13Then^a Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, ²“When a person^b has on his body’s skin a swelling or an epidermal eruption or a spot and it becomes^c an infectious skin disease on his body’s skin, then^d he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. ³And the priest shall examine the infection on his body’s skin, and if the hair in the infection turns white and the appearance of the infection is deeper than his body’s skin, it is an infectious skin disease, and the priest shall examine it, and he shall declare him unclean. ⁴But^e if a spot is white on his body’s skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin and its hair does not turn white, then^f the priest shall confine the afflicted person for seven days. ⁵And the priest shall examine it on the seventh day, and if,^g in his eyes, the infection has stayed unchanged, the infection has not spread on the skin, then^h the priest shall confine him for seven days a second time. ⁶And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day for a second time, and ifⁱ the infection has faded and the infection has not spread on the skin, then^j the priest shall declare him clean—it is an epidermal eruption; and he shall wash his garments, and so he shall be clean. ⁷But^k if the epidermal eruption spreads further on the skin after showing himself to the priest for his cleansing, then^l he shall appear a second time to the priest. ⁸And the priest shall examine it,^m and ifⁿ the epidermal eruption has spread on the skin, then^o the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease.

⁹“When an infectious skin disease is on a person and he is brought to the priest, ¹⁰the priest shall examine it,^p and if^q a white swelling is on the skin and it turns the hair white and raw flesh^r is in the swelling, ¹¹it is a chronic infectious skin disease on his body’s skin, and the priest shall declare him unclean; he shall not confine him, because he is unclean. ¹²And if the infectious skin disease breaks out all over on the skin and the infectious skin disease covers all of the afflicted person’s skin from his head to his feet, so far as the priest can see,^s ¹³then^t the priest shall examine it,^u and if^v the infectious skin disease covers his whole body, then^w he shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—all of it has turned white; he is clean. ¹⁴But^x whenever^y raw flesh^z appears on him, he shall become unclean.
