Leviticus 13Skin Disease, Varieties and Symptoms

1The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 or an eruption or a spot and it turns into a defiling disease on the skin of his body, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests.

3The priest shall examine the disease 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 defiling disease; after the priest has examined him he shall pronounce him unclean.

4 in the skin that has turned the hair white and there is a patch of raw flesh in the swelling,

11it is a chronic defiling disease in the skin of his body. The priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not confine him, for he is unclean.

12But if the defiling disease breaks out in the skin so that it covers all the skin of the diseased person from head to foot, so far as the priest can see,

13then the priest shall make an examination, and if the defiling disease has covered all his body, he shall pronounce him clean of the disease; since it has all turned white, he is clean.

14But if raw flesh ever appears on him, he shall be unclean;

15 or a reddish-white spot, it shall be shown to the priest.

20The priest shall make an examination, and if it appears deeper than the skin and its hair has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; this is a defiling disease, broken out in the boil.

21 from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar of the burn.

29 is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, which resembles a defiling disease in the skin of the body,

44 spot is on the inside or on the outside.

56 Lev 14.8 “If the priest makes an examination, and the disease has abated after it is washed, he shall tear the spot out of the cloth, in warp or woof, or out of skin.

57If it appears again in the garment, in warp or woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading; you shall burn with fire that in which the disease appears.

58But the cloth, warp or woof, or anything of skin from which the disease disappears when you have washed it shall then be washed a second time, and it shall be clean.

59“This is the rule for a defiling disease in a cloth of wool or linen, either in warp or woof, or in anything of skin, to decide whether it is clean or unclean.”
