¹The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, ²“If anyone has a sore, a rash, or an irritated area on his skin that turns into an infectious skin disease, he must be taken to the priest Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests. ³The priest will examine the disease. If the hair in the diseased area has turned white, and the diseased area looks deeper than the rest of his skin, it is an infectious skin disease. When the priest has examined him, he must declare him unclean. ⁴But if the irritated area is white and does not look deeper than the rest of the skin, and the hair has not turned white, the priest must put him in isolation for seven days. ⁵On the seventh day the priest will examine him again. If the disease looks the same and has not spread, the priest must put him in isolation for another seven days. ⁶On the seventh day the priest will examine him again. If the diseased area has faded and not spread, the priest must declare him clean. It is only a rash. The person must wash his clothes and will be clean. ⁷But if the rash has spread after he has shown himself to the priest to be declared clean, he must show himself to the priest again. ⁸The priest will examine him one more time, and if the rash has spread, the priest must declare him unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.

⁹“If anyone has an infectious skin disease, he must be taken to the priest. ¹⁰The priest will examine him. If there is a white sore that has turned the hair white, and if there is raw flesh in the sore, ¹¹he has a chronic skin disease. Without putting him in isolation, the priest must declare him unclean because he is unclean. ¹²If skin disease develops and covers the whole person from head to foot (so far as the priest can see), ¹³the priest will examine him. If the disease does cover his whole body, the priest must declare the diseased person clean. His body has turned white. The person is clean. ¹⁴But if raw flesh appears, he will be unclean.
