El SEÑOR habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo: 2 Cuando un hombre tenga en la piel de su cuerpo¹ hinchazón, o erupción, o mancha blanca lustrosa, y se convierta en infección² de lepra en la piel de su cuerpo, será traído al sacerdote Aarón o a uno de sus hijos, los sacerdotes^a. 3 Y el sacerdote mirará la infección en la piel del cuerpo; y si el pelo en la infección se ha vuelto blanco, y la infección parece más profunda que la piel de su cuerpo, es una infección de lepra; cuando el sacerdote lo haya examinado lo declarará inmundo. 4 Pero si la mancha lustrosa es blanca en la piel de su cuerpo, y no parece ser¹ más profunda que la piel, y el pelo en ella no se ha vuelto blanco, entonces el sacerdote aislará² por siete días al que tiene la infección. 5 Al séptimo día el sacerdote lo examinará, y si en su parecer la infección no ha cambiado¹, y si la infección no se ha extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo aislará por otros siete días. 6 El sacerdote lo examinará de nuevo al séptimo día; y si la infección ha oscurecido, y la infección no se ha extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará limpio; essolo una postilla. Y lavará sus vestidos^a y quedará limpio.

7 Pero si la postilla se extiende en la piel después que él se haya mostrado al sacerdote para su purificación, volverá a presentarse al sacerdote. 8 Y el sacerdote lo examinará, y si la postilla se ha extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; es lepra.

9 Cuando haya infección de lepra en un hombre, será traído al sacerdote. 10 Entonces el sacerdote lo examinará, y si hay hinchazón blanca en la piel^a, y el pelo se ha vuelto blanco¹, y hay carne viva en la hinchazón, 11 es lepra crónica¹ en la piel de su cuerpo, y el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; no lo aislará, porque es inmundo. 12 Y si la lepra brota y se extiende en la piel, y la lepra cubre toda la piel del que tenía la infección, desde su cabeza hasta sus pies, hasta donde pueda ver el sacerdote¹, 13 entonces el sacerdote mirará, y he aquí, si la lepra ha cubierto todo su cuerpo, declarará limpio al que tenía la infección; se ha vuelto toda blanca y él es limpio. 14 Pero cuando aparezca en él carne viva, será inmundo. 15 Y el sacerdote mirará la carne viva, y lo declarará inmundo; la carne viva es inmunda, es lepra. 16 Mas si la carne viva cambia nuevamente y se vuelve blanca, entonces vendrá al sacerdote^a, 17 y el sacerdote lo mirará, y he aquí, si la infección se ha vuelto blanca, el sacerdote declarará limpio al que tenía la infección; limpio es.

18 Cuando el cuerpo tenga una úlcera¹ en su piel, y se sane, 19 y en el lugar de la úlcera¹ haya hinchazón blanca, o una mancha lustrosa, blanca rojiza, será mostrada al sacerdote, 20 y el sacerdote la examinará, y he aquí, si parece estar a un nivel más bajo¹ que la piel y su pelo se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; es infección de lepra, ha brotado en la úlcera². 21 Pero si el sacerdote la examina, y he aquí, no hay pelos blancos en ella, y no está a nivel más bajo que la piel y se ha oscurecido, el sacerdote lo aislará por siete días; 22 y si se extiende en la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo: es infección. 23 Pero si la mancha lustrosa permanece en su lugar y no se extiende, essolo la cicatriz de la úlcera¹; el sacerdote lo declarará limpio.

24 Asimismo, si el cuerpo sufre en su piel una quemadura de fuego, y la carne viva de la quemadura se vuelve una mancha lustrosa, blanca rojiza osolo blanca, 25 entonces el sacerdote la examinará. Y si el pelo en la mancha lustrosa se ha vuelto blanco, y la mancha parece estar más profunda que la piel, es lepra^a; ha brotado en la quemadura. Por tanto, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; es infección de lepra. 26 Pero si el sacerdote la examina, y he aquí, no hay pelo blanco en la mancha lustrosa y no está más profunda que la piel, pero está oscura, entonces el sacerdote lo aislará por siete días. 27 Al séptimo día el sacerdote lo examinará. Si se ha extendido¹ en la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; es infección de lepra. 28 Pero si la mancha lustrosa permanece en su lugar y no se ha extendido en la piel, sino que está oscura, es la hinchazón de la quemadura; y el sacerdote lo declarará limpio, pues essolo la cicatriz de la quemadura.

