Leviticus 13

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh ve'el-aharon lemor

GOD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

adam ki-yihyeh ve'or-besaro se'et o-sappakhat o vaheret vehayah ve'or-besaro lenega tsara'at vehuva el-aharon hakkohen o el-akhad mibbanayw hakkohanim

When a person has on their skin a swelling, a rash, or a discoloration, and it develops into a scaly affection on their skin, it shall be reported to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.

vera'ah hakkohen et-hannega be'or-habbasar vese'ar bannega hafakh lavan umareh hannega amoq me'or besaro nega tsara'at hu vera'ahu hakkohen vetimme oto

The priest shall examine the affection on the skin: if hair in the affected patch has turned white and the affection appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a leprous affection; when the priest sees it, he shall pronounce the person impure.

ve'im-baheret levanah hiv be'or besaro ve'amoq en-mareha min-ha'or use'arah lo-hafakh lavan vehisgir hakkohen et-hannega shivat yamim

But if it is a white discoloration on the skin that does not appear to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the affected person for seven days.

vera'ahu hakkohen bayyom hashevi'i vehinneh hannega amad be'enayw lo-fasah hannega ba'or vehisgiro hakkohen shivat yamim shenit

On the seventh day the priest shall conduct an examination, and if the affection has remained unchanged in color and the disease has not spread on the skin, the priest shall isolate them for another seven days.

vera'ah hakkohen oto bayyom hashevi'i shenit vehinneh kehah hannega velo-fasah hannega ba'or vetiharo hakkohen mispakhat hiv vekhibbes begadayw vetaher

On the seventh day the priest shall again conduct an examination: if the affection has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce the person pure. It is a rash; that person, after washing their clothes, shall be pure.

ve'im-pasoh tifseh hammispakhat ba'or akhare hera'oto el-hakkohen letohorato venirah shenit el-hakkohen

But if the rash should spread on the skin after they have been seen by the priest and pronounced pure, that person shall again report to the priest.

vera'ah hakkohen vehinneh pasetah hammispakhat ba'or vetimme'o hakkohen tsara'at hiv

And if the priest sees that the rash has spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce them impure; it is leprosy.

nega tsara'at ki tihyeh be'adam vehuva el-hakkohen

When a person has a scaly affection, it shall be reported to the priest.

vera'ah hakkohen vehinneh se'et-levanah ba'or vehi hafekhah se'ar lavan umikhyat basar khay baset

If the priest finds on the skin a white swelling that has turned some hair white, with a patch of undiscolored flesh in the swelling,

tsara'at noshenet hiv be'or besaro vetimme'o hakkohen lo yasgirennu ki tame hu

it is chronic leprosy on the skin, and the priest shall pronounce the person impure; being impure, they need not be isolated.

ve'im-paroakh tifrakh hatsara'at ba'or vekhissetah hatsara'at et kol-or hannega merosho ve'ad-raglayw lekhol-mareh ene hakkohen

If the eruption spreads out over the skin so that it covers all the skin of the affected person from head to foot, wherever the priest can see—

vera'ah hakkohen vehinneh khissetah hatsara'at et-kol-besaro vetihar et-hannaga kullo hafakh lavan tahor hu

if the priest sees that the eruption has covered the whole body—he shall pronounce as pure the affected person, who is pure from having turned all white.

uveyom hera'ot bo basar khay yitma

But as soon as undiscolored flesh appears in it, that person shall be impure;

vera'ah hakkohen et-habbasar hakhay vetimme'o habbasar hakhay tame hu tsara'at hu

when the priest sees the undiscolored flesh, he shall pronounce them impure. The undiscolored flesh is impure; it is leprosy.

o khi yashuv habbasar hakhay venehpakh lelavan uva el-hakkohen

But if the undiscolored flesh again turns white, that person shall come to the priest,

vera'ahu hakkohen vehinneh nehpakh hannega lelavan vetihar hakkohen et-hannega tahor hu

and the priest shall conduct an examination: if the affection has turned white, the priest shall pronounce as pure the affected person, who is then pure.

uvasar ki-yihyeh vo-ve'oro shekhin venirpa

When an inflammation appears on one’s skin and it heals,

vehayah bimqom hashekhin se'et levanah o vaheret levanah adamdamet venirah el-hakkohen

and a white swelling or a white discoloration streaked with red develops where the inflammation was, that person shall report to the priest.

vera'ah hakkohen vehinneh mareha shafal min-ha'or use'arah hafakh lavan vetimme'o hakkohen nega-tsara'at hiv bashekhin parakhah

If the priest finds that it appears lower than the rest of the skin and that the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce them impure; it is a leprous affection that has broken out in the inflammation.

ve'im yirennah hakkohen vehinneh en-bah se'ar lavan ushefalah enennah min-ha'or vehi khehah vehisgiro hakkohen shivat yamim

But if the priest finds that there is no white hair in it and it is not lower than the rest of the skin, and it is faded, the priest shall isolate them for seven days.

