STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל־אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹר	1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 אָדָם כִּי־יִהְיֶה בְעֹור־בְּשָׂרֹו שְׂאֵת אֹו־סַפַּחַת אֹו בַהֶרֶת וְהָיָה בְעֹור־בְּשָׂרֹו לְנֶגַע צָרָעַת וְהוּבָא אֶל־אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן אֹו אֶל־אַחַד מִבָּנָיו הַכֹּהֲנִים	2 "If someone has on his skin a scab or pustule or blotch which appears to be the sore of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest, or to one of the priests among his descendants,
3 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַנֶּגַע בְּעֹור־הַבָּשָׂר וְשֵׂעָר בַּנֶּגַע הָפַךְ ׀ לָבָן וּמַרְאֵה הַנֶּגַע עָמֹק מֵעֹור בְּשָׂרֹו נֶגַע צָרַעַת הוּא וְרָאָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן וְטִמֵּא אֹתֹו	3 who shall examine the sore on his skin. If the hair on the sore has turned white and the sore itself shows that it has penetrated below the skin, it is indeed the sore of leprosy; the priest, on seeing this, shall declare the man unclean.
4 וְאִם־בַּהֶרֶת לְבָנָה הִוא בְּעֹור בְּשָׂרֹו וְעָמֹק אֵין־מַרְאֶהָ מִן־הָעֹור וּשְׂעָרָה לֹא־הָפַךְ לָבָן וְהִסְגִּיר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַנֶּגַע שִׁבְעַת יָמִים	4 If, however, the blotch on the skin is white, but does not seem to have penetrated below the skin, nor has the hair turned white, the priest shall quarantine the stricken man for seven days.
5 וְרָאָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי וְהִנֵּה הַנֶּגַע עָמַד בְּעֵינָיו לֹא־פָשָׂה הַנֶּגַע בָּעֹור וְהִסְגִּירֹו הַכֹּהֵן שִׁבְעַת יָמִים שֵׁנִית	5 On the seventh day the priest shall again examine him. If he judges that the sore has remained unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall quarantine him for another seven days,
6 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן אֹתֹו בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי שֵׁנִית וְהִנֵּה כֵּהָה הַנֶּגַע וְלֹא־פָשָׂה הַנֶּגַע בָּעֹור וְטִהֲרֹו הַכֹּהֵן מִסְפַּחַת הִיא וְכִבֶּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָהֵר	6 and once more examine him on the seventh day. If the sore is now dying out and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall declare the man clean; it was merely eczema. The man shall wash his garments and so become clean.
7 וְאִם־פָּשֹׂה תִפְשֶׂה הַמִּסְפַּחַת בָּעֹור אַחֲרֵי הֵרָאֹתֹו אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן לְטָהֳרָתֹו וְנִרְאָה שֵׁנִית אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן	7 But if, after he has shown himself to the priest to be declared clean, the eczema spreads at all on his skin, he shall once more show himself to the priest.
8 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה פָּשְׂתָה הַמִּסְפַּחַת בָּעֹור וְטִמְּאֹו הַכֹּהֵן צָרַעַת הִוא׃ פ	8 Should the priest, on examining it, find that the eczema has indeed spread on the skin, he shall declare the man unclean; it is leprosy.
9 נֶגַע צָרַעַת כִּי תִהְיֶה בְּאָדָם וְהוּבָא אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן	9 "When someone is stricken with leprosy, he shall be brought to the priest.
10 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה שְׂאֵת־לְבָנָה בָּעֹור וְהִיא הָפְכָה שֵׂעָר לָבָן וּמִחְיַת בָּשָׂר חַי בַּשְׂאֵת	10 Should the priest, on examining him, find that there is a white scab on the skin which has turned the hair white and that there is raw flesh in it,
11 צָרַעַת נֹושֶׁנֶת הִוא בְּעֹור בְּשָׂרֹו וְטִמְּאֹו הַכֹּהֵן לֹא יַסְגִּרֶנּוּ כִּי טָמֵא הוּא	11 it is skin leprosy that has long developed. The priest shall declare the man unclean without first quarantining him, since he is certainly unclean.
12 וְאִם־פָּרֹוחַ תִּפְרַח הַצָּרַעַת בָּעֹור וְכִסְּתָה הַצָּרַעַת אֵת כָּל־עֹור הַנֶּגַע מֵרֹאשֹׁו וְעַד־רַגְלָיו לְכָל־מַרְאֵה עֵינֵי הַכֹּהֵן	12 If leprosy breaks out on the skin and, as far as the priest can see, covers all the skin of the stricken man from head to foot,
13 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה כִסְּתָה הַצָּרַעַת אֶת־כָּל־בְּשָׂרֹו וְטִהַר אֶת־הַנָּגַע כֻּלֹּו הָפַךְ לָבָן טָהֹור הוּא	13 should the priest then, on examining him, find that the leprosy does cover his whole body, he shall declare the stricken man clean; since it has all turned white, the man is clean.
