Deuteronomy דברים (DaBaR’eyM) 24:

[8] Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. [9] Remember what יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt

8השמר בנגע הצרעת לשמר מאד ולעשות ככל אשר יורו אתכם הכהנים הלוים כאשר צויתם תשמרו לעשות׃

9זכור את אשר עשה יהוה אלהיך למרים בדרך בצאתכם ממצרים׃

TESTING:

WHITE SKIN WITH NORMAL HAIR

Leviticus ויקרא (u’Ye-QuRA) 13:

[1] And יהוה (Yahuah) spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,

[2] When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or a bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:

[3] And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

[4] If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:

[5] And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:

1וידבר יהוה אל משה ואל אהרן לאמר׃

2אדם כי יהיה בעור בשרו שאת או ספחת או בהרת והיה בעור בשרו לנגע צרעת והובא אל אהרן הכהן או אל אחד מבניו הכהנים׃

3וראה הכהן את הנגע בעור הבשר ושער בנגע הפך לבן ומראה הנגע עמק מעור בשרו נגע צרעת הוא וראהו הכהן וטמא אתו׃

4ואם בהרת לבנה הוא בעור בשרו ועמק אין מראה מן העור ושערה לא הפך לבן והסגיר הכהן את הנגע שבעת ימים׃

5וראהו הכהן ביום השביעי והנה הנגע עמד בעיניו לא פשה הנגע בעור והסגירו הכהן שבעת ימים שנית׃

CLEAN

[6] And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

6וראה הכהן אתו ביום השביעי שנית והנה כהה הנגע ולא פשה הנגע בעור וטהרו הכהן מספחת היא וכבס בגדיו וטהר׃

UNCLEAN

[7] But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:

[8] And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

7ואם פשה תפשה המספחת בעור אחרי הראתו אל הכהן לטהרתו ונראה שנית אל הכהן׃

8וראה הכהן והנה פשתה המספחת בעור וטמאו הכהן צרעת הוא׃

TESTING:

WHITE SKIN WITH WHITE HAIR

[9] When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;

[10] And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;

[11] It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.

[12] And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;

9נגע צרעת כי תהיה באדם והובא אל הכהן׃

10וראה הכהן והנה שאת לבנה בעור והיא הפכה שער לבן ומחית בשר חי בשאת׃

11צרעת נושנת הוא בעור בשרו וטמאו הכהן לא יסגרנו כי טמא הוא׃

12ואם פרוח תפרח הצרעת בעור וכסתה הצרעת את כל עור הנגע מראשו ועד רגליו לכל מראה עיני הכהן׃

CLEAN

[13] Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.

13וראה הכהן והנה כסתה הצרעת את כל בשרו וטהר את הנגע כלו הפך לבן טהור הוא׃

UNCLEAN

[14] But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.

[15] And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.

14וביום הראות בו בשר חי יטמא׃

15וראה הכהן את הבשר החי וטמאו הבשר החי טמא הוא צרעת הוא׃

[16] Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;

[17] And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.

[18] The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,

[19] And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;

16או כי ישוב הבשר החי ונהפך ללבן ובא אל הכהן׃

17וראהו הכהן והנה נהפך הנגע ללבן וטהר הכהן את הנגע טהור הוא׃

18ובשר כי יהיה בו בערו שחין ונרפא׃

19והיה במקום השחין שאת לבנה או בהרת לבנה אדמדמת ונראה אל הכהן׃

UNCLEAN

[20] And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

[21] But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

[22] And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.

20וראה הכהן והנה מראה שפל מן העור ושערה הפך לבן וטמאו הכהן נגע צרעת היא בשחין פרחה׃

21ואם יראנה הכהן והנה אין בה שער לבן ושפלה איננה מן העור והיא כהה והסגירו הכהן שבעת ימים׃

22ואם פשה תפשה בעור וטמא הכהן אתו נגע הוא׃

CLEAN

[23] But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

23ואם תחתיה תעמד הבהרת לא פשתה צרבת השחין הוא וטהרו הכהן׃

UNCLEAN

[24] Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;

[25] Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

24או בשר כי יהיה בערו מכות אש והיתה מחית המכוה בהרת לבנה אדמדמת או לבנה׃

25וראה אתה הכהן והנה נהפך שער לבן בבהרת ומראה עמק מן העור צרעת הוא במכוה פרחה וטמא אתו הכהן נגע צרעת הוא׃

CLEAN

[26] But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

[27] And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

[28] And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.

26ואם יראנה הכהן והנה אין בבהרת שער לבן ושפלה איננה מן העור והוא כהה והסגירו הכהן שבעת ימים׃

27וראהו הכהן ביום השביעי אם פשה תפשה בעור וטמא הכהן אתו נגע צרעת הוא׃

28ואם תחתיה תעמד הבהרת לא פשתה בעור והוא כהה שאת המכוה הוא וטהרו הכהן כי צרבת המכוה הוא׃

Leprosy of the Head or Beard

[29] If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;

[30] Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.

[31] And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:

[32] And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;

[33] He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:

CLEAN

[34] And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

UNCLEAN

[35] But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;

[36] Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.

CLEAN

[37] But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

[38] If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

[39] Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.

BALD HEADS & LEPROSY

CLEAN

[40] And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

[41] And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.

UNCLEAN UNCLEAN

[42] And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

[43] Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;

[44] He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

[45] And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

[46] All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

GARMENTS & LEPROSY

[47] The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;

[48] Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;

[49] And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:

[50] And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:

UNCLEAN

[51] And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.

[52] He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

[53] And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;

[54] Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:

[55] And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.

[56] And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:

[57] And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.

CLEAN

[58] And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.

[59] This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

HOUSE & LEPROSY

Leviticus ויקרא (u’Ye-QuRA) 14:

[33] And יהוה (Yahuah) spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

[34] When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

[35] And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

[36] Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

[37] And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

[38] Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

[39] And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

[40] Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

[41] And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

UNCLEAN

[42] And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.

[43] And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

[44] Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

[45] And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

[46] Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

[47] And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

CLEAN

[48] And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

[54] This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

[55] And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

[56] And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:

[57] To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.

Leviticus ויקרא (u’Ye-QuRA) 22:

[4] What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

[5] Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
