Leviticus 13 — Context

43

"Then the 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 body,

44

he 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 the hair of his head shall be uncovered, and he shall cover his mustache and cry, 'Unclean! 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 outside the camp.

47

"When a garment has a mark of leprosy in it, whether it is a wool garment or a linen garment,

48

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

49

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