Levililer 13

¹Ve Rab Musa ve Harun'a şöyle diyerek konuştu:

²"Herhangi bir insanın bedeninin derisinde parlak bir belirti yara izi oluşur ve bu onun bedeninin derisinde bir cüzam yarasına dönüşürse, kâhin Harun'a ya da kâhin olan oğullarından birine götürülecektir.

³Kâhin bedeninin derisindeki yaraya bakacak; eğer yaradaki kıl beyaza dönmüşse ve yaranın görünüşü bedeninin derisinden daha alçaktaysa, bu bir cüzam yarasıdır. Kâhin ona bakacak ve onu kirli ilan edecektir.

⁴Eğer bedeninin derisindeki leke parlak ve beyazsa, ama görünüşü deriden daha alçakta değilse ve kılları beyaza dönmemiş, aksine sönükse, kâhin yarayı yedi gün karantinaya alacaktır.

⁵Kâhin yedinci günde yaraya bakacak; eğer yara olduğu gibi duruyor ve deride yayılmamışsa, kâhin onu ikinci kez yedi gün karantinaya alacaktır.

⁶Kâhin yedinci günde ona ikinci kez bakacak; eğer yara sönükleşmiş ve deride yayılmamışsa, kâhin onu temiz ilan edecektir; çünkü bu sadece bir belirtidir. O kişi giysilerini yıkayacak ve temiz olacaktır.

⁷Ancak temiz ilan edilmek üzere kâhin tarafından görüldükten sonra, bu belirti değişip deride yayılırsa, kâhine ikinci kez görünmelidir.

⁸Kâhin ona bakacak; eğer belirti deride yayılmışsa, kâhin onu kirli ilan edecektir; bu cüzamdır.

⁹Bir kimsede cüzam yarası belirdiğinde, o kişi kâhine getirilecektir.

¹⁰Kâhin ona bakacak; eğer deride beyaz bir yara izi varsa, bu iz kılları beyaza döndürmüşse ve yara izinde canlı etin sağlıklı bir kısmı bulunuyorsa,

¹¹bu, bedeninin derisinde kronikleşmiş eski bir cüzamdır. Kâhin onu kirli ilan edecek ve onu karantinaya alacaktır, çünkü o kirlidir.

¹²Eğer cüzam deride iyice filizlenip yayılır ve kâhinin görebildiği kadarıyla, baştan ayağa kadar bütün deriyi kaplarsa,

¹³kâhin bakacak; eğer cüzam bedeninin bütün derisini kaplamışsa, kâhin yaralıyı temiz ilan edecektir; çünkü her yer beyaza dönmüştür, o temizdir.

¹⁴Fakat kendisinde canlı derinin görüleceği gün, o kirli kılınacaktır.

¹⁵Kâhin sağlıklı deriye bakacak; sağlıklı deri onu kirli kılacaktır, çünkü o kirlidir; bu cüzamdır.

¹⁶Ancak sağlıklı deri iyileşip tekrar beyaza dönerse, o kişi kâhine gelecektir.

¹⁷Kâhin ona bakacak; eğer yara beyaza dönmüşse, kâhin yarayı temiz ilan edecektir; o temizdir.

¹⁸Eğer birinin derisinde çıban çıkar ve iyileşirse,

¹⁹ve çıbanın yerinde beyaz bir yara izi ya da beyazımsı veya kızılımsı parlak bir leke belirirse, kâhine gösterilecektir.

²⁰Kâhin bakacak; eğer görünüşü deriden daha alçaktaysa ve kılları beyaza dönmüşse, kâhin onu kirli ilan edecektir; çünkü bu cüzamdır, çıbanda filizlenmiştir.

²¹Fakat kâhin baktığında orada beyaz kıl yoksa, deriden daha alçakta değilse ve sönükse, kâhin onu yedi gün karantinaya alacaktır.

²²Eğer leke deride iyice yayılıyorsa, kâhin onu kirli ilan edecektir; bu bir cüzam yarasıdır, çıbanda filizlenmiştir.

²³Eğer parlak leke olduğu yerde kalır ve yayılmazsa, bu çıbanın yara izidir; kâhin onu temiz ilan edecektir.