14 וּבְיֹום הֵרָאֹות בֹּו בָּשָׂר חַי יִטְמָא	14 But as soon as raw flesh appears on him, he is unclean;
15 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַבָּשָׂר הַחַי וְטִמְּאֹו הַבָּשָׂר הַחַי טָמֵא הוּא צָרַעַת הוּא	15 on observing the raw flesh, the priest shall declare him unclean, because raw flesh is unclean; it is leprosy.
16 אֹו כִי יָשׁוּב הַבָּשָׂר הַחַי וְנֶהְפַּךְ לְלָבָן וּבָא אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן	16 If, however, the raw flesh again turns white, he shall return to the priest;
17 וְרָאָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה נֶהְפַּךְ הַנֶּגַע לְלָבָן וְטִהַר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַנֶּגַע טָהֹור הוּא׃ פ	17 should the latter, on examining him, find that the sore has indeed turned white, he shall declare the stricken man clean, and thus he will be clean.
18 וּבָשָׂר כִּי־יִהְיֶה בֹו־בְעֹרֹו שְׁחִין וְנִרְפָּא	18 "If a man who had a boil on his skin which later healed,
19 וְהָיָה בִּמְקֹום הַשְּׁחִין שְׂאֵת לְבָנָה אֹו בַהֶרֶת לְבָנָה אֲדַמְדָּמֶת וְנִרְאָה אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן	19 should now in the place of the boil have a white scab or a pink blotch, he shall show himself to the priest.
20 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה מַרְאֶהָ שָׁפָל מִן־הָעֹור וּשְׂעָרָהּ הָפַךְ לָבָן וְטִמְּאֹו הַכֹּהֵן נֶגַע־צָרַעַת הִוא בַּשְּׁחִין פָּרָחָה	20 If the latter, on examination, sees that it is deeper than the skin and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare the man unclean; it is the sore of leprosy that has broken out in the boil.
21 וְאִם ׀ יִרְאֶנָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה אֵין־בָּהּ שֵׂעָר לָבָן וּשְׁפָלָה אֵינֶנָּה מִן־הָעֹור וְהִיא כֵהָה וְהִסְגִּירֹו הַכֹּהֵן שִׁבְעַת יָמִים	21 But if the priest, on examining him, finds that there is no white hair in it and that it is not deeper than the skin and is already dying out, the priest shall quarantine him for seven days.
22 וְאִם־פָּשֹׂה תִפְשֶׂה בָּעֹור וְטִמֵּא הַכֹּהֵן אֹתֹו נֶגַע הִוא	22 If it has then spread on the skin, the priest shall declare him unclean; the man is stricken.
23 וְאִם־תַּחְתֶּיהָ תַּעֲמֹד הַבַּהֶרֶת לֹא פָשָׂתָה צָרֶבֶת הַשְּׁחִין הִוא וְטִהֲרֹו הַכֹּהֵן׃ ס	23 But if the blotch remains in its place without spreading, it is merely the scar of the boil; the priest shall therefore declare him clean.
24 אֹו בָשָׂר כִּי־יִהְיֶה בְעֹרֹו מִכְוַת־אֵשׁ וְהָיְתָה מִחְיַת הַמִּכְוָה בַּהֶרֶת לְבָנָה אֲדַמְדֶּמֶת אֹו לְבָנָה	24 "If a man had a burn on his skin, and the proud flesh of the burn now becomes a pink or a white blotch,
25 וְרָאָה אֹתָהּ הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה נֶהְפַּךְ שֵׂעָר לָבָן בַּבַּהֶרֶת וּמַרְאֶהָ עָמֹק מִן־הָעֹור צָרַעַת הִוא בַּמִּכְוָה פָּרָחָה וְטִמֵּא אֹתֹו הַכֹּהֵן נֶגַע צָרַעַת הִוא	25 the priest shall examine it. If the hair has turned white on the blotch and this seems to have penetrated below the skin, it is leprosy that has broken out in the burn; the priest shall therefore declare him unclean and stricken with leprosy.
