Regulations About Defiling Skin Diseases

2 When, any man, shall have - in the skin of his flesh - a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it shall become in the skin of his flesh the plague-spot of leprosy, then shall he be brought in unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests; 3 and the priest shall view the spot in the skin of his flesh - if, the hair in the plague, have turned white and the appearance of the spot be deeper than the skin of his flesh, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is, - so the priest shall view him and pronounce him unclean. 4 But, if the bright spot, though white in the skin of his flesh, is not deeper in appearance than the skin, and, the hair, hath not turned white, then shall the priest shut up the plagued one, seven days.