²⁴Ya da birinin derisinde ateş yanığı oluşur ve yanığın iyileşen yerinde kızılımsı veya bembeyaz, parıldayan parlak bir leke belirirse,

²⁵kâhin ona bakacak; eğer parıldayan lekedeki kıllar beyaza dönmüşse ve görünüşü deriden daha alçaktaysa, bu cüzamdır; yanıkta filizlenmiştir. Kâhin onu kirli ilan edecektir, bu bir cüzam yarasıdır.

²⁶Fakat kâhin baktığında parıldayan lekedeki beyaz kıl yoksa, deriden daha alçakta değilse ve sönükse, kâhin onu yedi gün karantinaya alacaktır.

²⁷Kâhin yedinci günde ona bakacak; eğer leke deride iyice yayılmışsa, kâhin onu kirli ilan edecektir; bu bir cüzam yarasıdır, yarada filizlenmiştir.

²⁸Eğer parıldayan leke olduğu yerde kalır, deride yayılmaz ve sönükleşirse, bu yanığın yara izidir; kâhin onu temiz ilan edecektir, çünkü bu yanığın ayırt edici damgasıdır.

²⁹Bir erkek ya da kadının başında veya sakalında bir cüzam yarası belirirse,

³⁰kâhin yaraya bakacak; eğer yaranın görünüşü deriden daha çökükse ve içinde ince, sarımsı kıl varsa, kâhin onu kirli ilan edecektir; bu pullu bir döküntüdür, başın ya da sakalın cüzamıdır.

³¹Kâhin pullu döküntüye baktığında, yaranın görünüşü deriden daha çökük değilse ve içinde sarımsı kıl yoksa, kâhin pullu döküntüsü olan kişiyi yedi gün karantinaya alacaktır.

³²Kâhin yedinci günde yaraya bakacak; eğer pullu döküntü yayılmamışsa, içinde sarımsı kıl yoksa ve pullu döküntünün görünüşü deriden çökük değilse,

³³o kişi tıraş olacak, ama pullu döküntünün olduğu yer tıraş edilmeyecektir. Kâhin pullu döküntüsü olanı ikinci kez yedi gün karantinaya alacaktır.

³⁴Kâhin yedinci günde pullu döküntüye bakacak; eğer kişi tıraş olduktan sonra pullu döküntü deride yayılmamışsa ve pullu döküntünün görünüşü deriden çökük değilse, kâhin onu temiz ilan edecektir. O kişi giysilerini yıkayacak ve temiz olacaktır.

³⁵Ancak temiz ilan edildikten sonra pullu döküntü deride iyice yayılırsa,

³⁶kâhin ona bakacak; eğer pullu döküntü deride yayılmışsa, kâhin sarı kıl aramayacaktır; o kirlidir.

³⁷Fakat pullu döküntü olduğu gibi kalır ve üzerinde siyah kıl biterse, pullu döküntü iyileşmiştir; o temizdir ve kâhin onu temiz ilan edecektir.

³⁸Bir erkek ya da kadının bedeninin derisinde parıldayan, beyazımsı lekeler belirirse,

³⁹kâhin bakacak; eğer bedeninin derisindeki lekeler parıldayan ve beyazımsıysa, bu deride filizlenen zararsız bir lekedir; o temizdir.

⁴⁰Birinin başının saçları dökülürse, o keldir; temizdir.

⁴¹Eğer başının ön tarafındaki saçlar dökülürse, o alından keldir; temizdir.

⁴²Fakat kelliğinde ya da alın kelliğinde beyaz veya kızılımsı bir yara belirirse, bu kelliğinde ya da alın kelliğinde filizlenen cüzamdır.

⁴³Kâhin ona bakacak; eğer kelliğindeki ya da alın kelliğindeki yaranın görünüşü, beden derisindeki cüzam görünüşü gibi beyaz veya kızılımsıysa,

⁴⁴o kişi cüzamlıdır. Kâhin onu kesinlikle kirli ilan edecektir; yarası başındadır.

⁴⁵Cüzam yarası olan kişinin giysileri yırtılmış, başı açık olmalı ve ağzını örterek, "Kirli!" diye bağırmalıdır.

⁴⁶Yara üzerinde kaldığı sürece kirli sayılacaktır; o kirlidir. Tek başına yaşayacak, konutu ordugahın dışında olacaktır.

