examine the raw flesh and declare the person unclean. Raw flesh is unclean; it is a serious skin disease.
16Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, then he shall come unto the priest;
16If the raw flesh changes and turns white again, the person must go back to the priest.
17and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
17The priest will examine them, and if the sores have turned white, the priest shall declare the person clean; they are clean.
18And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and it is healed,
18When a person has a boil on their skin and it heals,
19and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be showed to the priest;
19but a white swelling or a reddish-white bright spot appears in the place where the boil was, the person must show it to the priest.
20and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy, it hath broken out in the boil.
20The priest will examine it. If it looks deeper than the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall declare them unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has broken out in the boil.
21But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
21But if the priest examines it and finds no white hair in it and it is not deeper than the skin but has faded, the priest will isolate the person for seven days.
22and if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
22If it spreads further on the skin, the priest shall declare them unclean; it is a disease.
23But if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
23But if the bright spot stays in its place and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall declare them clean.
24Or when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by fire, and the quick flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white;
24When someone has a burn on their skin and the raw flesh of the burn turns into a reddish-white or white bright spot,
25then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin; it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning: and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
25the priest will examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and it looks deeper than the skin, it is a serious skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest shall declare them unclean; it is a serious skin disease.
26But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
26But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot and it is not deeper than the skin but has faded, the priest will isolate the person for seven days.
27and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
27On the seventh day, the priest will examine them. If it has spread on the skin, the priest shall declare them unclean; it is a serious skin disease.
28And if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread in the skin, but be dim; it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is the scar of the burning.
28If the bright spot stays in its place and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn. The priest shall declare them clean, because it is only the scar from the burn.
29And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the beard,
29If a man or woman has a sore on the head or on the chin,
30then the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
30the priest will examine the sore. If it looks deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest shall declare them unclean. It is an itch—a serious skin disease of the head or chin.
31And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
31But if the priest examines the itchy sore and it does not look deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, the priest will isolate the person for seven days.
32and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin,
32On the seventh day, the priest will examine the sore. If the itch has not spread, there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not look deeper than the skin,
33then he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
33the person must shave, but they must not shave the itchy area. The priest will isolate them for another seven days.
34and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall; and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
34On the seventh day, the priest will examine the itch again. If the itch has not spread on the skin and does not look deeper than the skin, the priest shall declare them clean. The person must wash their clothes and they will be clean.
35But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing,
35But if the itch spreads further on the skin after they have been declared clean,
36then the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
36the priest will examine them. If the itch has spread on the skin, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.
37But if in his eyes the scall be at a stay, and black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
37If, however, the itch looks the same and black hair has grown in it, the itch is healed. The person is clean, and the priest shall declare them clean.
38And when a man or a woman hath in the skin of the flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
38When a man or woman has bright spots on their skin—white bright spots—
39then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of a dull white, it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin; he is clean.
39the priest will examine them. If the spots on the skin are a dull white, it is only a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.
40And if a man’s hair be fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
40If a man loses his hair and becomes bald on the back of his head, he is simply bald and is clean.
41And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald; yet is he clean.
41If he loses hair from his forehead, he is bald on the forehead and is clean.
42But if there be in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
42But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is a serious skin disease breaking out there.
43Then the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague be reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh;
43The priest will examine him. If the swelling of the sore on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white, looking like a serious skin disease on the body,
44he is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his plague is in his head.
44the man has a skin disease and is unclean. The priest must declare him unclean because of the sore on his head.
45And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
45Anyone with such a serious skin disease must wear torn clothes and let their hair hang loose. They must cover the lower part of their face and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
46All the days wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his dwelling be.
46As long as they have the disease, they remain unclean. They must live alone; their home must be outside the camp.
47The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
47If a mark of mildew is on a piece of clothing, whether it is made of wool or linen,
48whether it be in warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin;
48whether it is in the woven or knitted fabric of linen or wool, or in a piece of leather or anything made of leather,
49if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be showed unto the priest.
49if the mark is greenish or reddish in the clothing, the leather, the woven fabric, or any leather article, it is a spreading mildew and must be shown to the priest.
50And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up that which hath the plague seven days:
50The priest will examine the mark and isolate the article for seven days.
51and he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever service skin is used for; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
51On the seventh day, he will examine the mark. If it has spread in the clothing, the woven fabric, or the leather, whatever its use, the mark is a destructive mildew; it is unclean.
52And he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in woollen or in linen, or anything of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
52He must burn the clothing, the woven fabric of wool or linen, or any leather article that has the mark, because it is a destructive mildew; the article must be burned.
53And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
53But if the priest examines it and the mark has not spread in the clothing or the woven fabric or the leather article,
54then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
54he shall order that the contaminated article be washed. Then he will isolate it for another seven days.
55and the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague have not changed its color, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire: it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without.
55The priest will examine the article after it has been washed. If the mark has not changed color, even if it hasn't spread, it is unclean. You must burn it, whether the rot is on the inside or the outside.
56And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after the washing thereof, then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
56If the priest examines it and the mark has faded after being washed, he shall tear the contaminated part out of the clothing, the leather, or the woven fabric.
57and if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is breaking out: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
57But if it shows up again in the clothing, the woven fabric, or the leather article, it is spreading. You must burn whatever has the mark.
58And the garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
58If the mark disappears from the clothing, the woven fabric, or the leather article after it has been washed, it must be washed a second time, and then it will be clean.
59This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
59These are the instructions for deciding if a mark in clothing of wool or linen, in woven fabric, or in any leather article is clean or unclean.”]}
