Leviticus 13

1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν, λέγων,

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

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.Καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἐν δέρματι τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ ἐν τῇ ἁφῇ μεταβάλῃ λευκὴ, καὶ ἡ ὄψις τῆς ἁφῆς ταπεινὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος τοῦ χρωτὸς, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστί· καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτόν.

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;Ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τηλαυγὴς λευκὴ ἦ ἐν τῷ δέρματι τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταπεινὴ μὴ ἦ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ αὐτοῦ οὐ μετέβαλε τρίχα λευκὴν, αὐτὴ δέ ἐστιν ἀμαυρὰ, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

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.Καὶ 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 τοδεύτερον.

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.Καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς αὐτὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ τοδεύτερον· 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.

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

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

9And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come to the priest;Καὶ ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐὰν γένηται ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ, και ἥξει πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα·

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—Καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐλὴ λευκὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ αὕτη μετέβαλε τρίχα λευκὴν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑγιοῦς τῆς σαρκὸς τῆς ζώσης ἐν τῇ οὐλῇ.

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

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, wherever the priest shall look;Ἐὰν δὲ ἀνθοῦσα ἐξανθήσῃ λέπρα ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ καλύψῃ ἡ λέπρα πᾶν τὸ δέρμα τῆς ἁφῆς ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς ἕως ποδῶν, καθʼ ὅλην τὴν ὅρασιν τοῦ ἱερέως·

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.Καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκάλυψεν ἡ λέπρα πᾶν τὸ δέρμα τοῦ χρωτός· καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν, ὅτι πᾶν μετέβαλε λευκὸν, καθαρόν ἐστι.

14But on whatever day the quick flesh shall appear on him, he shall be pronounced unclean.Καὶ ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ὀφθῇ ἐν αὐτῷ χρὼς ζῶν, μιανθήσεται.

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.Καὶ ὅψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸν χρῶτα τὸν ὑγιῆ, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ χρὼς ὁ ὑγιὴς, ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστι· λέπρα ἐστίν.

16But if the sound flesh be restored and changed to white, then shall he come to the priest;Ἐὰν δὲ ἀποκαταστῇ ὁ χρὼς ὁ ὑγιὴς, καὶ μεταβάλῃ λευκὴ, καὶ ἐλεύσεται πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα·

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

18And if the flesh should have become an ulcer in his skin, and should be healed,Καὶ σὰρξ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕλκος, καὶ ὑγιασθῇ,

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;καὶ γένηται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τοῦ ἕλκους οὐλὴ λευκὴ, ἢ τηλαυγὴς λευκαίνουσα, ἢ πυῤῥίζουσα, καὶ ὀφθήσεται τῷ ἱερεῖ·

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.Καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις ταπεινοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ αὐτῆς μετέβαλεν εἰς λευκὴν, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς, ὅτι λέπρα ἐστίν· ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν.

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-colored; then the priest shall separate him seven days.Ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ θρὶξ λευκὴ, καὶ ταπεινὸν μὴ ᾖ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος τοῦ χρωτὸς, καὶ αὐτὴ ᾖ ἀμαυρά, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

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.Ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν· ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν·

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.Ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ χώραν μείνῃ τὸ τηλαύγημα καὶ μὴ διαχέηται, οὐλὴ τοῦ ἕλκους ἐστὶ, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς.

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;Καὶ σὰρξ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ κατάκαυμα πυρὸς, καὶ γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ τὸ ὑγιασθὲν τοῦ κατακαύματος αὐγάζον τηλαυγὲς λευκὸν, ὑποπυῤῥίζον, ἢ ἔκλευκον·

25then the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the hair being white is changed to a bright color, 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.Καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς, 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 ἱερεὺς, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν.

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.Ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ· αὐγάζοντι θρὶξ λευκή, καὶ ταπεινὸν μὴ ᾖ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, αὐτὸ δὲ ἀμαυρὸν, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

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

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

29And if a man or a woman have in them a plague of leprosy in the head or the beard;Καὶ ἀνδρὶ ἢ γυναικὶ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν αὐτοῖς ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ ἢ ἐν τῷ πώγωνι·

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

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.Καὶ 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.