⁴⁷Eğer bir giyicide, yün ya da keten bir giyside cüzam yarası belirirse,

⁴⁸ister keten ister yün kumaşın arışında veya argacında, ister bir deride ya da deriden yapılmış herhangi bir işlenmiş eşyada olsun,

⁴⁹deride, giyside, arışta, argaçta ya da deriden yapılmış herhangi bir işlenmiş eşyada beliren yara yeşilimsi veya kızılımsıysa, bu cüzam yarasıdır ve kâhine gösterilecektir.

⁵⁰Kâhin yaraya bakacak ve yaralı eşyayı yedi gün karantinaya alacaktır.

⁵¹Kâhin yedinci günde yaraya bakacak; eğer yara giyside, arışta, argaçta ya da kullanım amacı ne olursa olsun deride yayılmışsa, bu kalıcı bir cüzamdır; o kirlidir.

⁵²Yaranın üzerinde bulunduğu yün ya da keten giysiyi, arışı, argacı veya deriden yapılmış her türlü eşyayı yakacaktır; çünkü bu kalıcı bir cüzamdır, ateşte yakılmalıdır.

⁵³Fakat kâhin baktığında yara giyside, arışta, argaçta ya da deriden yapılmış herhangi bir eşyada yayılmamışsa,

⁵⁴kâhin buyruk verecek ve yaranın bulunduğu şey yıkanacaktır; kâhin onu ikinci kez yedi gün karantinaya alacaktır.

⁵⁵Yıkandıktan sonra kâhin yaraya bakacak; eğer yaranın görünüşü değişmemiş ve yara yayılmamışsa, o kirlidir; ateşte yakılmalıdır. Giysinin, arışın ya da argacın içine yerleşmiştir.

⁵⁶Eğer kâhin baktığında, yıkandıktan sonra yara sönükleşmişse, onu giysiden, arıştan, argaçtan ya da deriden yırtıp çıkaracaktır.

⁵⁷Eğer giyside, arışta, argaçta ya da deriden yapılmış herhangi bir eşyada hâlâ görünüyorsa, bu yayılan bir cüzamdır; yaranın üzerinde bulunduğu şey ateşte yakılmalıdır.

⁵⁸Yıkanıp da üzerindeki yara kaybolan giysi, arış, argaç ya da deriden yapılmış her türlü eşya ikinci kez yıkanacak ve temiz olacaktır.

⁵⁹Yün ya da keten giysideki, arıştaki, argaçtaki ya da deriden yapılmış her türlü eşyadaki cüzam yarasını temiz veya kirli ilan etmenin yasası budur.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ ᾿Ααρὼν λέγων·

²ἀνθρώπῳ ἐάν τινι γένηται ἐν δέρματι χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ οὐλὴ σημασίας τηλαυγής, καὶ γένηται ἐν δέρματι χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ ἁφὴ λέπρας, ἀχθήσεται πρὸς ᾿Ααρὼν τὸν ἱερέα, ἢ ἕνα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν ἱερέων.

³καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἐν δέρματι τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ ἐν τῇ ἁφῇ μεταβάλῃ λευκή, καὶ ἡ ὄψις τῆς ἁφῆς ταπεινὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος τοῦ χρωτός, ἁφὴ λέπτρας ἐστί· καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτόν.

⁴ἐὰν δὲ τηλαυγὴς λευκὴ ᾖ ἐν τῷ δέρματι τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταπεινὴ μὴ ᾖ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ αὐτοῦ οὐ μετέβαλε τρίχα λευκήν, αὐτὴ δέ ἐστιν ἀμαυρά, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

⁵καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ἁφὴ μένει ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, οὐ μετέπεσεν ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον.

⁶καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς αὐτὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ τὸ δεύτερον. καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀμαυρὰ ἡ ἁφή, οὐ μετέπεσεν ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι· καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· σημασία γάρ ἐστι· καὶ πλυνάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καθαρὸς ἔσται.

⁷ἐὰν δὲ μεταβαλοῦσα μεταπέσῃ ἡ σημασία ἐν τῷ δέρματι, μετὰ τὸ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν τὸν ἱερέα τοῦ καθαρίσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ὀφθήσεται τὸ δεύτερον τῷ ἱερεῖ.

⁸καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέπεσεν ἡ σημασία ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· λέπρα ἐστί.