ve'im-pasoh tifseh ba'or vetimme hakkohen oto nega hiv

If it should spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them impure; it is an affection.

ve'im-takhteha ta'amod habbaheret lo fasatah tsarevet hashekhin hiv vetiharo hakkohen

But if the discoloration remains stationary, not having spread, it is the scar of the inflammation; the priest shall pronounce them pure.

o vasar ki-yihyeh ve'oro mikhvat-esh vehayetah mikhyat hammikhvah baheret levanah adamdemet o levanah

When one’s skin sustains a burn by fire, and the patch from the burn is a discoloration, either white streaked with red, or white,

vera'ah otah hakkohen vehinneh nehpakh se'ar lavan babbaheret umareha amoq min-ha'or tsara'at hiv bammikhvah parakhah vetimme oto hakkohen nega tsara'at hiv

the priest shall examine it. If some hair has turned white in the discoloration, which itself appears to go deeper than the skin, it is leprosy that has broken out in the burn. The priest shall pronounce the person impure; it is a leprous affection.

ve'im yirennah hakkohen vehinneh en-babbaheret se'ar lavan ushefalah enennah min-ha'or vehiv khehah vehisgiro hakkohen shivat yamim

But if the priest finds that there is no white hair in the discoloration, and that it is not lower than the rest of the skin, and it is faded, the priest shall isolate them for seven days.

vera'ahu hakkohen bayyom hashevi'i im-pasoh tifseh ba'or vetimme hakkohen oto nega tsara'at hiv

On the seventh day the priest shall conduct an examination: if it has spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them impure; it is a leprous affection.

ve'im-takhteha ta'amod habbaheret lo-fasetah va'or vehiv khehah se'et hammikhvah hiv vetiharo hakkohen ki-tsarevet hammikhvah hiv

But if the discoloration has remained stationary, not having spread on the skin, and it is faded, it is the swelling from the burn. The priest shall pronounce them pure, for it is the scar of the burn.

ve'ish o isha ki-yihyeh vo naga berosh o vezaqan

If a man or a woman has an affection on the head or in the beard,

vera'ah hakkohen et-hannega vehinneh marehu amoq min-ha'or uvo se'ar tsahov daq vetimme oto hakkohen neteq hu tsara'at harosh o hazzaqan hu

the priest shall examine the affection. If it appears to go deeper than the skin and there is thin yellow hair in it, the priest shall pronounce them impure; it is a scall, a scaly eruption in the hair or beard.

vekhi-yireh hakkohen et-nega hanneteq vehinneh en-marehu amoq min-ha'or vese'ar shakhor en bo vehisgir hakkohen et-nega hanneteq shivat yamim

But if the priest finds that the scall affection does not appear to go deeper than the skin, yet there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the person with the scall affection for seven days.

vera'ah hakkohen et-hannega bayyom hashevi'i vehinneh lo-fasah hanneteq velo-hayah vo se'ar tsahov umareh hanneteq en amoq min-ha'or

On the seventh day the priest shall examine the affection. If the scall has not spread and no yellow hair has appeared in it, and the scall does not appear to go deeper than the skin,

vehitgallakh ve'et-hanneteq lo yegalleakh vehisgir hakkohen et-hanneteq shivat yamim shenit

the person with the scall shall shave—but without shaving the scall; the priest shall isolate them for another seven days.

vera'ah hakkohen et-hanneteq bayyom hashevi'i vehinneh lo-fasah hanneteq ba'or umarehu enennu amoq min-ha'or vetihar oto hakkohen vekhibbes begadayw vetaher

On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scall. If the scall has not spread on the skin, and does not appear to go deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce the person pure; after washing their clothes, they shall be pure.

ve'im-pasoh yifseh hanneteq ba'or akhare tohorato

If, however, the scall should spread on the skin after the person has been pronounced pure,

vera'ahu hakkohen vehinneh pasah hanneteq ba'or lo-yevaqqer hakkohen lasse'ar hatsahov tame hu

the priest shall conduct an examination. If the scall has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair: the person is impure.

ve'im-be'enayw amad hanneteq vese'ar shakhor tsamakh-bo nirpa hanneteq tahor hu vetiharo hakkohen

But if the scall has remained unchanged in color, and black hair has grown in it, the scall is healed; the person is pure. The priest shall pronounce them pure.

ve'ish o-isha ki-yihyeh ve'or-besaram beharot beharot levanot

If a man or a woman has their skin streaked with white discolorations,

vera'ah hakkohen vehinneh ve'or-besaram beharot kehot levanot bohaq hu parakh ba'or tahor hu

and the priest sees that the discolorations on the skin are of a dull white, it is a tetter broken out on the skin; they are pure.

ve'ish ki yimmaret rosho qereakh hu tahor hu

If a man loses the hair of his head and becomes bald, he is pure.

ve'im mippe'at panayw yimmaret rosho gibbeakh hu tahor hu

If he loses the hair on the front part of his head and becomes bald at the forehead, he is pure.

