Diagnosing Skin Diseases

13The Lord said this to Moses and Aaron:H3068H1696H4872H175H5592"When a person has a swelling or a scab in the skin on his body that turns white in appearance and appears to be more extensive than skin deep, he is to be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons among the priests.H120H5785H1320H7613H5597H934H5785H1320H5061H6883H935H175H3548H259H1121H35483The priest is to examine the skin rash on the body. If the hair on the skin rash has turned white and its appearance is deeper than the skin of his body, it's an infectious skin disease. When the priest has examined it, then he is to declare him unclean.H3548H7200H5061H5785H1320H8181H5061H2015H3836H5061H4758H6013H5785H1320H5061H6883H3548H7200H29304"If the light spot in the skin of his body is white but the appearance of the skin rash isn't deeper than the skin of his body and its hair has not become white, then the priest is to isolate the one who is infected for seven days.H934H3836H5785H1320H4758H6013H5785H8181H2015H3836H3548H5462H5061H7651H31175On the seventh day, the priest is to examine him again. If in his opinion the skin rash remained the same and it had not spread, then he is to isolate him for another seven days.H3548H7200H7637H3117H5061H5869H5975H5061H6581H5785H3548H5462H7651H3117H81456"On the next seventh day, the priest is to examine him again. If the skin rash didn't become dull and it didn't spread in the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him clean: it's a scab. He is to wash his clothes and be clean.H3548H7200H8145H7637H3117H5061H3544H5061H6581H5785H3548H2891H4556H3526H899H28917But if the scab has spread in the skin after he presented himself to the priest for cleansing, then he is to show himself the second time to the priest.H4556H6581H6581H5785H310H7200H3548H2893H7200H3548H81458When the priest examines him and determines that the scab has, in fact, spread in his skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean, since it's an infectious skin disease."H3548H7200H4556H6581H5785H3548H2930H6883

Infectious Skin Diseases

9"When a person has a skin rash that's infectious, then he is to be brought to the priest.H5061H6883H120H935H354810The priest is to examine it. If it is, indeed, a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white, and yet sustains live flesh on the swelling,H3548H7200H7613H3836H5785H2015H8181H3836H4241H2416H1320H761311it's a festering skin disease in his body. The priest is to declare him unclean. The man need not be confined, since he's already unclean.H3462H6883H5785H1320H3548H2930H5462H293112If the infectious skin disease spreads in the skin so that it coveres his entire body from head to foot, as the priest examines it,H6883H6524H6524H5785H6883H3680H5785H5061H7218H7272H3548H4758H586913and when the priest examines and indeed the infectious skin disease has covered his entire body, then he is to declare him clean, even though he still has the skin infection. He has turned entirely white, so he's clean.H3548H7200H6883H3680H1320H2891H5061H2015H3836H288914"But if in the day infected flesh appears again in him, he is unclean.H3117H2416H1320H7200H293015The priest is to examine the infected flesh and declare him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it's an infectious skin disease.H3548H7200H2416H1320H2930H2416H1320H2931H688316If the raw flesh recurs and turns white, then he is to go to the priest.H2416H1320H7725H2015H3836H935H354817When the priest examines him and finds that the skin rash has indeed turned white, then the priest is to declare the one with the skin rash clean, and he will be clean."H3548H7200H5061H2015H3836H3548H2891H5061H2889

On Boils

18"When someone is infected with a boil, but after it's healed,H1320H3588H5785H7822H749519in place of the boil there remains a white swelling or a bright, white-reddish spot, he is to present himself to the priest.H4725H7822H3836H7613H934H3836H125H7200H354820When the priest undertakes his examination and finds that it appears more extensive than skin deep, and that its hair has turned white, then the priest is to declare him unclean, since an infectious skin disease has flourished in the boil.H3548H7200H4758H8217H5785H8181H2015H3836H3548H2930H5061H6883H6524H782221"If the priest examines and there's no white hair in it, and it's not more extensive than skin deep, but it's dull, then the priest is to isolate him for seven days.H3548H7200H3836H8181H8217H5785H3544H3548H5462H7651H311722But if the infection has spread in the skin, then the priest is to declare him unclean. It's a skin rash.H6581H6581H5785H3548H2930H506123If the scab remains in place and doesn't spread, then it's the scab from the boil. The priest is to declare him clean."H934H5975H6581H6867H7822H3548H2891