⁹καὶ ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐὰν γένηται ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ, καὶ ἥξει πρὸς τόν ἱερέα·

¹⁰καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐλὴ λευκὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ αὕτη μετέβαλε τρίχα λευκήν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑγιοῦς τῆς σαρκὸς τῆς ζώσης ἐν τῇ οὐλῇ,

¹¹λέπρα παλαιουμένη ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ δέρματι τοῦ χρωτός, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν.

¹²ἐὰν δὲ ἀνθοῦσα ἐξανθήσῃ ἡ λέπρα ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ καλύψῃ ἡ λέπρα πᾶν τὸ δέρμα τῆς ἁφῆς ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς ἕως ποδῶν, καθ᾿ ὅλην τὴν ὅρασιν τοῦ ἱερέως,

¹³καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδού ἐκάλυψεν ἡ λέπρα πᾶν τὸ δέρμα τοῦ χρωτός, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν, ὅτι πᾶν μετέβαλε λευκόν, καθαρόν ἐστι.

¹⁴καὶ ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ὀφθῇ ἐν αὐτῷ χρὼς ζῶν, μιανθήσεται,

¹⁵καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸν χρῶτα τὸν ὑγιῆ, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ χρὼς ὁ ὑγιής, ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστι· λέπρα ἐστί.

¹⁶ἐὰν δέ ἀποκαταστῇ ὁ χρὼς ὁ ὑγιής, καὶ μεταβάλῃ λευκή, καὶ ἐλεύσεται πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα,

¹⁷καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέβαλεν ἡ ἁφὴ εἰς τὸ λευκόν, καὶ καθαριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν· καθαρός ἐστι.

¹⁸Καὶ σὰρξ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕλκος καὶ ὑγιασθῇ,

¹⁹καὶ γένηται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τοῦ ἕλκους οὐλὴ λευκή, ἢ τηλαυγὴς λευκαίνουσα, ἢ πυρρίζουσα, καὶ ὀφθήσεται τῷ ἱερεῖ,

²⁰καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις ταπεινοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ αὐτῆς μετέβαλεν εἰς λευκήν, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, ὅτι λέπρα ἐστίν, ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν.

²¹ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ θρὶξ λευκή, καὶ ταπεινὸν μὴ ᾖ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος τοῦ χρωτός, καὶ αὐτὴ ᾖ ἀμαυρά, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

²²ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν, ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν.

²³ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ χώραν μείνῃ τὸ τηλαύγημα καὶ μὴ διαχέηται, οὐλὴ τοῦ ἕλκους ἐστί, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς.

²⁴Καὶ σὰρξ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ κατάκαυμα πυρός, καὶ γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ τὸ ὑγιασθὲν τοῦ κατακαύματος αὐγάζον τηλαυγὲς λευκόν, ὑποπυρρίζον ἢ ἔκλευκον,

²⁵καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέβαλε θρὶξ λευκὴ εἰς τὸ αὐγάζον, καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ ταπεινὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, λέπρα ἐστίν, ἐν τῷ κατακαύματι ἐξήνθησε· καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν.

²⁶ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ αὐγάζοντι θρὶξ λευκή, καὶ ταπεινὸν μὴ ᾖ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, αὐτὸ δὲ ἀμαυρόν, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

²⁷καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ· ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν, ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν.

²⁸ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ χώραν μείνῃ τὸ αὐγάζον, καὶ μὴ διαχυθῇ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, αὐτὴ δὲ ἀμαυρὰ ᾖ, οὐλὴ τοῦ κατακαύμαστός ἐστι, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· ὁ γὰρ χαρακτὴρ τοῦ κατακαύματός ἐστι.

²⁹Καὶ ἀνδρὶ ἢ γυναικὶ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν αὐτοῖς ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ ἢ ἐν τῷ πώγωνι,

³⁰καί ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῆς ἐγκοιλοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος, ἐν αὐτῇ δὲ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα λεπτή, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· θραῦσμά ἐστι, λέπρα τῆς κεφαλῆς ἢ λέπρα τοῦ πώγωνός ἐστι.

³¹καὶ ἐὰν ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τοῦ θραύσματος, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐχ ἡ ὄψις ἐγκοιλοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τοῦ θραύσματος ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

³²καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ διεχύθη τὸ θραῦσμα, καὶ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἡ ὄψις τοῦ θραύσματος οὐκ ἔστι κοίλη ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος.

