1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising or a scab, or bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh a sore {as} of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests.3 And when the priest looketh on the sore in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the sore is turned white, and the sore looketh deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the sore of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him and pronounce him unclean.4 But if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and look not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, the priest shall shut up {him that hath} the sore seven days.5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day; and behold, in his sight, the sore remaineth as it was, the sore hath not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days a second time.6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day, and behold, the sore is become pale and the sore hath not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a scab; and he shall wash his garments and be clean.7 But if the scab have spread much in the skin, after that he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again;8 and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the scab hath spread in the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.9 When a sore {as} of leprosy is in a man, he shall be brought unto the priest;10 and the priest shall look on him, and behold, there is a white rising in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and a trace of raw flesh is in the rising:11 it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and he shall not shut him up, for he is unclean.12 But if the leprosy break out much in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of {him that hath} the sore, from his head even to his foot, wherever the eyes of the priest look,13 and the priest looketh, and behold, the leprosy covereth all his flesh, he shall pronounce {him} clean {that hath} the sore; it is all turned white; he is clean.14 And on the day when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.15 And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and shall pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy.16 But if the raw flesh change again, and be turned white, he shall come unto the priest;17 and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the sore is turned white; then the priest shall pronounce {him} clean {that hath} the sore: he is clean.18 And the flesh-when in the skin thereof cometh a boil, and it is healed,19 and there is in the place of the boil a white rising, or a white-reddish bright spot, it shall be shewn to the priest;20 and the priest shall look on it, and behold, it looketh deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof is turned white; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy broken out in the boil.21 But if the priest look on it, and behold, there are no white hairs therein, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is pale, the priest shall shut him up seven days;22 and if it spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore.23 But if the bright spot have remained in its place, {and} have not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.24 Or if in the flesh, in the skin thereof, there is a burning inflammation, and the place of the inflammation become a bright spot white-reddish or white,25 and the priest look on it, and behold, the hair is turned white in the bright spot, and it looketh deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy which is broken out in the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy.26 But if the priest look on it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no deeper than the skin, and is pale, the priest shall shut him up seven days.27 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day, and if it have spread much in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy.28 But if the bright spot have remained in its place, {and} not spread in the skin, and is pale, it is the rising of the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the inflammation.29 And if a man or a woman have a sore on the head or on the beard,30 and the priest look on the sore, and behold, it looketh deeper than the skin, and there is in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scall, the leprosy of the head or the beard.31 And if the priest look on the sore of the scall, and behold, it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall shut up {him that hath} the sore of the scall seven days.32 And when the priest looketh on the sore on the seventh day, and behold, the scall hath not spread, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the scall doth not look deeper than the skin,33 he {that hath the sore} shall shave himself; but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up {him that hath} the scall seven days a second time.34 And the priest shall look on the scall on the seventh day, and behold, the scall hath not spread in the skin, nor is in sight deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and be clean.35 But if the scall have spread much in the skin after his cleansing,36 and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair: he is unclean.37 But if the scall have in his sight remained as it was, and there is black hair grown up therein, the scall is healed: he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.38 And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots,39 and the priest look, and behold, there are in the skin of their flesh pale white spots, it is an eruption which is broken out in the skin: he is clean.40 And if a man's hair have fallen off his head, he is bald: he is clean;41 and if he have the hair fallen off from the part of the head towards his face, he is forehead-bald: he is clean.42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white-reddish sore, it is a leprosy which hath broken out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.43 And the priest shall look on it, and behold, the rising of the sore is white-reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy in the skin of the flesh;44 he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his sore is in his head.45 And as to the leper in whom the sore is, -his garments shall be rent, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall put a covering on his beard, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean!46 All the days that the sore shall be in him he shall be unclean: he is unclean; he shall dwell apart; outside the camp shall his dwelling be.47 And if a sore of leprosy is in a garment, in a woollen garment, or a linen garment,48 either in the warp or in the woof of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in anything made of skin,49 and the sore is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is the sore of leprosy, and shall be shewn unto the priest.50 And the priest shall look on the sore, and shall shut up {that which hath} the sore seven days.51 And he shall see the sore on the seventh day: if the sore have spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in a skin, in any work that may be made of skin, the sore is a corroding leprosy: it is unclean.52 And they shall burn the garment, or the warp or the woof, of wool or of linen, or anything of skin, wherein the sore is; for it is a corroding leprosy: it shall be burned with fire.53 But if the priest look, and behold, the sore hath not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin,54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the sore is, and he shall shut it up seven days a second time.55 And the priest shall look on the sore after the washing, and behold, if the sore have not changed its appearance, and the sore have not spread, it is unclean: thou shalt burn it with fire: it is a fretting sore on what is threadbare or where the nap is gone.56 But if the priest look, and behold, the sore hath become pale after the washing of it, then he shall rend it from the garment, or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof.57 And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a {leprosy} breaking out: thou shalt burn with fire that wherein the sore is.58 But the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin which thou hast washed, and the sore departeth from them, it shall be washed a second time, and it is clean.59 This is the law of the sore of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, to cleanse it, or to pronounce it unclean.