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;Καὶ 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·

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

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.Καὶ 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 ἔστιν κοίλη ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ πλυνάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια, καθαρὸς ἔσται.

35But if the scurf be indeed spread in the skin after he has been purified,Ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι μετὰ τὸ καθαρισθῆναι αὐτόν·

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

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

38And if a man or woman should have in the skin of their flesh spots of a bright whiteness,Καὶ ἀνδρὶ ἢ γυναικὶ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ αὐγάματα αὐγάζοντα λευκανθίζοντα·

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.καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ αὐγάσματα αὐγάζοντα λευκαθίζοντα, ἀλφός ἐστιν· ἐξανθεῖ ἐν τῷ δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, καθαρός ἐστιν.

40And if any one's head should lose the hair, he is only bald, he is clean.Ἐὰν δέ τινι μαδήσῃ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ, φαλακρός ἐστι, καθαρός ἐστιν.

41And if his head should lose the hair in front, he is forehead bald: he is clean.Ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ πρόσωπον μαδήσῃ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ, ἀναφάλαντός ἐστι, καθαρός ἐστιν.

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.Ἐὰν δὲ γένηται ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ ἁφὴ λευκὴ ἢ πυῤῥίζουσα, λέπρα ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοὺ, ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ·

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,καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις τῆς ἁφῆς λευκὴ ἢ πυῤῥίζουσα ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ, ὡς ωἶδος λέπρας ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ·

44he is a leprous man: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean, his plague is in his head.Ἄνθρωπος λεπρός ἐστι· μιάνσει μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς, ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφὴ αὐτοῦ.

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

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.Πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ὅσας ἐὰν ᾖ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἡ ἁφὴ, ἀκάθαρτος ὢν ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται· κεχωρισμένος καθήσεται, ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἡ διατριβή.

47And if a garment have in it the plague of leprosy, a garment of wool, or a garment of flax,Καὶ ἱματίῳ ἐὰν γένηται ἁφὴ ἐν αὐτῷ λέπρας, ἐν ἱματίῳ ἐρέῳ, ἢ ἐν ἱματίῳ στυππυίνῳ,

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

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.καὶ γένηται ἡ ἁφὴ χλωρίζουσα ἢ πυῤῥίζουσα 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·

50And the priest shall look upon the plague, and the priest shall set apart that which has the plague seven days.Καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

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 whatever things skins may be used in their workmanship, the plague is a confirmed leprosy; it is unclean.Καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν 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 ἐργασίᾳ, λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν ἡ ἁφὴ, ἀκάθαρτός ἐστι.

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.Κατακαύσει 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 ἁφὴ, ὅτι λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν, ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται.

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,Ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ μὴ διαχέηται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ·

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.Καὶ συντάξει ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ πλυνεῖ ἐφʼ οὗ ἐὰν ᾖ ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφὴ, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τοδέυτερον.

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.Καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς μετὰ τὸ πλυθῆναι αὐτὸ τὴν ἁφὴν, 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 κρόκη.

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.Καὶ ἐὰν ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ᾖ ἀμαυρὰ ἡ ἁφὴ μετὰ τὸ πλυθήναι αὐτὸ, ἀποῤῥήξει αὐτὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱματίου, ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ στήμονος, ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς κρόκης, ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος.

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.Ἐὰν 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.

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.Καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον, ἢ ὁ στήμων, ἢ ἡ κρόκη, ἢ πᾶν σκεῦος δερμάτινον, ὃ πλυθήσεται, καὶ ἀποστήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφὴ, καὶ πλυθήσεται τὸ δέυτερον, καὶ καθαρὸν ἔσται.

59This is the law of the plague of leprosy of a woollen or linen garment, either of the warp, or woof, or any leather article, to pronounce it clean or unclean.Οὗτος ὁ νόμος ἁφῆς λέπρας ἱματίου ἐρέου, ἢ στυππυίνου, ἢ στήμονος, ἢ κρόκης, ἢ παντὸς σκεύους δερματίνου, εἰς τὸ καθαρίσαι αὐτὸ, ἢ μιᾶναι αὐτό.
