the priest make {judge} him unclean, for it is a breaking out of
leprosy upon the head or beard. If (when the priest looketh on the
breaking out) he see that it is no lower than the other skin and that
there are black hairs therein, let him shut him up seven days. And let
the priest look on the disease the seventh day: and if the breaking out
be gone no further neither be any golden hairs therein neither the scab
be lower than the other skin, then let him be shaven, but let him not
shave the scab, and let the priest shut him up seven days more. And let
the priest look on the breaking out the seventh day again: If the
breaking out be gone no further in the skin nor more lower than the
other skin, then let the priest make {judge} him clean, and let him
wash his clothes and then he is clean. If the breaking out grow in the
skin after that he is once made {judged} clean, let the priest see him.
If it be grown abroad indeed in the skin, let the priest seek no
further for any golden hairs, for he is unclean. But and if he see that
the scab stond still, and that there is black hair grown up therein,
then the scab is healed and he is clean: and the priest shall make
{judge} him clean. If there be found in the skin of the flesh of man or
woman a glistering white, let the priest see it. If there appear in
their flesh a glistering white somewhat blackish, then it is but
freckles grown up in the skin: and he is clean. If a man's hair fall
off his head, then he is headbald and clean. If his hair fall before in
his forehead, then he is foreheadbald and clean. If there be in the
bald head or bald forehead a reddish white scab, then there is leprosy
sprung up in his bald head or bald forehead. And let the priest see it:
and if the rising of the sore be reddish white in his bald head or
forehead after the manner of a leprosy in the skin of the flesh, then
he is a leper and unclean: and the priest shall make {judge} him
unclean, for the plague of his head. And the leper in whom the plague
is, shall have his clothes rent and his head bare and his mouth muffled
and shall be called unclean. And as long as the disease lasteth upon
him, he shall be unclean: for he is unclean, and shall therefore dwell
alone, and even without the host shall his habitation be. When the
plague of leprosy is in a cloth: whether it be linen or woollen, yea
and whether it be in the warp or woof of the linen or of the woollen:
either in a skin or any thing made of skin, if the disease be pale or
somewhat reddish in the cloth or skin: whether it be in the warp or the
woof or any thing that is made of skin, then it is a very leprosy, and
must be shewed unto the priest. And when the priest seeth the plague,
let him shut it up seven days, and let him look on the plague the
seventh day. If it be increased in the cloth: whether it be in the warp
or woof or in a skin or in anything that is made of skin, then the
plague is a fretting leprosy, and it is unclean: And that cloth shall
