1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 "When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests. 3 The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean. 4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days. 5 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days. 6 The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 7 But if the scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again. 8 The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
9 "When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest; 10 and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling, 11 it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.
12 "If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest, 13 then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean. 14 But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. 15 The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest. 17 The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
18 "When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed, 19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest. 20 The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil. 21 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days. 22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague. 23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 "Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white, 25 then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 26 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days. 27 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
29 "When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard, 30 then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard. 31 If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days. 32 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin, 33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more days. 34 On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean. 35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing, 36 then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean. 37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 "When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots, 39 then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.
40 "If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean. 41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean. 42 But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead. 43 Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in 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 plague is on his head.
45 "The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.
47 "The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment; 48 whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in a leather, or in anything made of leather; 49 if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest. 50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days. 51 He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean. 52 He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
53 "If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin; 54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more days. 55 Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside. 56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof; 57 and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn what the plague is in with fire. 58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean."
59 This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
1 耶和华对摩西和亚伦说：
2 "如果有人在皮肉上生了瘤， 或癣， 或火斑， 后来皮肉变成了大痲风病症（本章病名多不能确定它们的学名。传统翻译作"痲风"的希伯来字， 本章用来形容不同的皮肤病症）， 就要把他带到一个作祭司的亚伦子孙那里。
3 祭司要察看皮肉上的病症； 如果患处的毛已经变白（"变白"或译： "较其他皮肉色泽显然为深"）， 病症的现象又深透皮下的肉， 就是大痲风病症， 祭司发现这样， 就要宣布他为不洁净。
4 火斑若是在他的皮肉上发白， 但没有深透皮肤的现象， 上面的毛也没有变白， 祭司就要把患者隔离七天。
5 到了第七天， 祭司要察看他， 如果看见病情止住了， 皮上的患处没有蔓延， 祭司还要把他再隔离七天。
6 到了第七天， 祭司要再察看他； 如果看见患处色泽变淡， 也没有在皮上蔓延， 祭司就要宣布他为洁净， 这不过是癣； 他洗净衣服， 就得洁净了。
7 但是祭司察看， 宣布他洁净以后， 癣若是在皮上蔓延， 他就要再次给祭司察看。
8 祭司要察看他； 如果发现癣在皮上蔓延了， 祭司就要宣布他为不洁净； 这是大痲风。
9 "如果有人感染到大痲风， 就要带他到祭司那里。
10 祭司要察看， 如果发现皮上有白色浮肿， 毛已经变白， 患处的肉红肿，
11 这就是皮肉上的潜伏性痲风病发作， 祭司要宣布他为不洁净； 不必隔离观察， 因为他已经不洁净。
12 如果祭司认为痲风病已在皮上蔓延， 从头到脚遮满了患病者全身的皮，
13 那么祭司就要察看； 如果看见痲风布满了他的全身， 祭司就要宣布那患病者为洁净； 因为全身变白， 就算是洁净。
14 但他身上什么时候出现红肿的肉， 他就成为不洁净。
15 祭司发现那红肿的肉， 就要宣布他为不洁净； 红肿的肉原来是不洁净的， 是痲风病。
16 但红肿的肉若是再复原， 又变成白， 他就要到祭司那里，
17 祭司要察看； 如果看见患处变白了， 祭司就要宣布那患病者为洁净的； 他就洁净了。
18 "人若是在皮肉上生了疮， 已经医好了；
19 但在长疮之处又起了白色浮肿， 或是白中带红的火斑， 他就要给祭司察看。
20 祭司要察看； 如果发现有深透皮肤的现象， 上面的毛也变白了， 祭司就要宣布他为不洁净； 这就是在疮中发作出来的痲风病。
21 但如果祭司察看病情， 看见上面没有白毛， 也没有深透皮肤， 只是发暗而已， 祭司就要把他隔离七天；
22 如果在皮肤上蔓延， 祭司就要宣布他为不洁净； 这就是痲风病。
23 火斑若是在原处止住， 没有蔓延， 就是疮的疤痕， 祭司就要宣布他为洁净。
24 "如果人的皮肉发炎， 发炎红肿的肉成了火斑， 白中带红， 或是纯白，
25 祭司就要察看病情； 如果发现火斑中的毛变白了， 又有深透皮肤的现象， 这就是从发炎发作出来的痲风病。祭司就要宣布他为不洁净； 这是痲风病。
26 但如果祭司察看病情， 看见火斑中没有白毛， 也没有深透皮肤， 只是发暗而已， 祭司就要把他隔离七天。
27 到了第七天， 祭司要察看； 火斑若是在皮上蔓延， 祭司就要宣布他为不洁净， 这是痲风病。
28 火斑若是在原处止住， 没有在皮上蔓延， 只是发暗而已， 这是发炎肿瘤， 祭司就要宣布他为洁净， 因为这只是发炎的疤痕。
29 "无论男女， 如果在头上或是胡须上受到感染，
30 祭司要察看那病； 如果发现有深透皮肤的现象， 而且还有黄色细毛， 祭司就要宣布他为不洁净， 这是癞痢， 是头上或是胡须上的痲风病。
31 祭司察看癞痢的患处； 如果看见没有深透皮肤的现象， 那里也没有黑毛， 祭司就要把那患癞痢的人隔离七天。
32 到了第七天， 祭司要察看患处； 如果看见癞痢没有蔓延， 那里也没有黄毛， 癞痢也没有深透皮肤的现象，
33 那人就要剃去须发， 患癞痢的地方却不可剃； 祭司要把那患癞痢的人再隔离七天。
34 到了第七天， 祭司要再察看那癞痢； 如果看见癞痢在皮上没有蔓延， 也没有深透皮肤的现象， 祭司就要宣布他为洁净； 他洗净衣服， 就洁净了。
35 但是他得洁净以后， 癞痢若是在皮上蔓延，
36 祭司就要察看； 如果发现癞痢在皮上蔓延， 祭司不必找黄毛， 他已经不洁净。
37 如果祭司认为， 癞痢已经止住， 那里也长了黑毛； 癞痢已经痊愈， 那人就洁净了， 祭司要宣布他为洁净。
38 "无论男女， 皮肉上若是起了斑点， 白色的斑点，
39 祭司就要察看； 如果发现斑点在皮肉上呈灰白色， 这是皮肤出疹， 那人是洁净的。
40 "人的头发若是掉下了， 只不过是秃头， 还是洁净的。
41 人的头顶上若是掉下了头发， 只不过是秃额， 他还是洁净的。
42 但是头顶秃处或是额前秃处， 若有白中带红的病症， 这就是痲风病， 在他的头顶秃处或是额前处发作。
43 祭司就要察看， 如果发现在他头顶秃处或是额前秃处， 有白中带红的浮肿病症， 像皮肉上痲风病的现象，
44 那人就是患了痲风病， 就不洁净； 祭司要宣布他为不洁净， 那人头上染了痲风。
45 "身上患有痲风病的人， 要撕裂自己的衣服， 披头散发， 遮盖上唇喊叫： ‘不洁净！ 不洁净！ ’
46 在他患病的日子里， 他是不洁净的； 他既然不洁净， 就要独居， 住在营外。
47 "染了痲风病的衣服， 无论是羊毛衣服或是麻布衣服；
48 不论是编结的或是纺织的； 是麻布的或是羊毛的； 是皮子或是皮子做成的任何物件；
49 病症若是在衣服或皮子、编结物或纺织物， 或任何皮子做成的器具上发绿或发红， 那就是发霉（"发霉"与"恶性皮肤病"是同一希伯来字）的现象， 要给祭司察看。
50 祭司要察看那现象， 把染了病症之物隔离七天。
51 到了第七天， 祭司要察看那病症； 如果那病症在衣服、编结物、纺织物、皮子， 或是任何皮子做成的物件上蔓延， 这就是顽恶的霉， 那件物件就不洁净了。
52 染上病症的衣服， 无论是编结的或是纺织的， 是羊毛或是麻布， 或任何皮子做的物件， 都要烧掉。因为那是顽恶的霉， 所以要用火烧掉。
53 "但如果祭司察看病症， 在衣服、编结物、纺织物， 或是皮子做的任何物件上， 没有蔓延，
54 祭司就要吩咐人把它洗净， 然后再隔离七天。
55 洗净以后， 祭司要察看； 如果看见那病症没有转变， 虽然没有蔓延， 那物件仍是不洁净； 要用火把它烧掉， 因为里外都腐蚀了。
56 "但如果祭司察看的时候， 看见它洗净以后， 色泽暗淡了， 就要把那部分从衣服或是皮子、编结物或纺织物上撕下来。
57 如果病症再出现在剩下的衣服、编结物、纺织物或任何皮子做的物件上， 那就是病症仍然发作， 染了病症的物件， 要用火烧掉。
58 如果病症离开了， 经过洗净， 剩下的衣服， 无论编结的或是纺织的， 或任何皮子做的物件， 只要再洗一次， 就洁净了。"
59 以上是与羊毛衣服或是麻布衣服、编结的或纺织的或任何皮子做的物件有关的发霉律例， 可以断定洁净， 或是不洁净。