1 Verder het die HERE met Moses en A„ron gespreek en gesê:2 As 'n mens in die vel van sy vlees 'n swelsel of uitslag of ligte vlek het, en dit in die vel van sy vlees 'n plaag van melaatsheid word, moet hy na die priester A„ron of na een van sy seuns, die priesters, gebring word;3 en die priester moet na die aangetaste plek in die vel van die vlees kyk. Het die hare op die plek wit geword, en lyk dit of die plek dieper is as die vel van sy vlees, dan is dit die plaag van melaatsheid. As die priester dit sien, moet hy hom onrein verklaar.4 Maar as dit 'n wit vlek in die vel van sy vlees is en dit nie dieper lyk as die vel nie, en die hare daarvan nie wit geword het nie, moet die priester die aangetaste persoon sewe dae lank opsluit.5 As die priester hom op die sewende dag bekyk en sien dat die aangetaste plek, volgens hy kan sien, dieselfde gebly het, die plek nie in die vel versprei het nie, dan moet die priester hom nog 'n keer sewe dae lank opsluit.6 Bekyk die priester hom dan op die sewende dag nog 'n keer en sien hy dat die aangetaste plek dof van kleur geword en die plek in die vel nie versprei het nie, dan moet die priester hom rein verklaar. Dit is 'n uitslag; en hy moet sy klere was, dan is hy rein.7 Maar as die uitslag werklik in die vel versprei nadat hy hom aan die priester vertoon het om rein te word, moet hy hom nog 'n keer aan die priester vertoon.8 En sien die priester dat die uitslag in die vel versprei het, dan moet die priester hom onrein verklaar. Dit is melaatsheid.9 As die plaag van melaatsheid aan 'n mens is, moet hy na die priester gebring word.10 En as die priester sien dat daar 'n wit swelsel in die vel is wat die hare wit gemaak het, terwyl daar wilde vlees in die swelsel groei,11 dan is dit 'n verouderde melaatsheid in die vel van sy vlees, en die priester moet hom onrein verklaar. Hy moet hom nie opsluit nie, want hy is onrein.12 Maar as die melaatsheid so geweldig in die vel uitbreek, dat die melaatsheid die hele vel van die aangetaste persoon van sy hoof tot sy voete oordek, so ver as wat die oë van die priester kan sien;13 en sien die priester dat die melaatsheid sy hele vlees oordek het, dan moet hy die aangetaste persoon rein verklaar: hy het heeltemal wit geword, hy is rein.14 Maar so gou as wilde vlees aan hom gesien word, sal hy onrein wees;15 en as die priester die wilde vlees sien, moet hy hom onrein verklaar. Die wilde vlees is onrein, dit is melaatsheid.16 Maar as die wilde vlees weer weggaan en hy wit word, moet hy na die priester kom.17 As die priester hom dan bekyk en sien dat die aangetaste plek wit geword het, dan moet die priester die aangetaste persoon rein verklaar; hy is rein.18 Maar as daar in die vlees aan hom, naamlik in die vel, 'n sweer is en gesond word,19 maar in die plek van die sweer 'n wit swelsel of 'n rooierige wit vlek kom, moet hy hom aan die priester vertoon.20 As die priester sien dat dit dieper lyk as die vel, en die hare daarvan wit geword het, dan moet die priester hom onrein verklaar; dit is 'n plaag van melaatsheid, dit het in die sweer uitgebreek.21 Maar as die priester dit bekyk, en daar geen wit hare op is nie, en dit nie dieper as die vel is nie en dof van kleur geword het, dan moet die priester hom sewe dae lank opsluit.22 En as dit werklik in die vel versprei, moet die priester hom onrein verklaar; dit is 'n plaag van melaatsheid.23 Maar as die ligte vlek bly waar dit is, nie versprei het nie, is dit die litteken van die sweer, en die priester moet hom rein verklaar.24 Of as in die vlees, in sy vel 'n brandplek van vuur is en die nuwe vlees van die brandplek 'n rooierige wit of wit vlek is;25 en die priester dit bekyk en sien dat die hare op die ligte vlek wit geword het en dit dieper lyk as die vel, dan is dit melaatsheid; in die brandplek het dit uitgebreek. Daarom moet die priester hom onrein verklaar; dit is die plaag van melaatsheid.26 Maar as die priester dit bekyk en sien dat op die ligte vlek geen wit hare is nie, en dit nie dieper as die vel is nie en dof van kleur geword het, dan moet die priester hom sewe dae lank opsluit.27 Dan moet die priester op die sewende dag hom bekyk. As dit werklik in die vel versprei het, moet die priester hom onrein verklaar; dit is die plaag van melaatsheid.28 Maar as die ligte vlek bly waar dit is, nie in die vel versprei het nie en dof van kleur geword het, dan is dit die swelsel van die brandplek. Daarom moet die priester hom rein verklaar, want dit is die litteken van die brandplek.29 Verder, as daar by 'n man of vrou 'n aangetaste plek aan die hoof of in die baard is,30 en die priester die plek bekyk en sien dat dit dieper lyk as die vel, en daar geel dun