1And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body an infection of skin disease, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests.

3And the priest shall examine the diseased spot on the skin of the body, and if the hair in the spot has turned white and the appearance of the spot is deeper than the skin of his body, it is a diseased spot of skin disease; when the priest has examined him, he shall pronounce him unclean.