29 Si un hombre o una mujer tiene una infección en la cabeza o en la barba, 30 el sacerdote le examinará la infección, y si parece estar más profunda que la piel y hay en ella pelo fino¹ amarillento, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; es tiña, es lepra de la cabeza o de la barba. 31 Pero si el sacerdote examina la infección de la tiña, y he aquí, no parece ser más profunda que la piel y no hay en ella pelo negro, el sacerdote aislará por siete días a la persona con la infección de la tiña. 32 Al séptimo día el sacerdote examinará la infección, y si la tiña no se ha extendido, ni ha crecido¹ en ella pelo amarillento, ni la tiña parece ser más profunda que la piel, 33 entonces se rasurará, pero no rasurará la parte con tiña; y el sacerdote aislará al que tiene la tiña por otros siete días. 34 Al séptimo día el sacerdote examinará la tiña, y siesta¹ no se ha extendido en la piel y no parece estar más profunda que la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará limpio; entonces lavará sus vestidos y quedará limpio. 35 Pero si la tiña se extiende en la piel después de su purificación, 36 el sacerdote lo examinará, y si la tiña se ha extendido en la piel, el sacerdote no tiene que buscar pelo amarillento; es inmundo. 37 Mas si en su parecer la tiña ha permanecido igual y ha crecido pelo negro en ella, la tiña ha sanado; es limpio, y el sacerdote lo declarará limpio.

38 Cuando un hombre o una mujer tenga manchas lustrosas en la piel de su cuerpo, manchas blancas lustrosas, 39 el sacerdote las examinará, y si las manchas lustrosas en la piel de su cuerpo son de color blanquecino, es eczema¹ que ha brotado en la piel; la persona es limpia.

40 Si un hombre pierde el pelo de la cabeza¹, es calvo^a, pero limpio. 41 Y si su cabeza pierde el pelo¹ por delante y por los lados², es calvo en la frente; es limpio. 42 Pero si en la calva de la cabeza o de la frente aparece una infección blanca rojiza, es lepra que brota en la calva de su cabeza o en la calva de su frente. 43 Entonces el sacerdote lo examinará^a; y si la hinchazón de la infección es blanca rojiza en la calva de la cabeza o en la calva de la frente, como la apariencia de la lepra en la piel del cuerpo, 44 es un leproso, es inmundo. El sacerdote ciertamente lo declarará inmundo; su infección está en su cabeza.

45 En cuanto al leproso que tenga la infección, sus vestidos estarán rasgados, el cabello de su cabeza estará descubierto^1a, se cubrirá el bozo^b y gritará: ¡Inmundo, inmundo^c! 46 Permanecerá inmundo todos los días que tenga la infección; es inmundo. Vivirá solo; su morada estará fuera del campamento^a. 47 Cuando un vestido tenga una marca de lepra, sea un vestido de lana o de lino, 48 sea en la urdimbre¹ o en la trama, de lino o de lana, en cuero o en cualquier artículo hecho de cuero, 49 si la marca en el vestido o en el cuero, en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier artículo de cuero, es verdosa o rojiza, es marca de lepra y le será mostrada al sacerdote. 50 Entonces el sacerdote examinará la marca^a, y aislará el artículo con marca por siete días. 51 Al séptimo día examinará la marca; si la marca se ha extendido en el vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en el cuero, cualquiera que sea el uso que se le dé al cuero, la marca es una lepra maligna, es inmunda. 52 Quemará, pues, el vestido, ya sea la urdimbre o la trama, en lana o en lino, o cualquier artículo de cuero en el cual aparezca¹ la marca, porque es una lepra maligna; en el fuego será quemado.

53 Pero si el sacerdote la examina, y la marca no se ha extendido en el vestido, en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier artículo de cuero, 54 entonces el sacerdote les ordenará lavar aquello donde aparezca la marca, y lo aislará por otros siete días. 55 Después que el artículo con la marca haya sido lavado, el sacerdote lo examinará otra vez, y si la marca no ha cambiado de¹ aspecto, aun cuando la marca no se haya extendido, es inmundo; en el fuego lo quemarás, ya sea que la corrosión lo haya raído por el derecho o el revés².

