JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens:
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
2Homo, in cujus cute et carne ortus fuerit diversus color, sive pustula, aut quasi lucens quippiam, id est, plaga lepræ, adducetur ad Aaron sacerdotem, vel ad unum quemlibet filiorum ejus.
2When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests.
3Qui cum viderit lepram in cute, et pilos in album mutatos colorem, ipsamque speciem lepræ humiliorem cute et carne reliqua: plaga lepræ est, et ad arbitrium ejus separabitur.
3And the priest shall look upon the plague in the skin of the flesh; and if the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
4Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute, nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus:
4And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days.
5et considerabit die septimo: et si quidem lepra ultra non creverit, nec transierit in cute priores terminos, rursum recludet eum septem diebus aliis.
5And the priest shall look on him the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague stay in its appearance, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more.
6Et die septimo contemplabitur: si obscurior fuerit lepra, et non creverit in cute, mundabit eum, quia scabies est: lavabitque homo vestimenta sua, et mundus erit.
6And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be dim, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab; and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
7Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiæ, iterum lepra creverit: adducetur ad eum,
7But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
8et immunditiæ condemnabitur.
8And the priest shall look, and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.
9Plaga lepræ si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,
9When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest.
10et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit:
10And the priest shall look, and, behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising,
11lepra vetustissima judicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuæ immunditiæ est.
11it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not shut him up; for he is unclean.
12Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute, et operuerit omnem cutem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectum oculorum cadit,
12And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appeareth to the priest;
13considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima judicabit: eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.
13then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague; it is all turned white: he is clean.
14Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,
14But whensoever raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
15tunc sacerdotis judicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur: caro enim viva, si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.
15And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean: it is leprosy.
16Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,
16But if the raw flesh again be turned into white, then he shall come unto the priest;
17considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.
17and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
18Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est, et sanatum,
18And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and it is healed,
19et in loco ulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem.
19and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.
20Qui cum viderit locum lepræ humiliorem carne reliqua, et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum: plaga enim lepræ orta est in ulcere.
20And the priest shall look; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy, it hath broken out in the boil.
21Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus:
21But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin, but be dim, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.
22et si quidem creverit, adjudicabit eum lepræ;
22And if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
23sin autem steterit in loco suo, ulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.
23But if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,
24Or when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by fire, and the quick flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white;
25considerabit eam sacerdos: et ecce versa est in alborem, et locus ejus reliqua cute est humilior, contaminabit eum, quia plaga lepræ in cicatrice orta est.
25then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
26Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior plaga carne reliqua, et ipsa lepræ species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus,
26But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days.
27et die septimo contemplabitur: si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.
27And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day; if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
28Sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturæ.
28And if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread in the skin, but be dim, it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the burning.
29Vir, sive mulier, in cujus capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos.
29And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the beard,
30Et si quidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus, solitoque subtilior, contaminabit eos, quia lepra capitis ac barbæ est.
30then the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
31Sin autem viderit locum maculæ æqualem vicinæ carni, et capillum nigrum: recludet eum septem diebus,
31And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days.
32et die septimo intuebitur. Si non creverit macula, et capillus sui coloris est, et locus plagæ carni reliquæ æqualis:
32And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin,
33radetur homo absque loco maculæ, et includetur septem diebus aliis.
33then he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more.
34Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo, nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum: lotisque vestibus suis, mundus erit.
34And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall; and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
35Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,
35But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing,
36non quæret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit immutatus, quia aperte immundus est.
36then the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair: he is unclean.
37Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronuntiet mundum.
37But if the scall stay in its appearance, and black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38Vir, sive mulier, in cujus cute candor apparuerit,
38And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
39intuebitur eos sacerdos. Si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat non esse lepram, sed maculam coloris candidi, et hominem mundum.
39then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of a dull white, it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin: he is clean.
40Vir, de cujus capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est:
40And if a man's hair be fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
41et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.
41And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead-bald; yet is he clean.
42Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,
42But if there be in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
43et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiæ lepræ, quæ orta est in calvitio.
43Then the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague be reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,
44Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,
44he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean: his plague is in his head.
45habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.
45And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry: 'Unclean, unclean.'
46Omni tempore quo leprosus est et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.
46All the days wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean; he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his dwelling be.
47Vestis lanea sive linea, quæ lepram habuerit,
47And when the plague of leprosy is in a garment, whether it be a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
48in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,
48or in the warp, or in the woof, whether they be of linen, or of wool; or in a skin, or in any thing made of skin.
49si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti:
49If the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown unto the priest.
50qui consideratam recludet septem diebus:
50And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up that which hath the plague seven days.
51et die septimo rursus aspiciens, si deprehenderit crevisse, lepra perseverans est: pollutum judicabit vestimentum, et omne in quo fuerit inventa:
51And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever service skin is used for, the plague is a malignant leprosy: it is unclean.
52et idcirco comburetur flammis.
52And he shall burn the garment, or the warp, or the woof, whether it be of wool or of linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is; for it is a malignant leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
53Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,
53And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
54præcipiet, et lavabunt id in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.
54then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more.
55Et cum viderit faciem quidem pristinam non reversam, nec tamen crevisse lepram, immundum judicabit, et igne comburet, eo quod infusa sit in superficie vestimenti, vel per totum, lepra.
55And the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague have not changed its colour, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without.
56Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus lepræ, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.
56And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after the washing thereof, then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof.
57Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quæ prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga, debet igne comburi.
57And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is breaking out, thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
58Si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quæ pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.
58And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
59Ista est lex lepræ vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis, atque subtegminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceæ, quomodo mundari debeat, vel contaminari.
59This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
