Leviticus 13 — Context

8

And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper.

9

When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;

10

And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,

11

It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.

12

And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

13

And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

14

But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.
