Leviticus 14:1-32
The Lord spoke to Moses:“ This is the law concerning the person afflicted with a skin disease on the day of his cleansing. He is to be brought to the priest,who will go outside the camp and examine him. If the skin disease has disappeared from the afflicted person,the priest will order that two live clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be brought for the one who is to be cleansed.Then the priest will order that one of the birds be slaughtered over fresh water in a clay pot.He is to take the live bird together with the cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop, and dip them all into the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water.He will then sprinkle the blood seven times on the one who is to be cleansed from the skin disease. He is to pronounce him clean and release the live bird over the open countryside.The one who is to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe with water; he is clean. Afterward he may enter the camp, but he must remain outside his tent for seven days.He is to shave off all his hair again on the seventh day: his head, his beard, his eyebrows, and the rest of his hair. He is to wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; he is clean.“ On the eighth day he must take two unblemished male lambs, an unblemished year-old ewe lamb, a grain offering of three quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil, and one-third of a quart of olive oil.The priest who performs the cleansing will place the person who is to be cleansed, together with these offerings, before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.The priest is to take one male lamb and present it as a restitution offering, along with the one-third quart of olive oil, and he must wave them as a presentation offering before the Lord.He is to slaughter the male lamb at the place in the sanctuary area where the sin offering and burnt offering are slaughtered, for like the sin offering, the restitution offering belongs to the priest; it is especially holy.The priest is to take some of the blood from the restitution offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.Then the priest will take some of the one-third quart of olive oil and pour it into his left palm.The priest will dip his right finger into the oil in his left palm and sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord.From the oil remaining in his palm the priest will put some on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on top of the blood of the restitution offering.What is left of the oil in the priest’s palm he is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed. In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the Lord.The priest must sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he will slaughter the burnt offering.The priest is to offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. The priest will make atonement for him, and he will be clean.“ But if he is poor and cannot afford these, he is to take one male lamb for a restitution offering to be waved in order to make atonement for him, along with two quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, one-third of a quart of olive oil,and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whatever he can afford, one to be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.On the eighth day he is to bring these things for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord.The priest will take the male lamb for the restitution offering and the one-third quart of olive oil, and wave them as a presentation offering before the Lord.After he slaughters the male lamb for the restitution offering, the priest is to take some of the blood of the restitution offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.Then the priest will pour some of the oil into his left palm.With his right finger the priest will sprinkle some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the Lord.The priest will also put some of the oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the same place as the blood of the restitution offering.What is left of the oil in the priest’s palm he is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed to make atonement for him before the Lord.He must then sacrifice one type of what he can afford, either the turtledoves or young pigeons,one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, sacrificing what he can afford together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord for the one to be cleansed.This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing.”

Leviticus 13:1-46
The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:“ When a person has a swelling, scab, or spot on the skin of his body, and it becomes a disease on the skin of his body, he is to be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.The priest will examine the infection on the skin of his body. If the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.But if the spot on the skin of his body is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest must quarantine the infected person for seven days.The priest will then reexamine him on the seventh day. If he sees that the infection remains unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must quarantine him for another seven days.The priest will examine him again on the seventh day. If the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean; it is a scab. The person is to wash his clothes and will become clean.But if the scab spreads further on his skin after he has presented himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.The priest will examine him, and if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.“ When a skin disease develops on a person, he is to be brought to the priest.The priest will examine him. If there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is a patch of raw flesh in the swelling,it is a chronic disease on the skin of his body, and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not quarantine him, for he is unclean.But if the skin disease breaks out all over the skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from his head to his feet so far as the priest can see,the priest will look, and if the skin disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since he has turned totally white, he is clean.But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he will be unclean.When the priest examines the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. Raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.The priest will examine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest must pronounce the infected person clean; he is clean.“ When a boil appears on the skin of one’s body and it heals,and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, the person must present himself to the priest.The priest will make an examination, and if the spot seems to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease that has broken out in the boil.But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin but is faded, the priest must quarantine him seven days.If it spreads further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.But if the spot remains where it is and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil. The priest is to pronounce him clean.“ When there is a burn on the skin of one’s body produced by fire, and the patch made raw by the burn becomes reddish-white or white,the priest is to examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in the spot and it is not beneath the skin but is faded, the priest must quarantine him seven days.The priest will reexamine him on the seventh day. If it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.But if the spot has remained where it was and has not spread on the skin but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn. The priest is to pronounce him clean, for it is only the scar from the burn.“ When a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,the priest must examine the infection. If it appears to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and sparse, the priest must pronounce the person unclean. It is a scaly outbreak, a skin disease of the head or chin.When the priest examines the scaly infection, if it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest must quarantine the person with the scaly infection for seven days.The priest will reexamine the infection on the seventh day. If the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,the person must shave himself but not shave the scaly area. Then the priest must quarantine the person who has the scaly outbreak for another seven days.The priest will examine the scaly outbreak on the seventh day, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce the person clean. He is to wash his clothes, and he will be clean.But if the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,the priest is to examine the person. If the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.But if as far as he can see, the scaly outbreak remains unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed; he is clean. The priest is to pronounce the person clean.“ When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin of the body,the priest is to make an examination. If the spots on the skin of the body are dull white, it is only a rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.“ If a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald, but he is clean.Or if he loses the hair at his hairline, he is bald on his forehead, but he is clean.But if there is a reddish-white infection on the bald head or forehead, it is a skin disease breaking out on his head or forehead.The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white, like the appearance of a skin disease on his body,the man is afflicted with a skin disease; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean; the infection is on his head.“ The person afflicted with an infectious skin disease is to have his clothes torn and his hair hanging loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out,‘ Unclean, unclean!’He will remain unclean as long as he has the infection; he is unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