26 וְאִם ׀ יִרְאֶנָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה אֵין־בַּבֶּהֶרֶת שֵׂעָר לָבָן וּשְׁפָלָה אֵינֶנָּה מִן־הָעֹור וְהִוא כֵהָה וְהִסְגִּירֹו הַכֹּהֵן שִׁבְעַת יָמִים	26 But if the priest, on examining it, finds that there is no white hair on the blotch and that this is not deeper than the skin and is already dying out, the priest shall quarantine him for seven days.
27 וְרָאָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי אִם־פָּשֹׂה תִפְשֶׂה בָּעֹור וְטִמֵּא הַכֹּהֵן אֹתֹו נֶגַע צָרַעַת הִוא	27 Should the priest, when examining it on the seventh day, find that it has spread at all on the skin, he shall declare the man unclean and stricken with leprosy.
28 וְאִם־תַּחְתֶּיהָ תַעֲמֹד הַבַּהֶרֶת לֹא־פָשְׂתָה בָעֹור וְהִוא כֵהָה שְׂאֵת הַמִּכְוָה הִוא וְטִהֲרֹו הַכֹּהֵן כִּי־צָרֶבֶת הַמִּכְוָה הִוא׃ פ	28 But if the blotch remains in its place without spreading on the skin and is already dying out, it is merely the scab of the burn; the priest shall therefore declare the man clean, since it is only the scar of the burn.
29 וְאִישׁ אֹו אִשָּׁה כִּי־יִהְיֶה בֹו נָגַע בְּרֹאשׁ אֹו בְזָקָן	29 "When a man or a woman has a sore on the head or cheek,
30 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַנֶּגַע וְהִנֵּה מַרְאֵהוּ עָמֹק מִן־הָעֹור וּבֹו שֵׂעָר צָהֹב דָּק וְטִמֵּא אֹתֹו הַכֹּהֵן נֶתֶק הוּא צָרַעַת הָרֹאשׁ אֹו הַזָּקָן הוּא	30 should the priest, on examining it, find that the sore has penetrated below the skin and that there is fine yellow hair on it, the priest shall declare the person unclean, for this is scall, a leprous disease of the head or cheek.
31 וְכִי־יִרְאֶה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־נֶגַע הַנֶּתֶק וְהִנֵּה אֵין־מַרְאֵהוּ עָמֹק מִן־הָעֹור וְשֵׂעָר שָׁחֹר אֵין בֹּו וְהִסְגִּיר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־נֶגַע הַנֶּתֶק שִׁבְעַת יָמִים	31 But if the priest, on examining the scall sore, finds that it has not penetrated below the skin, though the hair on it may not be black, the priest shall quarantine the person with scall sore for seven days,
32 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַנֶּגַע בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי וְהִנֵּה לֹא־פָשָׂה הַנֶּתֶק וְלֹא־הָיָה בֹו שֵׂעָר צָהֹב וּמַרְאֵה הַנֶּתֶק אֵין עָמֹק מִן־הָעֹור	32 and on the seventh day again examine the sore. If the scall has not spread and has no yellow hair on it and does not seem to have penetrated below the skin,
33 וְהִתְגַּלָּח וְאֶת־הַנֶּתֶק לֹא יְגַלֵּחַ וְהִסְגִּיר הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַנֶּתֶק שִׁבְעַת יָמִים שֵׁנִית	33 the man shall shave himself, but not on the diseased spot. Then the priest shall quarantine him for another seven days.
34 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַנֶּתֶק בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי וְהִנֵּה לֹא־פָשָׂה הַנֶּתֶק בָּעֹור וּמַרְאֵהוּ אֵינֶנּוּ עָמֹק מִן־הָעֹור וְטִהַר אֹתֹו הַכֹּהֵן וְכִבֶּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָהֵר	34 If the priest, when examining the scall on the seventh day, finds that it has not spread on the skin and that it has not penetrated below the skin, he shall declare the man clean; the latter shall wash his garments, and thus he will be clean.
35 וְאִם־פָּשֹׂה יִפְשֶׂה הַנֶּתֶק בָּעֹור אַחֲרֵי טָהֳרָתֹו	35 But if the scall spreads at all on his skin after he has been declared clean,
36 וְרָאָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה פָּשָׂה הַנֶּתֶק בָּעֹור לֹא־יְבַקֵּר הַכֹּהֵן לַשֵּׂעָר הַצָּהֹב טָמֵא הוּא	36 the priest shall again examine it. If the scall has indeed spread on the skin, he need not look for yellow hair; the man is surely unclean.