³³καὶ ξυρηθήσεται τὸ δέρμα, τὸ δὲ θραῦσμα οὐ ξυρηθήσεται, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ θραῦσμα ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον.

³⁴καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ θραῦσμα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ διεχύθη τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι μετὰ τὸ ξυρηθῆναι αὐτόν, καὶ ἡ ὄψις τοῦ θραύσματος οὐκ ἔστι κοίλη ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὴν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ πλυνάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια καθαρὸς ἔσται.

³⁵ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι μετὰ τὸ καθαρισθῆναι αὐτόν,

³⁶καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ διακέχυται τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι, οὐκ ἐπισκέψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ τῆς τριχὸς τῆς ξανθῆς, ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν.

³⁷ἐὰν δὲ ἐνώπιον μείνῃ ἐπὶ χώρας τὸ θραῦσμα, καὶ θρὶξ μέλαινα ἀνατείλῃ ἐν αὐτῷ, ὑγίακε τὸ θραῦσμα· καθαρός ἐστι, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς.

³⁸Καὶ ἀνδρὶ ἢ γυναικί, ἐὰν γένηται ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ αὐγάσματα αὐγάζοντα λευκανθίζοντα,

³⁹καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ αὐγάσματα αὐγάζοντα λευκανθίζοντα, ἀλφός ἐστιν ἐξανθεῖ ἐν τῷ δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, καθαρός ἐστι.

⁴⁰᾿Εὰν δέ τινι μαδήσῃ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ, φαλακρός ἐστι, καθαρός ἐστιν.

⁴¹ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ πρόσωπον μαδήσῃ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ, ἀναφάλαντός ἐστι, καθαρός ἐστιν.

⁴²ἐὰν δὲ γένηται ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ ἀφὴ λευκὴ ἢ πυρρίζουσα, λέπρα ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ, ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ.

⁴³καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις τῆς ἁφῆς λευκὴ ἢ πυρρίζουσα ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ φαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ, ὡς εἶδος λέπρας ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκός αὐτοῦ,

⁴⁴ἄνθρωπος λεπρός ἐστι· μιάνσει μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφὴ αὐτοῦ.

⁴⁵Καὶ ὁ λεπρὸς ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή, τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἔστω παραλελυμένα καὶ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἀκάλυπτος, καὶ περὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ περιβαλέσθω, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος κεκλήσεται·

⁴⁶πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ὅσας ἐὰν ᾖ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἡ ἁφή, ἀκάθαρτος ὢν ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται, κεχωρισμένος καθήσεται, ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἡ διατριβή.

⁴⁷Καὶ ἱματίῳ ἐὰν γένηται ἁφὴ ἐν αὐτῷ λέπρας ἐν ἱματίῳ ἐρέῳ, ἢ ἐν ἱματίῳ στυππυίνῳ,

⁴⁸ἢ ἐν στήμονι, ἢ ἐν κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν τοῖς λινοῖς, ἢ ἐν τοῖς ἐρέοις, ἢ ἐν δέρματι, ἢ ἐν παντὶ ἐργασίμῳ δέρματι,

⁴⁹καὶ γένηται ἡ ἁφή χλωρίζουσα ἢ πυρρίζουσα ἐν τῷ δέρματι, ἢ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει ἐργασίμῳ δέρματος, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστί, καὶ δείξει τῷ ἱερεῖ.

⁵⁰καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

⁵¹καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ· ἐὰν δὲ διαχέηται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν ποιηθῇ δέρματα ἐν τῇ ἐργασίῳ, λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή, ἀκάθαρτός ἐστι.

⁵²κατακαύσει τὸ ἱμάτιον, ἢ τὸν στήμονα, ἢ τὴν κρόκην ἐν τοῖς ἐρέοις, ἢ ἐν τοῖς λινοῖς, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἂν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡ ἁφή, ὅτι λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν, ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται.

⁵³ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ μὴ διαχέηται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ,

⁵⁴καὶ συντάξει ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ πλυνεῖ ἐφ᾿ οὗ ἐὰν ᾖ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφή, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον·

⁵⁵καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς μετὰ τὸ πλυθῦναι αὐτὸ τὴν ἁφήν, καὶ ἥδε οὐ μὴ μετέβαλεν ἡ ἁφὴ τὴν ὄψιν, καὶ ἡ ἁφὴ οὐ διαχεῖται, ἀκάθαρτόν ἐστιν, ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται· ἐστήρικται ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ.

