Leviticus 13:34–53

³⁴The priest will examine the scaly outbreak on the seventh day, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce the person clean. He is to wash his clothes, and he will be clean. ³⁵But if the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing, ³⁶the priest is to examine the person. If the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair; the person is unclean. ³⁷But if as far as he can see, the scaly outbreak remains unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed; he is clean. The priest is to pronounce the person clean.

³⁸“When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin of the body, ³⁹the priest is to make an examination. If the spots on the skin of the body are dull white, it is only a rash ^ythat has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

⁴⁰“If a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald, ^zbut he is clean. ⁴¹Or if he loses the hair at his hairline, he is bald on his forehead, but he is clean. ⁴²But if there is a reddish-white infection on the bald head or forehead, it is a skin disease breaking out on his head or forehead. ^a43The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white, like the appearance of a skin disease on his body, ⁴⁴the man is afflicted with a skin disease; ^bhe is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean; the infection is on his head.

⁴⁵“The person afflicted with an infectious skin disease is to have his clothes torn ^cand his hair hanging loose, and he must cover his mouth ^dand cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ ⁴⁶He will remain unclean as long as he has the infection; he is unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp. ^e

Contaminated Fabrics

⁴⁷“If a fabric is contaminated with mildew—in wool or linen fabric, ⁴⁸in the warp or woof of linen or wool, or in leather or anything made of leather— ⁴⁹and if the contamination is green or red in the fabric, the leather, the warp, the woof, or any leather article, it is a mildew contamination and is to be shown to the priest. ⁵⁰The priest is to examine the contamination and quarantine the contaminated fabric for seven days. ⁵¹The priest is to reexamine the contamination on the seventh day. If it has spread in the fabric, the warp, the woof, or the leather, regardless of how it is used, the contamination is harmful mildew; it is unclean. ^f52He is to burn the fabric, the warp or woof in wool or linen, or any leather article, which is contaminated. Since it is harmful mildew it must be burned up.

⁵³“When the priest examines it, if the contamination has not spread in the fabric, the warp or woof, or any leather article,