hare op is, dan moet die priester hom onrein verklaar; dit is skurfte, dit is melaatsheid van die hoof of van die baard.31 Maar as die priester die plaag van skurfte bekyk en sien dat dit nie dieper as die vel lyk nie, en daar geen swart hare op is nie, dan moet die priester die deur skurfte aangetaste persoon sewe dae lank opsluit.32 Bekyk die priester dan op die sewende dag die aangetaste plek en sien hy dat die skurfte nie versprei het nie, en daar geen geel hare op is nie, en die skurfte nie dieper lyk as die vel nie,33 dan moet die persoon hom skeer, maar die skurwe plek moet hy nie skeer nie, en die priester moet die skurwe persoon nog 'n keer sewe dae lank opsluit.34 Bekyk die priester dan die skurfte op die sewende dag en sien hy dat die skurfte nie in die vel versprei het nie en dit nie dieper as die vel lyk nie, dan moet die priester hom rein verklaar. En hy moet sy klere was en sal rein wees.35 Maar as die skurfte werklik in die vel versprei nadat hy rein verklaar is,36 en die priester dit bekyk en sien dat die skurfte in die vel versprei het, dan hoef die priester nie na die geel hare te soek nie; hy is onrein.37 Maar as die skurfte, volgens hy kan sien, dieselfde gebly en swart hare daarop gegroei het, dan is die skurfte gesond. Hy is rein, en die priester moet hom rein verklaar.38 Verder, as 'n man of vrou in die vel van hulle vlees ligte vlekke, wit vlekke het,39 en die priester sien dat daar dowwe wit vlekke in die vel van hulle vlees is, dan is dit gewone uitslag wat in die vel uitgebreek het; hy is rein.40 En as 'n man se hoof kaal word, is hy 'n kaalkop; hy is rein.41 En as sy hoof aan die voorkant kaal word, het hy 'n bles; hy is rein.42 Maar as daar in die kaalte of in die bles 'n rooierige wit plek is, dan is dit melaatsheid wat uitbreek in die kaalte of in die bles.43 As die priester dit bekyk en sien dat die swelsel van die aangetaste plek in die kaalte of in die bles rooierig wit is, wat lyk soos die melaatsheid van die vel van die vlees,44 dan is hy 'n melaatse, hy is onrein; die priester moet hom sekerlik onrein verklaar; op sy hoof het hy die plaag.45 Verder moet in die klere van die melaatse op wie die plaag is, skeure wees, en sy hare moet los hang; ook moet hy sy baard bedek en roep: Onrein, onrein!46 Al die tyd dat die plaag op hom is, sal hy onrein wees. Onrein is hy; alleen moet hy woon; buitekant die laer moet sy woning wees.47 Verder, as daar in 'n kledingstuk die plaag van melaatsheid is, in 'n kledingstuk van wol of linne;48 of in die skeerdraad of die inslag van linne of wol, of in 'n vel of enige leerwerk;49 en die aangetaste plek in die kledingstuk of in die vel of in die skeerdraad of die inslag of in enige leervoorwerp liggroen of rooierig is, dan is dit 'n plaag van melaatsheid, en hulle moet die priester dit laat sien.50 Die priester moet dan die aangetaste plek bekyk en die aangetaste voorwerp sewe dae lank opsluit.51 Dan moet hy op die sewende dag die plek bekyk; as die plaag versprei het in die kledingstuk of in die skeerdraad of die inslag of in die vel, vir watter diens die vel ook al verwerk is, dan is die plaag 'n kwaadaardige melaatsheid; so iets is onrein.52 Daarom moet hy die kledingstuk of die skeerdraad of die inslag van wol of van linne of enige leervoorwerp waarin die aangetaste plek is, verbrand; want dit is 'n kwaadaardige melaatsheid. Dit moet met vuur verbrand word.53 Maar as die priester sien dat die plek in die kledingstuk of in die skeerdraad of die inslag of in enige leervoorwerp nie versprei het nie,54 dan moet die priester beveel dat hulle die voorwerp was waar die plek aan is; en hy moet dit nog 'n keer sewe dae lank opsluit.55 As die priester dan die aangetaste voorwerp bekyk, nadat dit gewas is, en sien dat die plek nog net so lyk, hoewel die plek nie versprei het nie, dan is dit onrein; jy moet dit met vuur verbrand. Dit is 'n invreting aan die agter of aan die voorkant.56 Maar as die priester sien dat die plek, nadat dit gewas is, dof van kleur geword het, dan moet hy dit uit die kledingstuk of uit die vel of uit die skeerdraad of die inslag uitskeur.57 Maar as dit nog in die kledingstuk of in die skeerdraad of die inslag of in enige leervoorwerp gesien word, dan is dit 'n melaatsheid wat weer uitbreek; jy moet die aangetaste voorwerp met vuur verbrand.58 Maar die kledingstuk of die skeerdraad of die inslag of enige leervoorwerp wat jy was as die plek daaruit verdwyn het, moet dit nog 'n keer gewas word, en dit sal rein wees.59 Dit is die wet oor die plaag van melaatsheid in 'n kledingstuk van wol of linne of in die skeerdraad of die inslag of in enige leervoorwerp, om dit rein of onrein te verklaar.