Burn Scars

24"When a person has a burn scar in the skin that turns bright, white-reddish, or white,H1320H5785H784H4348H4241H4348H3836H934H125H383625if the priest examines it and indeed the hair has turned white with a white spot appearing more extensive than skin deep, it's an infectious skin disease with a burn scar that has spread. The priest is to declare him unclean. It's an infectious skin disease.H3548H7200H8181H934H2015H3836H4758H6013H5785H6883H6524H4348H3548H2930H5061H688326"But if the priest examines it and discovers that there's no bright area or white hair, or if he discovers that it's not more extensive than skin deep, and it's dull, then the priest is to isolate him for seven days.H3548H7200H3836H8181H934H8217H5785H3544H3548H5462H7651H311727When the priest examines it on the seventh day and finds that it has indeed spread on the skin, then the priest is to declare him unclean. It's an infectious skin disease.H3548H7200H7637H3117H6581H6581H5785H3548H2930H5061H688328"But if the bright spot remains in place, doesn't spread in the skin, and it's dull, it's the swelling of the burned area. The priest is to declare him clean, since it's the scar from a burn."H934H934H5975H6581H5785H3544H7613H4348H3548H2891H6867H4348

Rashes

29"Now when a man or a woman has a skin rash on the head or the beard,H376H802H5061H7218H220630and the priest examines the skin rash and indeed it appears more extensive than skin deep, and it's accompanied by fine, yellowish hair, the priest is to declare him unclean. The scales on the head or the beard are an infectious skin disease.H3548H7200H5061H4758H6013H5785H6669H1851H8181H3548H2930H5424H6883H7218H220631"But when the priest examines the scales of the skin rash and it doesn't appear more extensive than skin deep, and there's no black hair in it, then the priest is to isolate him for seven days.H3548H7200H5061H5424H4758H6013H5785H7838H8181H3548H5462H5061H5424H7651H311732When the priest examines the skin rash on the seventh day and finds that indeed the scab did not spread, there's no yellowish hair on it, and the scales don't appear more extensive than skin deep,H7637H3117H3548H7200H5061H5424H6581H6669H8181H5424H4758H6013H578533then he is to be shaven, but the scab is not to be shaved off. The priest is to isolate him a second time for seven days.H1548H5424H1548H3548H5462H5424H7651H3117H814534"The priest is to examine the scab on the seventh day. If, indeed, the scab hasn't spread on the skin, and it doesn't appear more extensive than skin deep, then the priest is to declare him clean. He is to wash his garments and be clean.H7637H3117H3548H7200H5424H5424H6581H5785H4758H6013H5785H3548H2891H3526H899H289135"But if the scales spread on the skin after his cleansing,H5424H6581H6581H5785H310H289336and the priest examines it and finds the scale to have spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellowish hair, since he is clean.H3548H7200H5424H6581H5785H3548H1239H6669H8181H293137If in his opinion, the scab remained the same and a black hair grew in it, then the scab has healed. He's clean. The priest is to declare him clean.H5424H5869H5975H7838H8181H6779H5424H7495H2889H3548H289138"If a man or a woman has a light or whitish spot in the skin of their body,H376H802H5785H1320H934H3836H93439when the priest examines it and finds that there is a light or dull white patch of the skin on the body, it's a harmless skin eruption that has spread on the skin. The person is clean."H3548H7200H934H5785H1320H3544H3836H933H6524H5785H2889