37 וְאִם־בְּעֵינָיו עָמַד הַנֶּתֶק וְשֵׂעָר שָׁחֹר צָמַח־בֹּו נִרְפָּא הַנֶּתֶק טָהֹור הוּא וְטִהֲרֹו הַכֹּהֵן׃ ס	37 If, however, he judges that the scall has remained in its place and that black hair has grown on it, the disease has been healed; the man is clean, and the priest shall declare him clean.
38 וְאִישׁ אֹו־אִשָּׁה כִּי־יִהְיֶה בְעֹור־בְּשָׂרָם בֶּהָרֹת בֶּהָרֹת לְבָנֹת	38 "When the skin of a man or a woman is spotted with white blotches,
39 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה בְעֹור־בְּשָׂרָם בֶּהָרֹת כֵּהֹות לְבָנֹת בֹּהַק הוּא פָּרַח בָּעֹור טָהֹור הוּא׃ ס	39 the priest shall make an examination. If the blotches on the skin are white and already dying out, it is only tetter that has broken out on the skin, and the person therefore is clean.
40 וְאִישׁ כִּי יִמָּרֵט רֹאשֹׁו קֵרֵחַ הוּא טָהֹור הוּא	40 "When a man loses the hair of his head, he is not unclean merely because of his bald crown.
41 וְאִם מִפְּאַת פָּנָיו יִמָּרֵט רֹאשֹׁו גִּבֵּחַ הוּא טָהֹור הוּא	41 So too, if he loses the hair on the front of his head, he is not unclean merely because of his bald forehead.
42 וְכִי־יִהְיֶה בַקָּרַחַת אֹו בַגַּבַּחַת נֶגַע לָבָן אֲדַמְדָּם צָרַעַת פֹּרַחַת הִוא בְּקָרַחְתֹּו אֹו בְגַבַּחְתֹּו	42 But when there is a pink sore on his bald crown or bald forehead, it is leprosy that is breaking out there.
43 וְרָאָה אֹתֹו הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה שְׂאֵת־הַנֶּגַע לְבָנָה אֲדַמְדֶּמֶת בְּקָרַחְתֹּו אֹו בְגַבַּחְתֹּו כְּמַרְאֵה צָרַעַת עֹור בָּשָׂר	43 The priest shall examine him; and if the scab on the sore of the bald spot has the same pink appearance as that of skin leprosy of the fleshy part of the body,
44 אִישׁ־צָרוּעַ הוּא טָמֵא הוּא טַמֵּא יְטַמְּאֶנּוּ הַכֹּהֵן בְּרֹאשֹׁו נִגְעֹו	44 the man is leprous and unclean, and the priest shall declare him unclean by reason of the sore on his head.
45 וְהַצָּרוּעַ אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו הַנֶּגַע בְּגָדָיו יִהְיוּ פְרֻמִים וְרֹאשֹׁו יִהְיֶה פָרוּעַ וְעַל־שָׂפָם יַעְטֶה וְטָמֵא ׀ טָמֵא יִקְרָא	45 "The one who bears the sore of leprosy shall keep his garments rent and his head bare, and shall muffle his beard; he shall cry out, 'Unclean, unclean!'
46 כָּל־יְמֵי אֲשֶׁר הַנֶּגַע בֹּו יִטְמָא טָמֵא הוּא בָּדָד יֵשֵׁב מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה מֹושָׁבֹו׃ ס	46 As long as the sore is on him he shall declare himself unclean, since he is in fact unclean. He shall dwell apart, making his abode outside the camp.
47 וְהַבֶּגֶד כִּי־יִהְיֶה בֹו נֶגַע צָרָעַת בְּבֶגֶד צֶמֶר אֹו בְּבֶגֶד פִּשְׁתִּים	47 "When a leprous infection is on a garment of wool or of linen,
48 אֹו בִשְׁתִי אֹו בְעֵרֶב לַפִּשְׁתִּים וְלַצָּמֶר אֹו בְעֹור אֹו בְּכָל־מְלֶאכֶת עֹור	48 or on woven or knitted material of linen or wool, or on a hide or anything made of leather,
49 וְהָיָה הַנֶּגַע יְרַקְרַק ׀ אֹו אֲדַמְדָּם בַּבֶּגֶד אֹו בָעֹור אֹו־בַשְּׁתִי אֹו־בָעֵרֶב אֹו בְכָל־כְּלִי־עֹור נֶגַע צָרַעַת הוּא וְהָרְאָה אֶת־הַכֹּהֵן	49 if the infection on the garment or hide, or on the woven or knitted material, or on any leather article is greenish or reddish, the thing is indeed infected with leprosy and must be shown to the priest.
