1. Laws about Skin Diseases

   (Numbers 5:1–4)

2. 1ENGOJBAnd Hashem spoke unto Moshe and Aharon, saying,BSBBSB: Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
3. 2ENGOJBWhen a man shall have in the skin of his basar a swelling, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his basar like the nega tzara'at; then he shall be brought unto Aharon the kohen, or unto one of his Banim the kohanim;BSBBSB: “When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that may be an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.
4. 3ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall examine the nega in the skin of the basar; and when hair in the nega is turned white, and the nega in appearance be deeper than the skin of his basar, it is a nega tzara'at; and the kohen shall examine him, and pronounce him tamei.BSBBSB: The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.
5. 4ENGOJBIf the bright spot be white in the skin of his basar, and in appearance be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the kohen shall quarantine him that hath the nega shivat yamim;BSBBSB: If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
6. 5ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall examine him on the yom hashevi'i; and, hinei, if the nega in his sight be unchanged, and the nega spread not in the skin; then the kohen shall quarantine him another shivat yamim;BSBBSB: On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days.
7. 6ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall examine him again on the yom hashevi'i; and, hinei, if the nega be somewhat faded, and the nega spread not in the skin, the kohen shall pronounce him tahor; it is but a scab; and he shall wash his clothes, and be tahor.BSBBSB: The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.
8. 7ENGOJBBut if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath shown himself to the kohen for his tohorah, he shall appear before the kohen again.BSBBSB: But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.
9. 8ENGOJBAnd if the kohen see that, hinei, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a tzara'at.BSBBSB: The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.
10. 9ENGOJBWhen the nega tzara'at is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the kohen;BSBBSB: When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
11. 10ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall examine him; and, hinei, if the swelling be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be raw basar in the swelling;BSBBSB: The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
12. 11ENGOJBIt is an old tzara'at in the skin of his basar, and the kohen shall pronounce him tamei, and shall not quarantine him; for he is tamei.BSBBSB: it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.
13. 12ENGOJBAnd if a tzara'at break out abroad in the skin, and the tzara'at cover all the skin of him that hath the nega from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the kohen looketh,BSBBSB: But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see,
14. 13ENGOJBThen the kohen shall consider; and, hinei, if the tzara'at have covered all his basar, he shall pronounce him tahor that hath the nega; it is all turned white; he is tahor.BSBBSB: the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.
15. 14ENGOJBBut on the day when raw basar appeareth in him, he shall be tamei.BSBBSB: But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.
16. 15ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall see the raw basar, and pronounce him to be tamei; for the raw basar is tamei; it is a tzara'at.BSBBSB: When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.
17. 16ENGOJBOr if the raw basar turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the kohen;BSBBSB: But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.
18. 17ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall see him; and, hinei, if the nega be turned into white, then the kohen shall pronounce him tahor that hath the nega; he is tahor.BSBBSB: The priest will reexamine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the infected person clean; then he is clean.
19. 18ENGOJBThe basar also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,BSBBSB: When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,
20. 19ENGOJBAnd in the place of the boil there be a white swelling, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shown to the kohen;BSBBSB: and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.
21. 20ENGOJBAnd if, when the kohen examine it, hinei, it be in appearance deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a nega tzara'at broken out of the boil.BSBBSB: The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil.
22. 21ENGOJBBut if the kohen examine it, and, hinei, there be no white hair therein, and if it be not deeper than the skin, but be somewhat faded, then the kohen shall quarantine him shivat yamim;BSBBSB: But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
23. 22ENGOJBAnd if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a nega.BSBBSB: If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.
24. 23ENGOJBBut if the bright spot stay in its place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the kohen shall pronounce him tahor.BSBBSB: But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
25. 24ENGOJBOr if there be any basar, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the raw basar that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white,BSBBSB: When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,
26. 25ENGOJBThen the kohen shall examine it; and, hinei, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in appearance deeper than the skin, it is a tzara'at broken out of the burning; therefore the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is the nega tzara'at.BSBBSB: the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
27. 26ENGOJBBut if the kohen examine it, and, hinei, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no deeper than the other skin, but be dim, then the kohen shall quarantine him shivat yamim;BSBBSB: But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
28. 27ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall examine him on the yom hashevi'i; and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is the nega tzara'at.BSBBSB: On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
29. 28ENGOJBAnd if the bright spot stay in its place, and spread not in the skin, but it be dim, it is a swelling of the burn, and the kohen shall pronounce him tahor; for it is an inflammation of the burning.BSBBSB: But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn.
30. 29ENGOJBIf an ish or isha have a nega upon the head or the chin,BSBBSB: If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,
31. 30ENGOJBThen the kohen shall examine the nega, and, hinei, if it be in appearance deeper than the skin, and there be in it a yellow thin hair, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a scale, even a tzara'at upon the head or chin.BSBBSB: the priest shall examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a scaly outbreak, an infectious disease of the head or chin.
32. 31ENGOJBAnd if the kohen examine the nega of the scale, and, hinei, it be not in appearance deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it, then the kohen shall quarantine him that hath the nega of the scale shivat yamim;BSBBSB: But if the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
33. 32ENGOJBAnd in the yom hashevi'i the kohen shall examine the nega; and, hinei, if the scale spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scale be not in appearance deeper than the skin,BSBBSB: On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine the infection, and if the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,
34. 33ENGOJBHe shall be shaven, but the scale shall he not shave; and the kohen shall quarantine him that hath the scale another shivat yamim;BSBBSB: then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.
35. 34ENGOJBAnd in the yom hashevi'i the kohen shall examine the scale; and, hinei, if the scale be not spread in the skin, nor be in appearance deeper than the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tahor; and he shall wash his clothes, and be tahor.BSBBSB: On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.
36. 35ENGOJBBut if the scale spread much in the skin after his tohorah,BSBBSB: If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,
37. 36ENGOJBThen the kohen shall examine him; and, hinei, if the scale be spread in the skin, the kohen need not seek for yellow hair; he is tamei.BSBBSB: the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.
38. 37ENGOJBBut if the scale be in his sight unchanged, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scale is healed, he is tahor; and the kohen shall pronounce him tahor.BSBBSB: If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.
39. 38ENGOJBIf an ish also or an isha have in the skin of their basar bright spots, even white bright spots,BSBBSB: When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
40. 39ENGOJBThen the kohen shall examine; and, hinei, if the bright spots in the skin of their basar be faint white, it is a bohak spot that groweth in the skin; he is tahor.BSBBSB: the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.
41. 40ENGOJBAnd the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he tahor.BSBBSB: Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.
42. 41ENGOJBAnd he that hath his hair fallen off from the front of his scalp, he is bald at the forehead; yet is he tahor.BSBBSB: Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
43. 42ENGOJBAnd if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish nega, it is a tzara'at breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.BSBBSB: But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.
44. 43ENGOJBThen the kohen shall examine it; and, hinei, if the swelling of the nega be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the tzara'at appeareth in the skin of the basar,BSBBSB: The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease,
45. 44ENGOJBHe is an ish tzaru'a, he is tamei; the kohen shall pronounce him utterly tamei; his nega is in his head.BSBBSB: the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.
46. 45ENGOJBAnd the tzaru'a in whom the nega is, his clothes shall be torn, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his lower face, and shall cry, Tamei! Tamei!BSBBSB: A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
47. 46ENGOJBAll the days wherein the nega shall be in him he shall be tamei; he is tamei; he shall live alone; outside the machaneh shall his moshav be.BSBBSB: As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.