⁵⁶καὶ ἐὰν ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ᾖ ἀμαυρὰ ἡ ἁφὴ μετὰ τὸ πλυθῆναι αὐτό, ἀπορρήξει αὐτὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱματίου, ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ στήμονος, ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς κρόκης, ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος.

⁵⁷ἐὰν δὲ ὀφθῇ ἔτι ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ, λέπρα ἐξανθοῦσά ἐστιν· ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή.

⁵⁸καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον, ἢ ὁ στήμων, ἢ ἡ κρόκη, ἢ πᾶν σκεῦος δερμάτινον, ὃ πλυθήσεται, καὶ ἀποστήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφή, καὶ πλυθήσεται τὸ δεύτερον, καὶ καθαρὸν ἔσται.

⁵⁹οὗτος ὁ νόμος ἁφῆς λέπρας ἱματίου ἐρέου, ἢ στυππυίνου, ἢ στήμονος, ἢ κρόκης, ἢ παντὸς σκεύους δερματίνου, εἰς τὸ καθαρίσαι αὐτό, ἢ μιᾶναι αὐτό.

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

²If any man should have in the skin of his flesh a bright clear spot, and there should be in the skin of his flesh a plague of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests.

³And the priest shall view the spot in the skin of his flesh; and [if] the hair in the spot be changed [to] white, and the appearance of the spot be below the skin of the flesh, it is a plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look upon it, and pronounce him unclean.

⁴But if the spot be clear and white in the skin of his flesh, yet the appearance of it be not deep below the skin, and its hair have not changed [itself for] white hair, but it is dark, then the priest shall separate [him that has] the spot seven days;

⁵and the priest shall look on the spot the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the spot remains before him, [if] the spot has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall separate him the second time seven days.

⁶And the priest shall look upon him the second time on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the spot be dark, [and] the spot have not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is a [mere] mark, and the man shall wash his garments and be clean.

⁷But if the bright spot should have changed and spread in the skin, after the priest has seen him for the purpose of purifying him, then shall he appear the second time to the priest,

⁸and the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, [if] the mark have spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

⁹And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come to the priest;

¹⁰and the priest shall look, and, behold, if it is a white spot in the skin, and it has changed the hair to white, and [there be] some of the sound part of the quick flesh in the sore--

¹¹it is a leprosy waxing old in the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall separate him, because he is unclean.

¹²And if the leprosy should have come out very evidently in the skin, and the leprosy should cover all the skin of the patient from the head to the feet, wheresoever the priest shall look;

¹³then the priest shall look, and, behold, the leprosy has covered all the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague, because it has changed all to white, it is clean.

¹⁴But on whatsoever day the quick flesh shall appear on him, he shall be pronounced unclean.

¹⁵And the priest shall look upon the sound flesh, and the sound flesh shall prove him to be unclean; for it is unclean, it is a leprosy.

¹⁶But if the sound flesh be restored and changed [to] white, then shall he come to the priest;

¹⁷and the priest shall see [him], and, behold, [if] the plague is turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the patient clean: he is clean.

¹⁸And if the flesh should have become an ulcer in his skin, and should be healed,

¹⁹and there should be in the place of the ulcer a white sore, or [one] looking white and bright, or fiery, and it shall be seen by the priest;

²⁰then the priest shall look, and, behold, if the appearance be beneath the skin, and its hair has changed to white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is a leprosy, it has broken out in the ulcer.

²¹But if the priest look, and behold there is no white hair on it, and it be not below the skin of the flesh, and it be dark-coloured; then the priest shall separate him seven days.

²²But if it manifestly spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy; it has broken out in the ulcer.

²³But if the bright spot should remain in its place and not spread, it is the scar of the ulcer; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

²⁴And if the flesh be in his skin [in a state of] fiery inflammation, and there should be in his skin the part which is healed of the inflammation, bright, clear, and white, suffused with red or very white;

²⁵then the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, [if] the hair being white is changed to a bright colour, and its appearance is lower than the skin, it is a leprosy; it has broken out in the inflammation, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy.