56 Entonces el sacerdote lo examinará, y si la marca se ha oscurecido después de haber sido lavada, la arrancará del vestido o del cuero, sea de la urdimbre o de la trama; 57 y si aparece otra vez en el vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier artículo de cuero, es una erupción; el artículo con la marca será quemado en el fuego. 58 El vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o cualquier artículo de cuero del cual se haya quitado la marca después de haberlo lavado¹, será lavado por segunda vez y quedará limpio.

59 Esta es la ley para la marca de lepra en un vestido de lana o de lino, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier artículo de cuero, para declararlo limpio o inmundo.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 “When someone has on the skin of his ¹body a swelling, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes an infection of ²leprosy on the skin of his ³body, ^athen he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 3 The priest shall look at the infected area on the skin of the ¹body, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his ²body, it is an infection of leprosy; when the priest has looked at him, he shall pronounce him unclean. 4 But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his ¹body, and ²it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has not turned white, then the priest shall ³isolate the person who has the infection for seven days. 5 Then the priest shall look at him on the seventh day, and if in his eyes the infection has ¹not changed and the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall ²isolate him for seven more days. 6 The priest shall then look at him again on the seventh day, and if the infected area has faded and the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a rash. And he shall ^awash his clothes and be clean.

7 “But if the rash spreads farther on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall appear again to the priest. 8 And the priest shall look, and if the rash has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.

9 “When the infection of leprosy is on someone, then he shall be brought to the priest. 10 The priest shall then look, and if there is a ^awhite swelling on the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is new raw flesh in the swelling, 11 it is ¹a chronic leprosy on the skin of his ²body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not ³isolate him, for he is unclean. 12 If the leprosy breaks out farther on the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the person who has the infection from his head even to his feet, ¹as far as the priest can see, 13 then the priest shall look, and behold, if the leprosy has covered his entire ¹body, he shall pronounce the one who has the infection clean; it has all turned white and he is clean. 14 But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean. 15 The priest shall look at the raw flesh, and he shall pronounce him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh turns back and is changed to white, then he shall ^acome to the priest, 17 and the priest shall look at him, and behold, if the infected area has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the one who has the infection clean; he is clean.

18 “Now when the ¹body has a boil on its skin and it is healed, 19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a reddish-white, bright spot, then it shall be shown to the priest; 20 and the priest shall look, and behold, if ¹it appears to be deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the infection of leprosy, it has broken out in the boil. 21 But if the priest looks at it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it and it is not deeper than the skin and is faded, then the priest shall ¹isolate him for seven days; 22 and if it spreads farther on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infection. 23 But if the bright spot remains in its place and does not spread, it is only the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 “Or if the ¹body sustains in its skin a burn by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white, 25 then the priest shall look at it. And if the hair in the bright spot has ^aturned white and it appears to be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy; it has broken out in the burn. Therefore, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infection of leprosy. 26 But if the priest looks at it, and indeed, there is no white hair in the bright spot and it is no deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall ¹isolate him for seven days; 27 and the priest shall look at him on the seventh day. If it spreads farther in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infection of leprosy. 28 But if the bright spot remains in its place and has not spread in the skin, but is dim, it is the swelling from the burn; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is only the scar of the burn.

29 “Now if a man or woman has an infection on the head or on the beard, 30 then the priest shall look at the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and there is thin yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scale, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. 31 But if the priest looks at the infection of the scale, and indeed, it appears to be no deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall ¹isolate the person with the scaly infection for seven days. 32 And on the seventh day the priest shall look at the infection, and if the scale has not spread and no yellowish hair has ¹grown in it, and the appearance of the scale is no deeper than the skin, 33 then he shall shave himself, but he shall not shave the scale; and the priest shall ¹isolate the person with the scale for seven more days. 34 Then on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scale, and if the scale has not spread in the skin and it appears to be no deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean. 35 But if the scale spreads farther in the skin after his cleansing, 36 then the priest shall look at him, and if the scale has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for the yellowish hair; he is unclean. 37 If in his sight the scale has remained, however, and black hair has grown in it, the scale has healed, and he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of the ¹body, white bright spots, 39 then the priest shall look, and if the bright spots on the skin of their ¹bodies are a faint white, it is ²eczema that has broken out on the skin; he is clean.

