² When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising a scab or 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 ⚑

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 ⚑

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 ⚑