²⁶But if the priest should look, and, behold, there is not in the bright spot any white hair, and it should not be lower than the skin, and it should be dark, then the priest shall separate him seven days.

²⁷And the priest shall look upon him on the seventh day; and if the spot be much spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy, it has broken out in the ulcer.

²⁸But if the bright spot remain stationary, and be not spread in the skin, but [the sore] should be dark, it is a scar of inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the mark of the inflammation.

²⁹And if a man or a woman have in them a plague of leprosy in the head or the beard;

³⁰then the priest shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the appearance of it be beneath the skin, and in it there be thin yellowish hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scurf, it is a leprosy of the head or a leprosy of the beard.

³¹And if the priest should see the plague of the scurf, and, behold, the appearance of it be not beneath the skin, and there is no yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall set apart [him that has] the plague of the scurf seven days.

³²And the priest shall look at the plague on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the scurf be not spread, and there be no yellowish hair on it, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow under the skin;

³³then the skin shall be shaven, but the scurf shall not be shaven; and the priest shall set aside the person having the scurf the second time for seven days.

³⁴And the priest shall see the scurf on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the scurf is not spread in the skin after the man’s being shaved, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow beneath the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and be clean.

³⁵But if the scurf be indeed spread in the skin after he has been purified,

³⁶then the priest shall look, and, behold, [if] the scurf be spread in the skin, the priest shall not examine concerning the yellow hair, for he is unclean.

³⁷But if the scurf remain before [him] in its place, and a dark hair should have arisen in it, the scurf is healed: he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

³⁸And if a man or woman should have in the skin of their flesh spots of a bright whiteness,

³⁹then the priest shall look; and, behold, there [being] bright spots of a bright whiteness in the skin of their flesh, it is a tetter; it burst forth in the skin of his flesh; he is clean.

⁴⁰And if any one’s head should lose the hair, he is [only] bald, he is clean.

⁴¹And if his head should lose the hair in front, he is forehead bald: he is clean.

⁴²And if there should be in his baldness of head, or his baldness of forehead, a white or fiery plague, it is leprosy in his baldness of head, or baldness of forehead.

⁴³And the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the appearance of the plague be white or inflamed in his baldness of head or baldness in front, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of his flesh,

⁴⁴he is a leprous man: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean, his plague is in his head.

⁴⁵And the leper in whom the plague is, let his garments be ungirt, and his head uncovered; and let him have a covering put upon his mouth, and he shall be called unclean.

⁴⁶All the days in which the plague shall be upon him, being unclean, he shall be [esteemed] unclean; he shall dwell apart, his place of sojourn shall be without the camp.

⁴⁷And if a garment have in it the plague of leprosy, a garment of wool, or a garment of flax,

⁴⁸either in the warp or in the woof, or in the linen, or in the woollen threads, or in a skin, or in any workmanship of skin,

⁴⁹and the plague be greenish or reddish in the skin, or in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and he shall show it to the priest.

⁵⁰And the priest shall look upon the plague, and the priest shall set apart [that which has] the plague seven days.

⁵¹And the priest shall look upon the plague on the seventh day; and if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in the skin, in whatsoever things skins may be used in their workmanship, the plague is a confirmed leprosy; it is unclean.

⁵²He shall burn the garment, either the warp or woof in woollen garments or in flaxen, or in any utensil of skin, in which there may be the plague; because it is a confirmed leprosy; it shall be burnt with fire.

⁵³And if the priest should see, and the plague be not spread in the garments, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin,

⁵⁴then the priest shall give directions, and [one] shall wash that on which there may have been the plague, and the priest shall set it aside a second time for seven days.

⁵⁵And the priest shall look upon it after the plague has been washed; and [if] this, even the plague, has not changed its appearance, and the plague does not spread, it is unclean; it shall be burnt with fire: it is fixed in the garment, in the warp, or in the woof.

⁵⁶And if the priest should look, and the spot be dark after it has been washed, he shall tear it off from the garment, either from the warp or from the woof, or from the skin.

⁵⁷And if it should still appear in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it is a leprosy bursting forth: that wherein is the plague shall be burnt with fire.

⁵⁸And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any article of skin, which shall be washed, and the plague depart from it, shall also be washed again, and shall be clean.

⁵⁹This is the law of the plague of leprosy of a woollen or linen garment, either of the warp, or woof, or any leathern article, to pronounce it clean or unclean.