40 “Now if a man ¹loses the hair of his head, he is only ^abald; he is clean. 41 And if his head becomes bald at the ¹front and sides, he is bald on the forehead; he is clean. 42 But if on the bald head or the bald forehead there occurs a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or on his bald forehead. 43 Then ^athe priest shall look at him; and if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the ¹body, 44 he is a leprous man, he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean; his infection is on his head.

45 “As for the person who has the leprous infection, his clothes shall be torn and ^athe hair of his head shall be ¹uncovered, and he shall ^bcover his ²mustache and call out, ‘^cUnclean! Unclean!’ 46 He shall remain unclean all the days during which he has the infection; he is unclean. He shall live alone; he shall live ^aoutside the camp.

47 “When a garment has ¹a mark of leprosy in it, whether it is a wool garment or a linen garment, 48 whether in ¹warp or ²woof, of linen or of wool, whether in leather or in any article made of leather, 49 if the ¹mark is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, whether in the ²warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, it is a leprous ³mark and it shall be shown to the priest. 50 Then ^athe priest shall look at the mark and shall ¹quarantine the article with the mark for seven days. 51 He shall then look at the mark on the seventh day; if the mark has spread in the garment, whether in the ¹warp or in the woof, or in the leather, whatever the purpose for which the leather is used, the mark is a ²leprous malignancy, it is unclean. 52 So he shall burn the garment, whether it is the ¹warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any article of leather, in which the mark occurs; for it is a ²leprous malignancy. It shall be burned in the fire.

53 “But if the priest looks, and indeed the mark has not spread in the garment, either in the ¹warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, 54 then the priest shall order them to wash the thing in which the mark occurs, and he shall ¹quarantine it for seven more days. 55 After the article with the mark has been washed, the priest shall again look, and if the mark has not changed its appearance, even if the mark has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire, whether an eating away has produced bareness on the back or on the front of it.

56 “But if the priest looks, and indeed the mark has faded after it has been washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment or out of the leather, whether from the ¹warp or from the woof; 57 yet if it appears again in the garment, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, it is an outbreak; the article with the mark shall be burned in the fire. 58 But the garment, whether the warp or the woof, or any article of leather from which the mark has disappeared when you washed it, shall then be washed a second time and will be clean.”

59 This is the law for the mark of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 “When a man has on the skin of his ¹body a swelling or a scab or a bright spot, and it becomes ²an infection of leprosy on the skin of his ³body, ^athen he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 3 The priest shall look at the mark on the skin of the ¹body, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his ²body, it is an infection of leprosy; when the priest has looked at him, he shall pronounce him unclean. 4 But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his ¹body, and ²it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair on it has not turned white, then the priest shall ³isolate him who has the infection for seven days. 5 The priest shall look at him on the seventh day, and if in his eyes the infection ¹has not changed and the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall ²isolate him for seven more days. 6 The priest shall look at him again on the seventh day, and if the infection has faded and the mark has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a scab. And he shall ^awash his clothes and be clean.

7 “But if the scab spreads farther on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall appear again to the priest. 8 The priest shall look, and if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is leprosy.

9 “When the infection of leprosy is on a man, then he shall be brought to the priest. 10 The priest shall then look, and if there is a ^awhite swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is quick raw flesh in the swelling, 11 it is ¹a chronic leprosy on the skin of his ²body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not ³isolate him, for he is unclean. 12 If the leprosy breaks out farther on the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of him who has the infection from his head even to his feet, ¹as far as the priest can see, 13 then the priest shall look, and behold, if the leprosy has covered all his ¹body, he shall pronounce clean him who has the infection; it has all turned white and he is clean. 14 But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean. 15 The priest shall look at the raw flesh, and he shall pronounce him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh turns again and is changed to white, then he shall ^acome to the priest, 17 and the priest shall look at him, and behold, if the infection has turned to white, then the priest shall pronounce clean him who has the infection; he is clean.