vekhi-yihyeh vaqqarakhat o vaggabbakhat nega lavan adamdam tsara'at porakhat hiv beqarakhto o vegabbakhto

But if a white affection streaked with red appears on the bald part in the front or at the back of the head, it is a scaly eruption that is spreading over the bald part in the front or at the back of the head.

vera'ah oto hakkohen vehinneh se'et-hannega levanah adamdemet beqarakhto o vegabbakhto kemareh tsara'at or basar

The priest shall examine him: if the swollen affection on the bald part in the front or at the back of his head is white streaked with red, like the leprosy of body skin in appearance,

ish-tsarua hu tame hu tamme yetamme'ennu hakkohen berosho nigo

he is a leprous man; he is impure. The priest shall pronounce him impure; he has the affection on his head.

vehatsarua asher-bo hannega begadayw yihyu ferumim verosho yihyeh farua ve'al-safam yateh vetame tame yiqra

As for the person with a leprous affection: their clothes shall be rent, their head shall be left bare, and their upper lip shall be covered over; and they shall call out, “Impure! Impure!”

kol-yeme asher hannega bo yitma tame hu badad yeshev mikhuts lammakhaneh moshavo

They shall be impure as long as the disease is present. Being impure, they shall dwell apart—in a dwelling outside the camp.

vehabbeged ki-yihyeh vo nega tsara'at beveged tsemer o beveged pishtim

When an eruptive affection occurs in a cloth of wool or linen fabric,

o vishti o ve'erev lappishtim velatsamer o ve'or o bekhol-melekhet or

in the warp or in the woof of the linen or the wool, or in a skin or in anything made of skin;

vehayah hannega yeraqraq o adamdam babbeged o va'or o-vasheti o-va'erev o vekhol-keli-or nega tsara'at hu vehorah et-hakkohen

if the affection in the cloth or the skin, in the warp or the woof, or in any article of skin, is streaky green or red, it is an eruptive affection. It shall be shown to the priest;

vera'ah hakkohen et-hannaga vehisgir et-hannega shivat yamim

and the priest, after examining the affection, shall isolate the affected article for seven days.

vera'ah et-hannega bayyom hashevi'i ki-fasah hannega babbeged o-vasheti o-va'erev o va'or lekhol asher-ye'aseh ha'or limlakhah tsara'at mameret hannega tame hu

On the seventh day he shall examine the affection: if the affection has spread in the cloth—whether in the warp or the woof, or in the skin, for whatever purpose the skin may be used—the affection is a malignant eruption; it is impure.

vesaraf et-habbeged o et-hasheti o et-ha'erev batsemer o vappishtim o et-kol-keli ha'or asher-yihyeh vo hannaga ki-tsara'at mameret hiv ba'esh tissaref

The cloth—whether warp or woof in wool or linen, or any article of skin—in which the affection is found, shall be burned, for it is a malignant eruption; it shall be consumed in fire.

ve'im yireh hakkohen vehinneh lo-fasah hannega babbeged o vasheti o va'erev o bekhol-keli-or

But if the priest sees that the affection in the cloth—whether in warp or in woof, or in any article of skin—has not spread,

vetsivvah hakkohen vekhibbesu et asher-bo hannaga vehisgiro shivat-yamim shenit

the priest shall order the affected article washed, and he shall isolate it for another seven days.

vera'ah hakkohen akhare hukkabbes et-hannega vehinneh lo-hafakh hannega et-eno vehannega lo-fasah tame hu ba'esh tisrefennu pekhetet hiv beqarakhto o vegabbakhto

And if, after the affected article has been washed, the priest sees that the affection has not changed color and that it has not spread, it is impure. It shall be consumed in fire; it is a fret, whether on its inner side or on its outer side.

ve'im ra'ah hakkohen vehinneh kehah hannega akhare hukkabbes oto veqara oto min-habbeged o min-ha'or o min-hasheti o min-ha'erev

But if the priest sees that the affected part, after it has been washed, is faded, he shall tear it out from the cloth or skin, whether in the warp or in the woof;

ve'im-tera'eh od babbeged o-vasheti o-va'erev o vekhol-keli-or porakhat hiv ba'esh tisrefennu et asher-bo hannaga

and if it occurs again in the cloth—whether in warp or in woof—or in any article of skin, it is a wild growth; the affected article shall be consumed in fire.

vehabbeged o-hasheti o-ha'erev o-khol-keli ha'or asher tekhabbes vesar mehem hannaga vekhubbas shenit vetaher

If, however, the affection disappears from the cloth—warp or woof—or from any article of skin that has been washed, it shall be washed again, and it shall be pure.

zot torat nega-tsara'at beged hatsemer o happishtim o hasheti o ha'erev o kol-keli-or letaharo o letamme'o

Such is the procedure for eruptive affections of cloth, woolen or linen, in warp or in woof, or of any article of skin, for pronouncing it pure or impure.