Baldness vs. Head Rashes

40"When a man's head becomes bare, he's bald, but he's clean.H376H3588H4803H7218H7142H288941When his head becomes bare on the side corner of his face, he has a bald forehead, but he's clean.H4803H6285H7218H6440H1371H288942But when in the baldness of his head or his forehead there develops a skin rash that's white or reddish, it's an infectious skin disease that has spread to his bald head or forehead.H7146H1372H3836H125H5061H6883H6524H7146H137243"When the priest examines it and finds that the swelling of the skin rash is white or reddish on his bald head or forehead, similar in appearance to an infectious disease in the skin of the body,H3548H7200H7613H5061H3836H125H7146H1372H6883H4758H5785H132044he's a man with an infectious skin disease. He's unclean. The priest is to declare him unclean on account of the skin rash in his head.H6879H376H2931H3548H2930H2930H5061H721845The person with the infectious skin disease is to tear his garments and loosen his hair. He is to cover his mustache and shout out, 'Unclean! Unclean!'H6879H5061H899H6533H7218H6544H5844H8222H7121H2931H293146The whole time that the skin rash infects him, he will be unclean. He is to live by himself in a home outside the encampment."H3117H5061H2930H2931H3427H910H2351H4264H4186

Infected Clothing

47"When clothing becomes infected with a contagion - whether the clothing is wool or linen -H899H5061H6883H6785H899H6593H89948in woven or knitted material, in leather or with any article containing leather,H8359H6154H6593H6785H5785H4399H578549if the contagion is greenish or reddish in the clothing, leather, woven material, knitted material, or with any article containing leather, it's a fungal infection and is to be shown to the priest.H5061H3422H125H899H5785H176H8359H6154H3627H5785H5061H6883H7200H354850"The priest is to examine the contagion and isolate the clothing for seven days.H3548H7200H5061H5462H5061H7651H311751The priest is to examine the contagion on the seventh day. If the infection has spread on the clothing, in the woven material, the knitted material, or in the leather, no matter the purpose for which the leather material had been manufactured, the contagion is a chronic fungal infection. It's unclean.H7200H5061H7637H3117H5061H6581H899H8359H6154H5785H4399H6213H5785H5061H3992H6883H293152"Incinerate the clothing, the woven material, the knitted material (whether wool or linen), or any of the leather articles on which the contagion is found, because it's a chronic fungal infection. It is to be incinerated.H8313H899H8359H6154H6785H6593H3627H5785H5061H3992H6883H8313H78453"But if the priest examines it and the infection did not spread on the clothing, either in the woven or knitted material, or on anything made of leather,H3548H7200H5061H6581H899H176H8359H176H6154H176H3627H578554then the priest is to command that they wash whatever has the contagion and then isolate it for seven days a second time.H3548H6680H3526H5061H5462H7651H3117H814555Then the priest is to examine it after the contagion has been washed. If the contagion hasn't changed in appearance, even though the contagion hasn't spread, it's unclean. Incinerate it. It's a fungal infection, especially if the infection is on its exposed side.H3548H7200H5061H310H3526H5061H2015H5869H5061H6581H2931H8313H784H6356H7146H137256"If the priest examines the item and determines that the contagion has become dull after it has been washed, tear it away from the garment, leather, woven material, or knitted material.H3548H7200H5061H3544H310H3526H7167H899H5785H8359H615457But if it recurs on the clothing, whether woven or knitted material, or on any article made of leather, it's a break out, so incinerate it with fire, wherever the contagion is found.H7200H5750H899H8359H6154H3627H5785H6524H8313H5061H78458Then the clothing, whether it is woven or knitted material, or any article made of leather that you've washed, if the contagion has been removed from them, and it's washed the second time, then it's clean.1357H899H8359H6154H3627H5785H3526H5061H5493H3526H8145H289159"This is the law concerning fungal contagions on clothing of wool or linen, whether woven or knitted material, or in any of the articles made of leather, for determining whether it is clean or unclean."H8451H5061H6883H899H6785H6593H8359H6154H3627H5785H2891H2930