48. Laws about Mildew

49. 47ENGOJBWhen a garment has the nega tzara'at in it, whether it be a wool garment, or a linen garment;BSBBSB: If any fabric is contaminated with mildew—any wool or linen garment,
50. 48ENGOJBWhether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether in a leather, or in anything made of leather;BSBBSB: any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—
51. 49ENGOJBAnd if the nega be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of leather, it is a nega tzara'at, and shall be shown unto the kohen;BSBBSB: and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest.
52. 50ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall examine the nega, and quarantine it that hath the nega shivat yamim;BSBBSB: And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.
53. 51ENGOJBAnd he shall examine the nega on the yom hashevi'i; if the nega be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a leather, or in any work that is made of leather, the nega is a malignant tzara'at; it is tamei.BSBBSB: On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean.
54. 52ENGOJBHe shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or any thing of leather, wherein the nega is; for it is a malignant tzara'at; it shall be burned in the eish.BSBBSB: He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather. Since the mildew is harmful, the article must be burned up.
55. 53ENGOJBAnd if the kohen shall examine, and, hinei, the nega be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of leather,BSBBSB: But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,
56. 54ENGOJBThen the kohen shall command that they wash the thing wherein the nega is, and he shall quarantine it another shivat yamim;BSBBSB: the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.
57. 55ENGOJBAnd the kohen shall examine the nega, after that it is washed; and, hinei, if the nega has not changed its appearance, and the nega be not spread, it is tamei; thou shalt burn it in the eish; whether the eating away hath brought bareness in the front or back.BSBBSB: After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine it, and if the mildewed article has not changed in appearance, it is unclean. Even though the mildew has not spread, you must burn it, whether the rot is on the front or back.
58. 56ENGOJBAnd if the kohen examine, and, hinei, the nega be somewhat faded after the washing of it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the leather, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;BSBBSB: If the priest examines it and the mildew has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, leather, weave, or knit.
59. 57ENGOJBAnd if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of leather, it is a spreading nega; thou shalt burn that wherein the nega is with eish.BSBBSB: But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article.
60. 58ENGOJBAnd the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of leather it be, which thou shalt wash, if the nega be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be tahor.BSBBSB: If the mildew disappears from the fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.
61. 59ENGOJBThis is the torah of the nega tzara'at in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of leather, to pronounce it tahor, or to pronounce it tamei.BSBBSB: This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.”