18 “When the ¹body has a boil on its skin and it is healed, 19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a reddish-white, bright spot, then it shall be shown to the priest; 20 and the priest shall look, and behold, if ¹it appears to be lower than the skin, and the hair on it has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is the infection of leprosy, it has broken out in the boil. 21 But if the priest looks at it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it and it is not lower than the skin and is faded, then the priest shall ¹isolate him for seven days; 22 and if it spreads farther on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infection. 23 But if the bright spot remains in its place and does not spread, it is only the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 “Or if the ¹body sustains in its skin a burn by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white, 25 then the priest shall look at it. And if the hair in the bright spot has ^aturned white and it appears to be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy; it has broken out in the burn. Therefore, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infection of leprosy. 26 But if the priest looks at it, and indeed, there is no white hair in the bright spot and it is no ¹deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall ²isolate him for seven days; 27 and the priest shall look at him on the seventh day. If it spreads farther in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infection of leprosy. 28 But if the bright spot remains in its place and has not spread in the skin, but is dim, it is the swelling from the burn; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is only the scar of the burn.

29 “Now if a man or woman has an infection on the head or on the beard, 30 then the priest shall look at the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and there is thin yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scale, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. 31 But if the priest looks at the infection of the scale, and indeed, it appears to be no deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall ¹isolate the person with the scaly infection for seven days. 32 On the seventh day the priest shall look at the infection, and if the scale has not spread and no yellowish hair has ¹grown in it, and the appearance of the scale is no deeper than the skin, 33 then he shall shave himself, but he shall not shave the scale; and the priest shall ¹isolate the person with the scale seven more days. 34 Then on the seventh day the priest shall look at the scale, and if the scale has not spread in the skin and it appears to be no deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean. 35 But if the scale spreads farther in the skin after his cleansing, 36 then the priest shall look at him, and if the scale has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellowish hair; he is unclean. 37 If in his sight the scale has remained, however, and black hair has grown in it, the scale has healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of the ¹body, even white bright spots, 39 then the priest shall look, and if the bright spots on the skin of their ¹bodies are a faint white, it is ²eczema that has broken out on the skin; he is clean.

40 “Now if a ¹man loses the hair of his head, he is ^abald; he is clean. 41 If his head becomes bald at the ¹front and sides, he is bald on the forehead; he is clean. 42 But if on the bald head or the bald forehead, there occurs a reddish-white infection, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or on his bald forehead. 43 Then ^athe priest shall look at him; and if the swelling of the infection is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the ¹body, 44 he is a leprous man, he is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his infection is on his head.

45 “As for the leper who has the infection, his clothes shall be torn, and ^athe hair of his head shall be ¹uncovered, and he shall ^bcover his mustache and cry, ‘^cUnclean! Unclean!’ 46 He shall remain unclean all the days during which he has the infection; he is unclean. He shall live alone; his dwelling shall be ^aoutside the camp.

47 “When a garment has a ¹mark of leprosy in it, whether it is a wool garment or a linen garment, 48 whether in ¹warp or woof, of linen or of wool, whether in leather or in any article made of leather, 49 if the mark is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, or in the ¹warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, it is a leprous mark and shall be shown to the priest. 50 Then ^athe priest shall look at the mark and shall ¹quarantine the article with the mark for seven days. 51 He shall then look at the mark on the seventh day; if the mark has spread in the garment, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in the leather, whatever the purpose for which the leather is used, the mark is a ¹leprous malignancy, it is unclean. 52 So he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any article of leather in which the mark occurs, for it is a ¹leprous malignancy; it shall be burned in the fire.

53 “But if the priest shall look, and indeed the mark has not spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, 54 then the priest shall order them to wash the thing in which the mark occurs and he shall ¹quarantine it for seven more days. 55 After the article with the mark has been washed, the priest shall again look, and if the mark has not changed its appearance, even though the mark has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire, whether an eating away has produced bareness on the top or on the front of it.

56 “Then if the priest looks, and if the mark has faded after it has been washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment or out of the leather, whether from the warp or from the woof; 57 and if it appears again in the garment, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, it is an outbreak; the article with the mark shall be burned in the fire. 58 The garment, whether the warp or the woof, or any article of leather from which the mark has departed when you washed it, it shall then be washed a second time and will be clean.”

59 This is the law for the mark of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.
