34“Then on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scale, and if the scale has not spread in the skin and it appears to be no deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

35“But if the scale spreads farther in the skin after his cleansing,

36then the priest shall look at him, and if the scale has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellowish hair; he is unclean.

37“If in his sight the scale has remained, however, and black hair has grown in it, the scale has healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38“When a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of the 1body, even white bright spots,

39then the priest shall look, and if the bright spots on the skin of their 1bodies are a faint white, it is 2eczema that has broken out on the skin; he is clean.

40“Now if a 1man loses the hair of his head, he is abald; he is clean.

41“If his head becomes bald at the 1front and sides, he is bald on the forehead; he is clean.

42“But if on the bald head or the bald forehead, there occurs a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or on his bald forehead.

43“Then athe priest shall look at him; and if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the 1body,

44he is a leprous man, he is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his infection is on his head.

45“As for the leper who has the infection, his clothes shall be torn, and athe hair of his head shall be 1uncovered, and he shall bcover his mustache and cry, ‘cUnclean! Unclean!’

46“He shall remain unclean all the days during which he has the infection; he is unclean. He shall live alone; his dwelling shall be aoutside the camp.

47“When a garment has a 1mark of leprosy in it, whether it is a wool garment or a linen garment,

48whether in 1warp or woof, of linen or of wool, whether in leather or in any article made of leather,

49if the mark is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, or in the 1warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, it is a leprous mark and shall be shown to the priest.

50“Then athe priest shall look at the mark and shall 1quarantine the article with the mark for seven days.

51“He shall then look at the mark on the seventh day; if the mark has spread in the garment, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in the leather, whatever the purpose for which the leather is used, the mark is a 1leprous malignancy, it is unclean.

52“So he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any article of leather in which the mark occurs, for it is a 1leprous malignancy; it shall be burned in the fire.

53“But if the priest shall look, and indeed the mark has not spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather,
