“If anyone has a swelling or a rash or discolored skin that might develop into a serious skin disease,*13:2a Traditionally rendered leprosy. The Hebrew word used throughout this passage is used to describe various skin diseases. that person must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons.*13:2b Or one of his descendants.
Lev 13:3
The priest will examine the affected area of the skin. If the hair in the affected area has turned white and the problem appears to be more than skin-deep, it is a serious skin disease, and the priest who examines it must pronounce the person ceremonially unclean.
Lev 13:4
“But if the affected area of the skin is only a white discoloration and does not appear to be more than skin-deep, and if the hair on the spot has not turned white, the priest will quarantine the person for seven days.

On the seventh day the priest will make another examination. If he finds the affected area has not changed and the problem has not spread on the skin, the priest will quarantine the person for seven more days.
Lev 13:6
On the seventh day the priest will make another examination. If he finds the affected area has faded and has not spread, the priest will pronounce the person ceremonially clean. It was only a rash. The person’s clothing must be washed, and the person will be ceremonially clean.
Lev 13:7
But if the rash continues to spread after the person has been examined by the priest and has been pronounced clean, the infected person must return to be examined again.
Lev 13:8
If the priest finds that the rash has spread, he must pronounce the person ceremonially unclean, for it is indeed a skin disease.
Lev 13:11
it is a chronic skin disease, and the priest must pronounce the person ceremonially unclean. In such cases the person need not be quarantined, for it is obvious that the skin is defiled by the disease.
Lev 13:12
“Now suppose the disease has spread all over the person’s skin, covering the body from head to foot.
Lev 13:13
When the priest examines the infected person and finds that the disease covers the entire body, he will pronounce the person ceremonially clean. Since the skin has turned completely white, the person is clean.
Lev 13:14
But if any open sores appear, the infected person will be pronounced ceremonially unclean.
Lev 13:16
However, if the open sores heal and turn white like the rest of the skin, the person must return to the priest
Lev 13:17
for another examination. If the affected areas have indeed turned white, the priest will then pronounce the person ceremonially clean by declaring, ‘You are clean!’

Lev 13:22
If during that time the affected area spreads on the skin, the priest must pronounce the person ceremonially unclean, because it is a serious disease.

But if the area grows no larger and does not spread, it is merely the scar from the boil, and the priest will pronounce the person ceremonially clean.
Lev 13:25
the priest must examine it. If he finds that the hair in the affected area has turned white and the problem appears to be more than skin-deep, a skin disease has broken out in the burn. The priest must then pronounce the person ceremonially unclean, for it is clearly a serious skin disease.
Lev 13:26
But if the priest finds no white hair on the affected area and the problem appears to be no more than skin-deep and has faded, the priest must quarantine the infected person for seven days.
Lev 13:27
On the seventh day the priest must examine the person again. If the affected area has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce that person ceremonially unclean, for it is clearly a serious skin disease.
Lev 13:28
But if the affected area has not changed or spread on the skin and has faded, it is simply a swelling from the burn. The priest will then pronounce the person ceremonially clean, for it is only the scar from the burn.
Lev 13:30
the priest must examine it. If he finds it is more than skin-deep and has fine yellow hair on it, the priest must pronounce the person ceremonially unclean. It is a scabby sore of the head or chin.
Lev 13:31
If the priest examines the scabby sore and finds that it is only skin-deep but there is no black hair on it, he must quarantine the person for seven days.
Lev 13:33
the person must shave off all hair except the hair on the affected area. Then the priest must quarantine the person for another seven days.
Lev 13:34
On the seventh day he will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and appears to be no more than skin-deep, the priest will pronounce the person ceremonially clean. The person’s clothing must be washed, and the person will be ceremonially clean.
Lev 13:35
But if the scabby sore begins to spread after the person is pronounced clean,
Lev 13:36
the priest must do another examination. If he finds that the sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair. The infected person is ceremonially unclean.
Lev 13:37
But if the color of the scabby sore does not change and black hair has grown on it, it has healed. The priest will then pronounce the person ceremonially clean.
Lev 13:39
the priest must examine the affected area. If he finds that the shiny patches are only pale white, this is a harmless skin rash, and the person is ceremonially clean.
Lev 14:7
The priest will then sprinkle the blood of the dead bird seven times on the person being purified of the skin disease. When the priest has purified the person, he will release the live bird in the open field to fly away.

Lev 14:11
Then the officiating priest will present that person for purification, along with the offerings, before the Lord at the entrance of the Tabernacle.*14:11 Hebrew Tent of Meeting; also in 14:23.
Lev 14:14
The priest will then take some of the blood of the guilt offering and apply it to the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.
Lev 14:17
The priest will then apply some of the oil in his palm over the blood from the guilt offering that is on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.
Lev 14:18

Lev 14:19
“Then the priest must present the sin offering to purify the person who was cured of the skin disease. After that, the priest will slaughter the burnt offering
Lev 14:20
and offer it on the altar along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person who was healed, and the person will be ceremonially clean.
Lev 14:21
“But anyone who is too poor and cannot afford these offerings may bring one male lamb for a guilt offering, to be lifted up as a special offering for purification. The person must also bring two quarts*14:21 Hebrew 1/10 of an ephah [2.2 liters]. of choice flour moistened with olive oil for the grain offering and a cup of olive oil.
Lev 14:22
The offering must also include two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. One of the pair must be used for the sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
Lev 14:23
On the eighth day of the purification ceremony, the person being purified must bring the offerings to the priest in the Lord’s presence at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
Lev 14:25
Then the priest will slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering. He will take some of its blood and apply it to the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.
Lev 14:28
The priest will then apply some of the oil in his palm over the blood from the guilt offering that is on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.

Lev 14:31
One of them is for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to be presented along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the Lord.
Lev 14:57
This procedure will determine whether a person or object is ceremonially clean or unclean. “These are the instructions regarding skin diseases and mildew.”
Lev 17:4
instead of bringing it to the entrance of the Tabernacle*17:4a Hebrew Tent of Meeting; also in 17:5, 6, 9. to present it as an offering to the Lord, that person will be as guilty as a murderer.*17:4b Hebrew will be guilty of blood.

“Whoever kills an animal must pay for it in full, but whoever kills another person must be put to death.
Lev 25:16

Lev 25:50

Num 16:40
This would warn the Israelites that no unauthorized person—no one who was not a descendant of Aaron—should ever enter the Lord’s presence to burn incense. If anyone did, the same thing would happen to him as happened to Korah and his followers. So the Lord’s instructions to Moses were carried out.