50 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַנָּגַע וְהִסְגִּיר אֶת־הַנֶּגַע שִׁבְעַת יָמִים	50 Having examined the infection, the priest shall quarantine the infected article for seven days.
51 וְרָאָה אֶת־הַנֶּגַע בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי כִּי־פָשָׂה הַנֶּגַע בַּבֶּגֶד אֹו־בַשְּׁתִי אֹו־בָעֵרֶב אֹו בָעֹור לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יֵעָשֶׂה הָעֹור לִמְלָאכָה צָרַעַת מַמְאֶרֶת הַנֶּגַע טָמֵא הוּא	51 "On the seventh day the priest shall again examine the infection. If it has spread on the garment, or on the woven or knitted material, or on the leather, whatever be its use, the infection is malignant leprosy, and the article is unclean.
52 וְשָׂרַף אֶת־הַבֶּגֶד אֹו אֶת־הַשְּׁתִי ׀ אֹו אֶת־הָעֵרֶב בַּצֶּמֶר אֹו בַפִּשְׁתִּים אֹו אֶת־כָּל־כְּלִי הָעֹור אֲשֶׁר־יִהְיֶה בֹו הַנָּגַע כִּי־צָרַעַת מַמְאֶרֶת הִוא בָּאֵשׁ תִּשָּׂרֵף	52 He shall therefore burn up the garment, or the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or the leather article, whatever it may be, which is infected; since it has malignant leprosy, it must be destroyed by fire.
53 וְאִם יִרְאֶה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה לֹא־פָשָׂה הַנֶּגַע בַּבֶּגֶד אֹו בַשְּׁתִי אֹו בָעֵרֶב אֹו בְּכָל־כְּלִי־עֹור	53 But if the priest, on examining the infection, finds that it has not spread on the garment, or on the woven or knitted material, or on the leather article,
54 וְצִוָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְכִבְּסוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו הַנָּגַע וְהִסְגִּירֹו שִׁבְעַת־יָמִים שֵׁנִית	54 he shall give orders to have the infected article washed and then quarantined for another seven days.
55 וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן אַחֲרֵי ׀ הֻכַּבֵּס אֶת־הַנֶּגַע וְהִנֵּה לֹא־הָפַךְ הַנֶּגַע אֶת־עֵינֹו וְהַנֶּגַע לֹא־פָשָׂה טָמֵא הוּא בָּאֵשׁ תִּשְׂרְפֶנּוּ פְּחֶתֶת הִוא בְּקָרַחְתֹּו אֹו בְגַבַּחְתֹּו	55 "Then the priest shall again examine the infected article after it has been washed. If the infection has not changed its appearance, even though it may not have spread, the article is unclean and shall be destroyed by fire.
56 וְאִם רָאָה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה כֵּהָה הַנֶּגַע אַחֲרֵי הֻכַּבֵּס אֹתֹו וְקָרַע אֹתֹו מִן־הַבֶּגֶד אֹו מִן־הָעֹור אֹו מִן־הַשְּׁתִי אֹו מִן־הָעֵרֶב	56 But if the priest, on examining the infection, finds that it is dying out after the washing, he shall tear the infected part out of the garment, or the leather, or the woven or knitted material.
57 וְאִם־תֵּרָאֶה עֹוד בַּבֶּגֶד אֹו־בַשְּׁתִי אֹו־בָעֵרֶב אֹו בְכָל־כְּלִי־עֹור פֹּרַחַת הִוא בָּאֵשׁ תִּשְׂרְפֶנּוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו הַנָּגַע	57 If, however, the infection again appears on the garment, or on the woven or knitted material, or on the leather article, it is still virulent and the thing infected shall be destroyed by fire.
58 וְהַבֶּגֶד אֹו־הַשְּׁתִי אֹו־הָעֵרֶב אֹו־כָל־כְּלִי הָעֹור אֲשֶׁר תְּכַבֵּס וְסָר מֵהֶם הַנָּגַע וְכֻבַּס שֵׁנִית וְטָהֵר	58 But if, after the washing, the infection has left the garment, or the woven or knitted material, or the leather article, the thing shall be washed a second time, and thus it will be clean.
59 זֹאת תֹּורַת נֶגַע־צָרַעַת בֶּגֶד הַצֶּמֶר ׀ אֹו הַפִּשְׁתִּים אֹו הַשְּׁתִי אֹו הָעֵרֶב אֹו כָּל־כְּלִי־עֹור לְטַהֲרֹו אֹו לְטַמְּאֹו׃ פ	59 This is the law for leprous infection on a garment of wool or linen, or on woven or knitted material, or on any leather article, to determine whether it is clean or unclean."
